Diagnostic and therapeutic hysteroscopy in Ethiopia: a retrospective study on practice and outcomes

Our hysteroscopic evaluation was predominantly requested for primary infertility cases, with secondary amenorrhea, secondary infertility, and abnormal uterine bleeding also being commonly encountered indications. Adhesiolysis was the leading intervention during hysteroscopy, while uterine perforation was the main complication. The hysteroscopy procedures exhibited a strong safety profile, with few complications noted. Future studies should address factors affecting outcomes in diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, and common factors linked to intrauterine adhesions.

Abstract

Our hysteroscopic evaluation was predominantly requested for primary infertility cases, with secondary amenorrhea, secondary infertility, and abnormal uterine bleeding also being commonly encountered indications. Adhesiolysis was the leading intervention during hysteroscopy, while uterine perforation was the main complication. The hysteroscopy procedures exhibited a strong safety profile, with few complications noted. Future studies should address factors affecting outcomes in diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, and common factors linked to intrauterine adhesions.
