Uterine Lesions and Their Association to Invitro Fertilization(IVF) or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection(ICSI) Outcome

Overview

1. To study the effect of uterine wall , intracavitary , cervical as well as cervical canal lesion on the outcome of IVF/ICSI cycle. 2. To establish a score for prediction of IVF/ICSI cycle success .

IVF is one of the most successful treatment of fertility, (1) however, several IVF cycles fail to achieve pregnancy (2).failure defined as three or more failed attempts of ICSI (3). Implantation failure is a complex in nature, may be due to structural or functional causes (3, 4). that previously undiagnosed, misinterpreted initial diagnoses, or subtle newly added intrauterine abnormalities may be a significant cause of IVF failure (5, 6), studies say that intra-uterine pathologies represent 40-50 % of causes of ICSI failure (7, 8), hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum, or intrauterine adhesions could increase the pregnancy rate (9). so, Evaluation of the uterine cavity may become a routine investigation before assisted reproductive technology(ART) procedures (10). In this study, we evaluate the relationship between the different uterine and cervical pathologies and decreased live birth rate.
