Objective:To investigate the impact of hysteroscopic surgery on fresh embryo transfer outcomes in patients with transvaginal ultrasound-diagnosed FIGO Type Ⅱ/Ⅲ uterine fibroids that may affect the uterine cavity morphology, providing a reference for clinical practice.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 346 patients who visited the Reproductive Medicine Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022, with transvaginal ultrasound findings indicating uterine fibroids adjacent to or protruding into the uterine cavity (FIGO Type Ⅱ, Ⅲ) and who underwent fresh embryo transfer. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether hysteroscopic surgery were performed: the hysteroscopic surgery group ( n=237, the group that underwent hysteroscopy before embryo transfer) and the non-surgery group ( n=109, the group that proceeded directly to embryo transfer without hysteroscopy). Basic patient characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Results:The baseline characteristics showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. The clinical pregnancy rate [44.3% (105/237)] and the live birth rate [32.5% (77/237)] following fresh embryo transfer in the hysteroscopic surgery group were significantly higher than those in the non-surgery group [31.2% (34/109), P=0.021; 18.3% (20/109), P=0.007], whereas the pregnancy loss rate showed no significant difference. Stratified analysis by age revealed that for patients aged <35 years, the clinical pregnancy rate [62.1% (54/87)] and the live birth rate [51.7% (45/87)] in fresh embryo transfer cycles were significantly higher in the hysteroscopic surgery group compared with the non-surgery group [30.8% (12/39), P=0.001; 25.6% (10/39), P=0.006]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further confirmed that hysteroscopic surgery was an independent factor influencing live birth rate ( OR=2.128, 95% CI: 1.152-3.930, P=0.016). Among patients aged <35 years, hysteroscopic surgery was an influencing factor of both clinical pregnancy rate ( OR=4.222, 95% CI: 1.745-10.215, P=0.001) and live birth rate ( OR=3.449, 95% CI: 1.436-8.282, P=0.006). Conclusion:For infertile patients with ultrasound findings of uterine fibroids adjacent to or protruding into the uterine cavity, especially younger patients, hysteroscopy is recommended. It can improve pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer, increasing both the clinical pregnancy rate and the live birth rate.

Objective:To compare pregnancy outcomes between patients undergoing combined hysteroscopy and hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) versus hysteroscopy alone prior to intrauterine insemination, and to evaluate the safety and clinical value of the combined procedure in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 385 patients who underwent hysteroscopy at Peking University Third Hospital between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2022, and subsequently received their first cycle of artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID) within six months. Pregnancy outcomes were compared between the group receiving combined hysteroscopy with four-dimensional HyCoSy (hysteroscopy+4D-HyCoSy group) and the group receiving hysteroscopy alone (hysteroscopy group). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze factors influencing pregnancy outcomes after AID.Results:Among the 385 patients included, 79 achieved clinical pregnancy. The clinical pregnancy rate (24.9%, 53/213) and live birth rate (21.1%, 45/213) in the hysteroscopy+4D-HyCoSy group were significantly higher than those in the hysteroscopy group [15.1% (26/172) and 12.8% (22/172), respectively; all P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in tubal patency between the two groups ( P>0.05); however, the time interval from tubal patency assessment to intrauterine insemination was significantly longer in the hysteroscopy group compared to the hysteroscopy+4D-HyCoSy group (median: 4.0 vs 2.0 months; P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that double insemination significantly increased clinical pregnancy rate compared to single insemination ( OR=2.42, 95% CI: 1.02-5.72; P=0.044). An interval exceeding 6 months between tubal patency assessment and intrauterine insemination was identified as a risk factor for reduced clinical pregnancy ( OR=0.35, 95% CI: 0.14-0.92; P=0.047). Additionally, neither the time interval from hysteroscopy to intrauterine insemination nor hysteroscopic findings and pathological diagnoses had significant effects on clinical pregnancy rates (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The combination of hysteroscopy and HyCoSy provides a safe and efficient approach for fertility assessment in infertile patients and improves clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate in intrauterine insemination cycles. Hysteroscopy is recommended for patients with suspected endometrial or intrauterine abnormalities. If no previous tubal patency assessment has been performed or the last assessment was more than six months prior, combined hysteroscopy and HyCoSy may be considered to enhance the likelihood of clinical pregnancy.
