Abstract

Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics and evaluate the results of office hysteroscopy in patients with recurrent implantation failure at Tam Anh General Hospital. Methods: A descriptive study on 98 patients at Tam Anh General Hospital who had failed embryo transfer twice or more consecutively was carried out from January 2021 to October 2022. Results: 98 patients were included in the study, 48% of which had unexplained infertility. The mean age and duration of infertility were 34.46 ± 5.16 years and 5.05 ± 2.86 years, respectively. 55.1% of patients exhibited uterine cavity abnormalities during office hysteroscopy, with the most common is endometritis accounting for 29.6%. The median time to perform the procedure was 3 (3) minutes, the mean VAS pain score was 3.02 ± 1.22 points. No complications related to office hysteroscopy were noted. Conclusion: A office hysteroscopy was able to detect intrauterine pathologies which were missed by other investigative modalities. In individuals who have experienced repeated implantation failure, office hysteroscopy is a safe and practical approach that should be recognized as a crucial tool for  intrauterine evaluation.
