Abstract

Purpose of investigation: Diagnostic-operative hysteroscopy was successful in two cases of endometrial ossification, and frtilitywas restored. Methods: A 30-year-old and a 32-year-old woman presented at our Department with a history of secondary infertility.complai-ning of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and polymenorrhea which lasted for about one year before admission.Previous ultrasound studiesrevealed the presence of two bright hyperechogenic bands with posterior shadowing. Results: In both cases diagnostic-operative hysteroscopies were performed, displaying osseous fragments which were removed with resectoscopy, mainly mechanically. Conclusion: Hysteroscopic resection should be the elective treatment for endometrial ossification because it allows completeremoval of osseous fragments and reduces the chance of residual synechia.The mean objective of hysteroscopy in endometrial ossi-fication is the restitution of conceivement capability.
