We have researched operative histeroscopy in treating endometrial abnormalities as a cause of marital infertility. A group of 320 infertile patients was included in the study. Color Doppler examination detected endometrial abnormalities (subseptus, polyp, synechiae, myoma, uterus bicornuate, and uterus arcuate). The controlling group consisted of 100 patients suffering endometrial abnormalities, who have not underwent the operation. In research group, there were 9 pregnancies following operative histeroscopy over a period of 18 months. That is 34.6%, out of which 89 (27.8%) have been carried out and delivered. We have also studied the surgical risk of operative histeroscopy. According to the results, operative histeroscopy is minimally invasive, surgically comfortable, economically acceptable. The influence of histeroscopy on the endometrium during pregnancy and delivery is such that there is no significant difference in comparison to the patients that were not operated. The pregnancy following operative histeroscopy is phsysiological. The delivery has no implication of pathological nature, nor difference in duration, type, or any other component. The enonathological parameters do not differ from physiological
