Methods: The medical records of reproductive outcomes in patients who have had history of RSA and infertility who were diagnosed with uterine septum only by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) between January 2008 and December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. The subjects who have had severe male factor, tubal factors, other uterine factors, endocrine abnormalities, peritoneal factors, and abnormal karyotyping among both partners were excluded. In 27 patients, confirmation of diagnosis by laparoscopy and elimination of uterine septum by trans-vaginal hysteroscopy was done. Seventeen patients were strongly suspected to uterine septum on HSG but tried to get pregnancy without any other procedure for evaluation and management of uterine anomaly. Age matched 42 patients who have history of RSA and/or infertility and diagnosed to normal HSG finding at same period were randomly selected as control. The medical records of reproductive outcomes were analyzed and compared between groups. Results: The mean time of observation after diagnosis was 21.8 months (10 to 32). 55.6% (15/27) of patients in patients who received trans-vaginal hysteroscopic uterine septotomy were success to get pregnancies and was significantly higher than that of 17 patients who did not receive proper management (23.5%, 4/17, p<0.05). In control population, 40.5% (17/42) were success to pregnancies and the differences were not statistically significant compared to both two study groups. The live birth rate which was excluded pregnancy loss by abnormal fetal karyotyping and congenital anomaly were 75% (9/12) in treated septated uterus group and 84.6% (11/13) in control group each which have no statistically significant different. In patients with septated uterus who did not receive proper management showed lower delivery rate (50%, 2/4) than that of other groups but was not statistically significant. Conclusion: According to present data, women with a uterine septum have an increased chance of successful pregnancy with improved obstetric outcome after proper management of the uterine cavity. And these results were showed in patients with no regard to their reproductive history. But, in case of failed to receive proper management, uterine septum can affect not only pregnancy ongoing but successful pregnancy too. [Korean. J. Reprod.

Ann N Y Acad Sci 1994; 734: = 국문초록 = 목적 : 중격자궁은흔하게보고되는선천성자궁기형중하나이며여성의생식능력에미치는영향에대해아직이견이많고, 따라서치료의필요성에대해서도아직정립되지않았다. 본연구에서는중격자궁의존재및치료여부가생식수행에미치는영향에대해알아보고자하였다. 연구방법 : 2008년 1월부터 2009년 12월까지불임또는습관성유산을주소로제일병원산부인과를방문하여자궁난관조영술을시행한총 2,838명의환자들중중격자궁이진단된 44명의환자들을대상으로하였으며, 이중 27명은자궁경하자궁중격절제술을시행받았으며, 17명은진단후추가적인치료를받지않았다. 대조군은동일기간내에자궁기형이진단되지않은환자 42명을나이를고려후무작위선정하였다. 연구대상군의임신율, 자연유산율, 그리고생존분만율등에대한의무기록을후향적으로분석하였으며, 대상군들의평균추적관찰기간은진단후 21.8개월이었다. 결과 : 추적관찰기간중자궁경하질식자궁중격절제술을시행받은환자 (n=27) 의 55.6% (15/27) 가임신에성공한반면치료를받지않은환자 (n=17) 의약 23.5% (4/17) 만이임신에성공하여치료받은군에서통계적으로의미있는높은수치를보였다 (p<0.05). 한편생존분만율은치료를받은환자군및자궁기형이진단되지않은불임또는습관성유산환자 ( 대조군, n=42) 에서각각 75% 와 84.6% 를보인반면치료받지않은군에서는 50% (2/4) 를보여치료받지않은중격자궁환자에서낮은경향을보이지만통계학적의미는없었다. 결론 : 중격자궁이생식수행에미치는영향은자연유산등산과적합병증뿐아니라오히려임신력의저하에더큰악영항을미칠수있으며불임환자에서중격자궁의존재시적극적인치료가임신성공률의향상에도움이될것으로생각되지만보다명확한결론을위해규모가크고관찰기간이긴대단위연구가필요할것으로생각된다. 중심단어 : 중격자궁, 자궁난관조영술, 생식수행
