Abstract		The reproductive outcomes in 232 women after transcervical metroplasty (1993-96) have been evaluated. The 83% postoperative pregnancy rate in the group of women complaining fetal wastage was significantly higher compared to the 48% postoperative pregnancy rate in the infertile group (P<0.0001). The structures of 300 pregnancies before the operation significantly differed to the structure of 144 pregnancies after the operation (P<0.0001). The spontaneous abortion rate lowered from 78 to 11% (P<0.0001). The delivery rate increased from 13 to 81%. Preterm deliveries dropped from 55 to 10% of all deliveries (P<0.0001). Ectopic pregnancy rate showed no difference: 8 and 8%. The mean neonatal weight was 3335 g. Perinatal and neonatal data in the metroplasty group showed no difference compared to the data in the controls. The results highlight both the curative and the preventive role of this safe and simple endoscopic procedure.
