To compare the obstetric results achieved after hysteroscopic office metroplasty (HOME-DU) in infertile and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) patients diagnosed with dysmorphic uterus, women hysteroscopically diagnosed with dysmorphic uterus who underwent uterine-enlargement metroplasty were prospectively enrolled from June 2016 until April 2020.
