A recent study found a significant correlation between endometriosis and non-obstructive forms of Müllerian anomalies. Other studies described an increased miscarriage rate in patients with endometriosis. This study assessed the effect of endometriosis on pregnancy outcome in a group of patients with endometriosis and septate uterus. Spontaneously achieved pregnancies were taken into consideration. The outcome of 179 infertile women who underwent surgery for septate uterus was analysed in a retrospective study. Stage I or II endometriosis was found by laparoscopy in 36 patients. The pregnancy outcomes, before and after metroplasty, of the group of 36 patients with septum and endometriosis were compared with the pregnancy outcomes of 143 patients with septate uterus with no endometriosis. Before metroplasty the incidence of pregnancy loss was 67% in patients without endometriosis and 75% in patients with endometriosis and the difference was not significant. After metroplasty, no significant differences have been found between the two groups, suggesting that endometriosis could be an occasional finding not influencing pregnancy outcome.

Study Objective: The association between endometriosis and congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) has been discussed for decades, but existing evidence about this association is scarce. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of CUAs in women with endometriosis and to identify specific characteristics in women with both CUAs and endometriosis in a large cohort of patients.
Design: This is a retrospective single-center observational study conducted between January 2006 and June 2021.

Background: Usefulness of hysteroscopic metroplasty to improve reproductive outcomes is controversial and debated among reproductive specialists and, consequently, patients.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis to assess the quality, reliability, and level of misinformation in YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok videos about hysteroscopic metroplasty. Videos on each social network retrieved using "hysteroscopy" and "septate uterus" or "uterine septum" as keywords were assessed using Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for audio-visual (PEMAT A/V) content, the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), Global Quality Scale (GQS), Video Information and Quality Index (VIQI) and Misinformation assessment.

Purpose: This review aims to identify and analyze the risk factors associated with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and to evaluate the effectiveness of various predictive models in estimating the risk of RPL. The review also explores recent advancements in machine learning algorithms that can enhance the accuracy of these predictive models. The ultimate goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these tools can aid in the personalized management of women experiencing RPL.

Müllerian anomalies (MA) occur as a result of errors during embryogenesis. These changes are associated with genetic mutations, developmental disabilities, or environmental causes that affect the embryonic development stages. This paper describes a rare case report of a 22-year-old female who came to our hospital due to dyspareunia after one year of evolution.
