Abstract

Asherman's syndrome has significant reproductive implications for patients. In most case series, the rate of fertility and full term birth directly correlates to extent of disease. However, there does not seem to be a connection between number of prior curettages, nor aetiology of adhesions in predicting outcome. Without a universally accepted classification system, comparison of research data and results for imaging modalities is difficult.
