Background and Aims: To describe the clinical characteristics and evaluate the results of office hysteroscopy in patients with recurrent implantation failure at Tam Anh General Hospital. Methods: A descriptive study on 151 patients at Tam Anh General Hospital who had failed embryo transfer twice or more consecutively was carried out from January 2021 to March 2023. Results: 151 patients were included in the study, 41,1% of which had unexplained infertility. The mean age and duration of infertility were 34,5 ± 5,2 years and 5,7 ± 3,4 years, respectively. 55,0% of patients exhibited uterine cavity abnormalities during office hysteroscopy, with the most common is endometritis accounting for 29.8%. The median time to perform the procedure was 3 (2) minutes, the mean VAS pain score was 3,2 ± 1,1 points. No complications related to office hysteroscopy were noted. Conclusions: A office hysteroscopy was able to detect intrauterine pathologies which were missed by other investigative modalities. In individuals who have experienced repeated implantation failure, office hysteroscopy is a safe and practical approach that should be recognized as a crucial tool for intrauterine evaluation.
