A retrospective study of 478 patients carriers of uterine factor that received attention at the Infertility Department of the "Dr. Luis Díaz Soto" Higer Institute of Military Medicine from l968 to l998 was conducted. It was found that myoma predominated among the causes (78 %), followed by Asherman's syndrome (11 %), uterine malformations (10 %) and polyps (0.8 %). The most used surgical techniques according to diseases are mentioned here. A normalization of menstruations in 97.2 % of the cases, as well as a high index of pregnancies (63.7 %) were obtained.

Keywords : INFETILITY, FEMALE; MYOMA [surgery]; GYNATRESIA; POLYPS; ENDOMETRIAL NEOPLASMS; UTERUS [abnormalities].
