Abstract
About one in every six couples is affected by sterility. Assisted reproduction procedures are currently the treatment of choice for a number ofpatients who desire children. Many causes of sterility can be overcome with the aid of in vitro fertilization, but successful implantation of theembryos is the major limiting factor. Failure of implantation may occur repetitively. In the treatment of sterility, many approaches have been usedto overcome the barrier of implantation failure and improve the chances of successful nidation. Scratching the endometrium prior to embryotransfer has been suggested as one means of enhancing the likelihood of implantation. The current literature was examined to investigate ifthere was any possible benefit from endometrial scratching. The studies were divided according to whether the women suffered from recurrentimplantation failure or not. In summary, it was found that unselected subfertile women generally benefit less from endometrial scratching, butscratching appears to be successful in women who have experienced repeated implantation failure. Although the heterogeneous body of dataon the subject deserves further clarification. The latest data presented at “European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology” 2018 inBarcelona suggested that the method should be abandoned. (J Turk Ger Gynecol Assoc 2020; 21: 124-9)
