Abstract

In some women Congenital anomalies can be seen among which abnormal uterine cavity due to formation of septum is common. Due to the formation of this type of uterus many consequences can be observed which includes spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, infertility, preterm delivery and complications during delivery. To overcome this problem a primary and simple surgical technique named hysteroscopic metroplasty was introduced for the safe removal of the septum. The patients did not experience dysmenorrhea and recovered well. Many studies were performed on this technique which concluded that removal of septum in women with both septate uterus and unexplained infertility is beneficial than in women with only unexplained infertility. Fertility and live birth rates were significantly improved, and spontaneous abortions were decreased in women who underwent this technique.
