Abstract
To investigate the reproductive outcomes of women with complete septate uterus and duplicated cervix who either did or did not receive cervical septum incision during hysteroscopic transcervical incision of the uterine septum. Retrospective study approved by the Hospital Ethics Committee. Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Women with complete septate uterus and duplicated cervix who underwent hysteroscopic transcervical incision of the uterine septum in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University between January 2008 and December 2020 (n=105). Hysteroscopic incision of the septum. Included patients were grouped according to whether or not cervical septum incision was performed. Reproductive outcomes including gravidity, abortion rate, preterm birth rate, full-term birth rate, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), and cervical incompetence were assessed. In no incision group, the abortion rate (7.4%) was significantly lower than that of incision group (27.6%, p=0.01); the preterm birth rate (4.6%) was significantly lower than that of incision group (36.8%); and the full-term birth rate (95.5%) exceeded that of incision group (63.2%, p<0.01). Incidence of PROM and cervical incompetence during pregnancy was higher in incision group (15.8% and 10.5%, p<0.01 and p=0.03). Significantly improved reproductive outcomes were observed among patients with complete septate uterus and duplicated cervix whose cervical septum was preserved during the hysteroscopic transcervical incision of the uterine septum procedure.
