Setting: University outpatient surgical center. Patient(s): Twenty-one patients with Class Va uterus treated between 1985−1998 in the senior author’s academic practice. Intervention(s): Hysteroscopic metroplasty with preservation of cervical septum. Main Outcome Measure(s): Intraoperative and postoperative complications; postoperative cumulative pregnancy and delivery rates. Result(s): No long-term complications were encountered.
