Abstract

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of hysteroscopic septum resection of the complete septate uterus with cervical duplication in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortions or infertility. Prospective consecutive clinical study. University hospital for obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive medicine. Twenty-five patients with a complete septate uterus, cervical duplication, and history of recurrent spontaneous abortions (13 cases) or infertility (12 cases) were included. Hysteroscopic septum resection and sparing the double cervix using a bougie served as a means of orientation and blockage of internal cervical os. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, and postoperative anatomic identification of the uterus. No intraoperative and postoperative complications were encountered. Postoperatively, ultrasound revealed minor fundal septal remnants in 7 (31.8%) of 22 patients receiving the ultrasound detection, and no residual septum in the other 15 cases (68.2%). By using a bougie technique, hysteroscopic correction of complete septate uterus with cervical duplication and sparing the double cervix can be performed successfully.
