Uterine Septum Resection
Hysteroscopic septum resection may be discussed when a partition within the uterine cavity is identified and treatment is appropriate.
Confirming the diagnosis
Imaging helps distinguish a uterine septum from other differences in uterine shape. The diagnosis should be clear before considering surgery.
Deciding whether to proceed
Your pregnancy history and individual circumstances guide the discussion. Benefits are not the same for everyone, and an operation is not automatically required for an incidental finding.
Procedure and follow-up
In selected cases the septum is divided using a hysteroscope. Discuss bleeding, perforation, scarring and alternatives, as well as follow-up and any recommendations about future pregnancy.
This information supports a discussion with your doctor. Suitability, availability and any specialist referral should be confirmed with the hospital. Individual care plans and outcomes vary.
