A uterine septum is a congenital condition present from birth where a muscular or fibrous partition divides the uterine cavity in two. Because the septum tissue has extremely poor blood supply, it is highly challenging for a fertilized egg to successfully implant and grow, frequently causing recurrent miscarriages, infertility, and premature labor.
Hysteroscopic metroplasty is the gold-standard corrective treatment. Using a thin hysteroscope passed through the cervix, the surgeon splits the partition down the center. This division allows the septum tissue to retract, merging the partitioned spaces into a single, normal, healthy uterine cavity. The procedure requires no external cuts or abdominal incisions, is performed under short anesthesia, and ensures rapid recovery within 24 to 48 hours.
