Hysteroscopic metroplasty.

H R McClelland 1
PMCID: PMC2449032  PMID: 8516978

Abstract

Four patients with reproductive failure associated with uterine septa had transvaginal hysteroscopic metroplasty performed. Two successful pregnancies have occurred and a third patient is now in the second trimester of pregnancy. This method of treatment should replace the traditional open method of surgical repair of these malformations.
