aData reported as number (%), mean ± SD (range, minimum–maximum), or median [interquartile range] (range, minimum to maximum). Assessments: preoperative parameters assessed with three-dimensional sonohysterography; intraoperative myometrial thickness after septum resection assessed with three-dimensional transrectal ultrasonography; follow-up (6–8 weeks) myometrial thickness and RS length assessed with three-dimensional sonohysterography.
