What is Hysteroscopic Septum Resection Surgery?
Hysteroscopic Septum Resection is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a septum (a partition) within the uterus (womb). This septum is a congenital anomaly, meaning it is present from birth. It can divide the uterine cavity, potentially affecting fertility and pregnancy outcomes. The procedure is performed using a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube, allowing the surgeon to see and operate inside the uterus.
This surgery is needed when a uterine septum causes recurrent miscarriages or infertility. If left untreated, it can lead to complications in pregnancy. Hysteroscopic Septum Resection is a minimally invasive approach. It offers a quicker recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery. Modern techniques ensure precision in removing the septum, improving reproductive outcomes. Always consult a specialist for advice on this procedure.

Hysteroscopic Septum Resection Surgery Indications
Doctors recommend hysteroscopic septum resection when a uterine septum causes reproductive issues or symptoms that affect a woman's quality of life. This procedure is considered when conservative treatments do not provide relief or improve fertility outcomes.
Recurrent Miscarriages
Women experiencing multiple miscarriages may have a uterine septum. This structural anomaly can be identified through imaging tests like an MRI or hysterosalpingography. When recurrent pregnancy loss is linked to a septum, surgery is often advised.
Infertility
Some women face difficulty conceiving due to a uterine septum. Doctors may detect this condition during fertility evaluations using ultrasound or hysteroscopy. If infertility persists despite other treatments, resection may be recommended.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding can be a symptom of a uterine septum. Gynecologists may find this condition during a pelvic exam or imaging studies. When bleeding is severe and unresponsive to medication, surgery may be necessary.
Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain without other identifiable causes might be due to a uterine septum. This can be confirmed through diagnostic imaging. If pain management fails, surgical intervention may be considered.
Recurrent Pregnancy Complications
Women with repeated pregnancy complications, such as preterm birth, may have a septum. This is often diagnosed through imaging or during previous pregnancy evaluations. Surgery is suggested when complications are linked to the septum.
How to Prepare for Hysteroscopic Septum Resection Surgery?
Proper preparation for a hysteroscopic septum resection ensures a smoother procedure and recovery. It helps in minimizing risks and enhances the effectiveness of the surgery.
- Medication Review: Stop NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and herbal supplements at least a week before surgery. Consult your doctor for specific instructions.
- Fasting: Do not eat or drink anything for at least 6-8 hours before the procedure to prepare for anaesthesia.
- Bowel Preparation: Follow any specific bowel prep instructions given by your healthcare provider to ensure a clear view during the procedure.
- Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of the surgery for ease and comfort post-procedure.
- Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure as you may feel drowsy from the anaesthesia.
- Medication List: Bring a list of all medications you are currently taking, including dosages, to share with the medical team.
- Pre-Surgery Instructions: Follow any additional instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure you are fully prepared.
- Contact Information: Keep emergency contact details handy for any post-procedure queries or concerns.
Hysteroscopic Septum Resection Surgery (Step-by-Step)
This procedure is performed by gynecologists. It typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. General or regional anaesthesia is commonly used to ensure patient comfort.
- Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably. Anaesthesia is administered. The cervix is gently dilated to allow the hysteroscope to pass through.
- Insertion of Hysteroscope: A hysteroscope, a thin tube with a camera, is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. This allows the surgeon to view the uterine cavity on a monitor.
- Identification of Septum: The uterine septum is located using the camera. The surgeon examines the size and position of the septum.
- Resection of Septum: A resectoscope, equipped with a bipolar cautery, is used to carefully cut and remove the septum. This step requires precision to avoid damage to surrounding tissues.
- Inspection and Cleaning: The uterine cavity is inspected to ensure complete removal of the septum. Any remaining tissue is gently removed, and the area is cleaned.
- Completion: The hysteroscope is withdrawn. The patient is moved to a recovery area for monitoring as the anaesthesia wears off.
