title: [Hysteroscopic metroplasty of uterine septa].
abstract: A series of 23 patients with septate uteri who underwent hysteroscopic division of the septum between January 1990 and March 1992 were studied. Before operation 19 of the 23 patients had 50 pregnancies with 29 spontaneous abortions, 7 late abortions, 5 premature deliveries and 9 deliveries at term. Sixteen patients who were followed up for more than 6 months conceived 9 times. Six of these went to term with 4 normal deliveries and 2 caesarean sections for obstetrical indications. There are 2 pregnancies continuing at present (at 25 and 27 weeks of amenorrhoea) and one spontaneous abortion in the first trimester. Two patients had to be operated on again because a partial residual septum was found post-operatively.
