title: Hysteroscopic morcellator system can be used for removal of a uterine septum.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate whether the hysteroscopic morcellator (HM) can be used as an alternative for uterine septum removal.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Outpatient clinic of a university-affiliated teaching hospital (Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, the Netherlands).
  
  
  METHODS
  A 34-year-old Asian woman with recurrent miscarriages and a large uterine septum and bicornuate uterus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Septum removal using the HM.
  
  
  METHODS
  Successful removal of a uterine septum.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Considering obstetric complications, septum removal was carried out. Currently, septum transection using the resectoscope is the gold standard. Instead of transection we achieved nearly complete removal of a septum, using the HM.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The HM is a safe, effective, and easily manageable alternative for uterine septum removal compared with classic resectoscopy.
