Purpose of Uterine Septal Resection

he purpose of uterine septal resection is to remove the partition of tissue within the uterus and restore the normal shape of the uterus. This can help to improve fertility and reduce the risk of recurrent miscarriages. It can also relieve symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding.

Notifying your doctor of any allergies or medical conditions

During the Procedure

During the uterine septal resection procedure, the doctor will insert a hysteroscope, a thin and lighted tube, through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. A saline solution may be used to expand the uterus and allow for better visualization. The doctor will then use special instruments to remove the partition of tissue within the uterus.

Recovery After Uterine Septal Resection

Your doctor will give you specific instructions on when you can return to your normal activities and when you should follow up for your next appointment.
