Correct Answer » B Explanation |
 |
A uterine septum is the most common Müllerian duct anomaly, resulting from failure of resorption of the midline septum after fusion of the Müllerian ducts. This condition is associated with:
-
Recurrent pregnancy loss
-
Infertility
-
Preterm delivery
-
Malpresentation
The preferred management is hysteroscopic septal resection (hysteroscopic metroplasty).
Procedure
-
A hysteroscope is introduced through the cervix into the uterine cavity.
-
The fibrous septum is visualized directly.
-
The septum is cut using scissors, electrosurgery, or laser.
-
The procedure restores a normal uterine cavity.
Advantages:
-
Minimally invasive
-
No abdominal incision
-
Short hospital stay
-
Improved fertility and pregnancy outcomes
