Background Septate uterus is a common Mullerian ducts anomaly. The aim of our study was the evaluation of the efficacy of hysteroscopic metroplasty with diode laser to increase endometrial volume in women with septate uterus.
Results We prospectively enrolled 10 consecutive patients with septate uterus who underwent office hysteroscopic metroplasty with diode laser between february 2019 and november 2019. Endometrial volume was evaluated before and 3 months after surgery using 3D transvaginal ultrasound. The surgical procedure was uncomplicated in all patients, the endometrial volume increased at 3 months follow up and there was a complete removal of septum with no intrauterine synechiae at follow up hysteroscopy.
Conclusions Office hysteroscopic metroplasty with diode laser is a safe procedure and has preliminary showed to increase endometrial volume.
