Metroplasty (also called Strassman metroplasty, ureteroplasty or hysteroplasty) is a reconstructive surgery used to repair congenital anomalies of the uterus, including septate uterus and bicornuate uterus. The surgery entails removing the abnormal tissue that separates the cornua of the uterus, then using several layers of stitches to create a normal shape.
How is a metroplasty done? 3.2 Hysteroscopic metroplasty is usually done with the patient under general or spinal anaesthesia. After cervical dilation, a hysteroscope is inserted into the uterus through the cervix. The uterine cavity is distended using an appropriate fluid; fluid control must be carefully monitored to avoid fluid overload.
Hysteroscopic septum incision, or metroplasty, is the treatment of choice for women with a septate uterus and a history of pregnancy loss.
There is no specific time that is recommended. Since the uterine cavity is healed two months post-operatively, that should be a sufficient waiting time. However, there have been studies where pregnancy was achieved within a month of treatment with excellent outcomes.
