    Purpose Of ReviewTo evaluate the reproductive outcomes and surgical techniques of the hysteroscopic metroplasty in women with septate uterus and recurrent abortions or primary unexplained infertility.Recent FindingsSeptate uterus is the most frequent congenital uterine anomaly caused by inadequate resorption of the Müllerian ducts. Hysteroscopic metroplasty has replaced the traditional laparotomy approach because of its positive and satisfactory outcomes in pregnancy and live-birth rates, and also many different postoperative benefits. The aim of metroplasty is to restore a normal anatomy of the uterine cavity as a prerequisite for a positive implantation and subsequent good obstetrical outcomes. This treatment clearly demonstrates its effectiveness both in recurrent abortion and in primary unexplained infertility.SummaryThe hysteroscopic metroplasty with its simplicity, safety, and improved reproductive outcomes has liberalized the approach to treatment. Today, hysteroscopic metroplasty is a common practice to treat septate uterus with salutary effects both in infertile patients and in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss or premature labor, especially if in-vitro fertilization is being contemplated. Decisions on when to treat uterine septa are discussed in particular because of lack of prospective, randomized controlled trials.
