Uterine septum surgery (hysteroscopic metroplasty) is a quick, highly effective, outpatient procedure designed to remove a congenital band of tissue in the uterus, often to treat recurrent miscarriages or infertility. Surgeons use a thin camera (hysteroscope) and scissors or electrical energy to cut the septum, restoring a normal uterine shape in 5-30 minutes.
