The incidence of Müllerian duct anomalies in women is rare, associating with urinary tract anomalies such as horseshoe or pelvic kidney, renal agenesis, duplication of the collecting system, or ectopic uterus. Septate uterus is one type of congenital uterine anomalies, in which there is a septum from the fundus to the cervix. Currently, it is believed that hysteroscopic metroplasty is a leading...

Mullerian duct anomalies are the most common congenital anomalies of the reproductive system and septate uterus is the most frequently diagnosed Müllerian anomaly. The true incidence of Mullerian duct anomalies is difficult to state because some cases may be asymptomatic and there are pitfalls associated with various diagnostic methods. This is a case report of a 17-year-old primigravida with s...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether sectioning the cervical septum is associated with intraoperative bleeding, incompetent cervix, and secondary infertility. In this prospective observational study, fourteen women with complete septate uterus who had a history of repeated pregnancy loss and infertility were treated hysteroscopically. Preoperative history included 35 pregnanci...

STUDY QUESTION Does the use of diagnostic criteria in the hysteroscopic diagnosis of a septate uterus improve inter-observer agreement? SUMMARY ANSWER Pre-set diagnostic criteria slightly improve the inter-observer reproducibility of hysteroscopy in diagnosing a uterine septum, although agreement remains moderate. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The inter-observer agreement on the hysteroscopic diagn...

Abstract Background Septate uterus is a common Mullerian ducts anomaly. The aim of our pilot study was the evaluation diode laser hysteroscopic metroplasty efficacy to increase endometrial volume in women with septate uterus. Results We prospectively enrolled 10 consecutive patients undergoing office between February and November 2019. Endometrial evaluated before 3 months after surgery using 3...

Congenital anomalies of the Müllerian ducts especially uterine abnormalities can affect negatively the different stages of fertility interfering with sperm migration, embryo implantation, normal placentation, fetal growth and achievement of a successful pregnancy. They are present in 2-10% of all women, three times greater in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss and lead to infertility and ad...

Uterine malformations consist of a group of miscellaneous congenital anomalies of the female genital system. Their mean prevalence in the general population and in the population of fertile women is approximately 4.3%, in infertile patients approximately 3.5% and in patients with recurrent pregnancy losses approximately 13%. Septate uterus is the commonest uterine anomaly with a mean incidence ...

Fusion defects of the Müllerian ducts occur frequently and they have been described by the American Fertility Society. However, septate uterus with cervical duplication and longitudinal vaginal septum is not described by this classification and has suggested a change in the classical theory of fusion of the Müllerian ducts. This paper describes a rare case report of a patient with complete sept...

Early in female embryonic development the uterus, oviduct, and vagina arise from paired line. Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) result from defects in fusion or incomplete resorption. Failure of resorption of the median septum results in a septate or subseptate uterus. Complete or partial duplication of the uterine cavities depends on whether the failure of resorption is complete or partial (1).
