Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to assess the safety and efficacy of hysteroscopic septum resection by Versapoint. Forty-five subfertile patients who underwent hysteroscopic septum resection using the Versapoint system were analysed. A type Va and a type Vb septate uterus were present in 10 (22.2%) and 35 (77.8%) patients respectively. Complete septum excision was feasible in all patients. No complications occurred during septum resection. Repeat hysteroscopy 2 months after septum excision showed normal endometrial cavity in all patients. Hysteroscopic septum resection by Versapoint system is a safe and efficient method.
