Open Abdominal Metroplasty for the Treatment of Uterine Septum in a Woman with Uterine Factor Infertility- A Case Report

Anomalies of the Paramesonephric duct is a group of congenital malformations that occur either from the failure to complete bilateral Mullerian duct elongation, fusion, duct canalization, or resorption of the septum. Septate uterus is the commonest of these anomalies and is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes especially miscarriages. Metroplasty has been associated with improved pregnancy outcomes with hysteroscopic resection been the preferred approach currently. Open abdominal metroplasty is a useful alternative in low resource set-up or where facilities for hysteroscopy is not readily available or not affordable. The need for this case report is to document the case of a complete uterine septum in a 31-year-old woman with three previous miscarriages who had open abdominal metroplasty and subsequent pregnancy with good outcome.
