Abstract

This is the case of a 30-year-old nulliparous patient with a complete uterine septum, double cervix and non- obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum (Class U2bC2V1 according to the ESHRE/ESGE classification). The patient presented with severe dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea. Imaging revealed a complex Müllerian anomaly and hysteroscopic treatment was agreed. We present an approach of hysteroscopic metroplasty after insertion of a Foley catheter balloon in one uterine hemi-cavity, which serves as a guide for septum resection using a resectoscope in the contralateral hemi-cavity. No complications were encountered. The patient was discharged after a short period of observation. A post-operative evaluation revealed complete resection of the vaginal septum and the formation of a single, normal uterine cavity.
