Uterine reconstruction for complete septate uterus

Keio J Med. 1999 Dec;48(4):201-3. doi: 10.2302/kjm.48.201.

Abstract

In the period between 1990-1995, six women with complete septate uterus presented to our clinic and underwent uterine reconstruction using our own unique procedure, a method we independently developed using the Jones & Jones procedure and the Thompkins procedure for reference. Five of these 6 cases later became pregnant, and to date, they have given birth to 7 newborns. Because of a very high rate of successful postoperative pregnancy, we were convinced that uterine reconstruction is useful for complete septate uterus.
