Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy for oblique uterine septum and oblique vaginal septum. Case Report: There were one patient with oblique uterine septum and another patient with oblique vaginal septum. Case 1 was a 14-year-old female, who revealed a left unicornuate uterus and right non-communicating rudimentary horn with a cavity. Using a resectoscope with a needle electrode, the authors made a transverse incision on the bulging area of the septum at the level of the tubal ostium. Case 2 was a 14-year-old female with a double vagina, large fluid collection in the occluded right hemivagina, and absent of the right kidney. The authors performed a hysteroscopy, resection of the vaginal septum, and vaginoplasty. Conclusion: Intraoperative ultrasound monitoring can improve surgery safety, with the advantages of lesser amounts of trauma, a good therapeutic effect, fewer complications, less bleeding, quick recovery, and simultaneous protection of the hymen.
