Septum resection by laser is a specialized procedure used to remove or correct a septum—a partition or wall—within the uterus that may be causing issues such as recurrent miscarriages, abnormal bleeding, or fertility problems. At our hospital in Nagpur, we offer the best care for patients undergoing this advanced procedure, using state-of-the-art laser technology to ensure precision and optimal outcomes.
Procedure for Septum Resection By laser
Septum resection by laser involves the use of a laser to precisely remove or correct a uterine septum. This minimally invasive procedure is performed using a hysteroscope, which allows for direct visualization of the uterine cavity and the septum.
Indications:
- Uterine Septum: A congenital condition where a fibrous or muscular septum divides the uterine cavity.
- Recurrent Miscarriages: A uterine septum may be associated with recurrent miscarriages due to improper implantation of the embryo.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Persistent or unusual bleeding that may be attributed to the presence of a septum.
- Infertility: A septum can impact fertility by affecting the uterine environment and embryo implantation.
Procedure Steps:
- Preparation: The patient is typically given general anesthesia or conscious sedation. The procedure is usually performed in an outpatient setting.
- Insertion: A hysteroscope is inserted through the vaginal canal and cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope is equipped with a camera and light source to visualize the uterine cavity.
- Laser Resection: The laser is used to precisely remove or reshape the septum. The laser provides a high degree of control, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
- Completion: Once the septum is resected, the hysteroscope is removed, and the patient is monitored briefly before discharge.
Recovery:
- Post-Procedure Care: Patients may experience mild cramping or spotting. Pain management and specific post-operative instructions are provided.
- Return to Activities: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, although some mild discomfort may persist for a short period.
