Metroplastia cervical histeroscópica en útero septo completo, septo cervical y tabique vaginal. Análisis de resultados clínicos y reproductivos en serie de casos de 2011 a 2021

Abstract

Background

The septum uterus with cervical septum and vaginal septum is a rare entity only described in classifications that include complex Müllerian malformations such as the VCUAM (2005), ESHRE/ESGE (2013) and ASRM (2021) classifications. The objective of our work is to describe the results of hysteroscopic cervical metroplasty according to the Vercellini technique in our patients.

Material and method

This is a retrospective observational cohort study with a duration of 10 years. Only patients with a diagnosis of a complete septum uterus, cervical septum, and vaginal septum with indication of cervical metroplasty according to the Vercellini technique between 2011 and 2021 were included.

Results

The results of five patients with indication of the technique were analyzed. Analyzing our result, we highlight a live newborn at term after performing the technique, which was followed up in the prematurity clinic without cervical modifications because of the resection of the cervical septum.

Conclusion

There is very little evidence available regarding the treatment of the uterus complete septum with cervical septum and vaginal septum due to its low prevalence and the heterogeneity of the diagnosis. Analyzing the results obtained, we consider the Vercellini intervention to be effective in removing the septum, which does not seem to be associated with major or minor complications. Based on the existing evidence, it could be useful to improve the reproductive prognosis of patients with this type of malformation; individualizing the need for a second hysteroscopic touch-up.
