Which surgery is better for uterine septum? new trial aims to find out

NCT ID NCT06315582

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques for removing a uterine septum—a wall of tissue inside the uterus that can cause pregnancy complications. One method uses scissors without electricity, while the other uses a heated wire. Researchers will track surgery time, costs, and recovery in 40 women aged 20-44 to see which approach works best.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Hysteroscopic septoplasty (scissors without electrosurgery vs. bipolar electrosurgery)

What this could lead to

If one method proves superior, it could become the standard approach for uterine septum removal, reducing surgery time and complications.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Both techniques are already in use, so no major breakthrough is expected.
