The objective of this study is to determine if the use of scissors without electrosurgery is superior to bipolar electrosurgery for resection of uterine septum. The investigators will be comparing procedure-level variables such as operative time, complications, and need for additional procedures.
This study is being done to compare two different surgical techniques that can be used to remove the uterine septum. At Northwestern, both procedures are done routinely. Surgeon preference and comfort dictates which is offered. Both techniques are thought to achieve the same goal of removing the participants septum with a procedure called a hysteroscopy in which the participants are taken to the operating room and a scope with a camera is inserted inside their uterus while it is expanded with sterile water. The difference is the instrument used to remove the septum. One technique uses scissors…
