Hysteroscopic Septal Resection and Polypectomy: Optimizing the Uterine Environment
Uterine abnormalities like a septate uterus (a wall dividing the cavity) or endometrial polyps (small growths) can significantly interfere with embryo implantation and lead to recurrent miscarriages. At Aikya Fertility, we specialize in Hysteroscopic Septal Resection and Polypectomy—a minimally invasive "no-incision" procedure to clear the uterine cavity. By restoring the natural shape and health of the uterus, we create the ideal environment for a successful IVF Treatment or natural pregnancy.
About This Treatment
What you need to know
Restoring the Uterine Cavity
A uterine septum is a congenital condition that restricts the space available for a growing baby, while polyps act like "biological obstacles" to implantation. Unlike traditional surgery, hysteroscopy allows our specialists to enter the uterus through the natural opening (cervix). This means no external cuts, no scars, and a much faster recovery. At Aikya, we use 3D/4D Ultrasound to accurately map these abnormalities before the procedure at our J.P. Nagar or Raghuvanahalli Branch.
The Aikya Hysteroscopy Protocol: Step-by-Step
- Diagnostic Confirmation: Pre-surgical Dye Tube Testing (HSG) or ultrasound to confirm the septum or polyp location.
- Anesthesia: Performed under light general anesthesia or sedation for total comfort.
- Visualization: A thin, lighted camera (hysteroscope) is inserted through the cervix.
- Resection & Polypectomy: Using specialized micro-scissors or a resectoscope to precisely remove the septum or shave away the polyps without damaging the healthy uterine lining.
- Pathology Check: All removed polyps are sent to our Facilities for biopsy to ensure they are non-cancerous.
- Recovery: A short 2–4 hour observation period in our day-care suite before same-day discharge.
Precision Surgery & Implantation Success
At Aikya, we focus on "Endometrial Integrity." The health of your uterine lining (the endometrium) is vital for the success of IUI Treatment. Our surgeons use cold-knife or laser techniques to avoid thermal damage to the lining. If a septum is removed, the increased blood flow to the newly unified cavity significantly lowers the risk of future miscarriages. This meticulous approach to uterine health is why patients trust Why Aikya for their surgical needs.
