ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different surgical methods to remove a growth in the uterus called a uterine septum. The goal is to find out if using scissors without electricity (electrosurgery) is better than using a type of surgery that involves electricity for this procedure. Researchers will look at important details such as how long the surgery takes, any complications that may arise, and whether patients might need additional treatments afterward.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be women aged 20 to 44 who have a uterine septum larger than 1.0 cm, confirmed through special imaging tests. However, those with certain conditions, like specific types of fibroids or other uterine issues, cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo one of the two surgical methods being compared, and the researchers will carefully monitor your recovery and any side effects. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you meet the criteria and are interested, you might have the opportunity to help advance medical knowledge in this area.
