Abstract
A septate uterus is a müllerian anomaly that is commonly encountered during an evaluation for infertility or adverse pregnancy outcome. This anomaly is the most common of the müllerian anomalies, though the true prevalence is unknown because in many women, this anomaly is asymptomatic. Many aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of septate uteri are debated among experts including what defines a uterine septum, whether the septum causes abnormal reproductive outcomes, whether surgical treatment of the septum improves reproductive outcomes, and what technique is best for septum correction. In this chapter, these topics will be reviewed to provide a foundation for how to diagnose and manage patients with a uterine septum.
