Definition of uterine shape in this study. The shapes of the septate uteri were classified using the ESHRE/ESGE classification for uterine anomalies and further classified based on the narrowness or broadness of the septum. (A) (B) Septate uterus with a partial septum classified as U2a (C)(D) Septate uterus with a complete septum classified as U2b (E)(F) Bicorporeal septate uterus classified as U3c. The uterus in the left row has a narrow septum (A, C, and E). In contrast, the uterus in the right row has a broad septum (B, D, and F). We preferred hysteroscopic metroplasty (transcervical metroplasty, TCM) for the shapes depicted in panels A and C, and abdominal metroplasty (ABM) for the shapes shown in panels B, D, E, and F.
