Endoscopic management of a case of 'complete septate uterus with unilateral haematometra'
Endoscopy and ultrasound was used to diagnose a 13 year old virgin girl who presented with dysmenorrhoea and suspected right side adnexal tumescence. The girl was found to have a complete septate uterus with non-communicating right hemicavity and haematometra, an exceptional type of Mullerian anomaly. After pretreatment with buserelin, hysteroscopic metroplasty was successfully performed.

Some researchers claim that IVF/ET is more efficient on the basis of the 'fertilization evidence', while others prefer the GIFT technique, stressing that as its results are clearly so much better that it should be used in all cases.
Role of leuprolide acetate depot in hysteroscopic surgery: a controlled study.
Objective To evaluate leuprolide acetate (LA) depot (Enantone Depot, Takeda, Italy) when administered preoperatively in hysteroscopic surgery. Design Prospective, comparative study. Setting University Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Patients One hundred ninety-three patients (114 pretreated with LA depot and 79 controls) who underwent hysteroscopic surgery for uterine septa (group A), submucous fibroids (group B), and abnormal uterine bleeding (group C).
