UTERINE ABNORMALITIES: METROPLASTY / UNIFICATION

• Metroplasty is plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery on the uterus. The reproductive function of the uterus is to accept a fertilized ovum. The uterus is the organ where the embryo implants and develops throughout a pregnancy.

  The embryo implants into the endometrium, and derives nourishment from blood vessels which develop exclusively for this purpose. Uterine abnormalities can contribute to decreased fertilization, miscarriage, or pregnancy complications. Common uterine abnormalities requiring surgical treatment include polyps, scarring, fibroids and septums.

  Many of these abnormalities can be treated using hysteroscopy and/or laparoscopy, but some may require more extensive surgery depending on the patient's condition. Uterine fibroids are very common among women of reproductive age and not all fibroids need to be removed in order to achieve a successful pregnancy.
