Objectives: the presented work studied the effect of uterine septum resection in patients with short and long septa on obstetric outcomes specially the abortion rates and preterm deliveries Subjects and methods: 100 hundred patients known to have uterine septum had been recruited to a private clinic in Benha city –Egypt and classified into two groups according to the length of septum, group A with short septum 2.5 cm, all patients subjected to hysterosopic resection of septa after counseling and signed informed consent. Results: The infertility rate was significantly lower in group b after surgery (39.47% vs 10.53%, P = .006). However, no significant difference was observed in the infertility rate between groups A and B. There were no significant differences in pregnancy rate, and preterm live births rate among the 2 groups (P >.05 for all). In Group A the change is only in the rate of term and preterm which was significant but abortion rate didnt differ, this was the group of the smalls septum 2.5cm resection associated with increase in fertility and decreased rates of abortions.
