What causes septum resecution to fail & how to prevent it?

[Guest guest]

Ladies,

Just wanted to test my " theories " to see if I'm thinking along the right

lines or not. Septum resection can fail due to:

a) failure of the doc to cut up far enough (due to lack of experience,

improper training, etc?)

the tissue " falls back " and re-fuses if it's a large septum, therefore use

of a balloon with large septums is beneficial?

Is this right?

Yes, that's right....those two and a combination of those two. If a

surgeon is too cautious with his cutting, then it is more likely to

fall back down.

My first surgery (the one that failed), I did not have a balloon and

my septum was so wide, that the weight of it made it fall back down.

So then it fuses together again.

The second time I had no laprascope, only the hysteroscope. I did

have to wear a balloon for a week after surgery. That seemed to do

the trick because the stupid thing is gone now.

Don't worry; most people only have to have it done once!
