Hi - I'm in Ottawa and also have an SU, unresected.

Regarding dx, many women are misdiagnosed via only mri, the only

definitive way to differentiate between SU and BU is to do a lap/hyst.

That said, looks like your ob is willing to perform the lap/hyst so

obviously she or he will make the final dx just before surgery if you

do indeed have an SU. I had a lap/hyst and an MRI to dx my SU. As it

happens the mri did correctly dx my MA.

I haven't had my septum removed, so can't add too much on that.

Generally I know that the women on this group really encourage women

to find an RE to do the surgery. I had an RE do my surgery. I'm a

little concerned regarding your gyn's comments re: scissors. You may

want to post a general question regarding the surgical procedure. As

far as I understood, septums are typically removed via laser during a

lap/hyst??? An issue to consider is scar tissue as residual scar

tissue can further contribute to fertility issues.

Do you live in a rural area, is that why access to an RE is a problem?

Or is it more a question of how long it would take to see an RE after

a referral? I would suggest that you get a referral asap in any case,

they are the real expects on both fertility issues and MAs.

Good luck!

Hi again,

I suggest you check the files section of this group, particularly

the SeptoplastyQs.doc file, you may find some quite useful

information. As I mentionned in my first post, I really rec'd you post

a general question to the group re: having a hyst to remove septum

with microscissors, as I really don't know how common or not this type

of procedure is.

Cheers,

a
