No vaginal septum. Just two 'cervixes' or knowing this, one cervix divided by a septum.

Didelphyic uterus that was breech was a failed version. No big surprise.

On section she was found to have a complete septum running from fundus to cervix.

My question to the group is this. As I made my hysterotomy incision and spread it I had the septum divided as well. I closed the transverse incison until I got the septum, realigned the septum and then finished the closure. Was there anything else to do? Any ideas on risk of closing that side off and developing a hemotometra when she starts to mensturate again?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
