About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the impact of hysteroscopic transcervical resection of the septum (TCRS) on fertility in infertile women without recurrent miscarriage, primarily assessing its effect on subsequent IVF-ET outcomes. The research attempts to answer: for infertile women with uterine septum planning to undergo IVF/ICSI (excluding preimplantation genetic diagnosis), does TCRS improve pregnancy outcomes (such as live birth rate, pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, etc.) compared to non-surgical treatment (conservative observation), and to clarify the clinical value and safety of this surgical intervention.
