'''Metroplasty''' (also called '''Strassman metroplasty,''' '''uteroplasty''' or '''hysteroplasty''') is a reconstructive surgery used to repair congenital anomalies of the uterus, including septate uterus and bicornuate uterus. The surgery entails removing the abnormal tissue that separates the cornua of the uterus, then using several layers of stitches to create a normal shape.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Williams Gynecology|veditors=Hoffman BL, Schorge JO, Bradshaw KD, Halvorson LM, Schaffer JI, Corton MM|edition=3|chapter=Anatomic Disorders}}</ref>
