'''Metroplasty''' (also called '''Strassman metroplasty,''' '''uteroplasty''' or '''hysteroplasty''') is a [reconstructive surgery](/source/reconstructive_surgery) used to repair [congenital anomalies](/source/Uterine_malformation) of the [uterus](/source/uterus), including [septate uterus](/source/Uterine_septum) and [bicornuate uterus](/source/bicornuate_uterus). The surgery entails removing the abnormal tissue that separates the [cornua](/source/Uterine_horns) 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>
