OBJECTIVE	This study aims to determine the difference between transcervical resection of septum ( TCRS ) and transcervical incision of septum ( TCIS ) in the improvement of reproductive prognosis .
METHODS	Women with uterine septum in the Affiliated Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were retrospectively analyzed .
METHODS	A statistical method was used according to operative time , postoperative menstruation , postoperative pregnancy rate , postoperative term delivery rate , and so on .
RESULTS	Compared with TCRS , the TCIS method decreased operative time , blood loss , and consumption of uterus distension medium .
RESULTS	No statistical difference was observed in operative complications between the two methods .
RESULTS	After TCIS , the incidence of uterine adhesion was low and the degree of endometrial epithelialisation was high by hysteroscopy review .
RESULTS	No statistical difference was observed in residual septum after the operation .
RESULTS	The total pregnancy rate after TCIS was higher than that of TCRS .
RESULTS	However , no statistical difference was observed in early and late pregnancy loss rates , preterm birth rate , and term birth rate .
CONCLUSIONS	TCIS exhibits advantages of decreasing operative time , blood loss , and consumption of uterus distension medium .
CONCLUSIONS	TCIS can reduce the incidence of uterine adhesion and can promote endometrial epithelialisation , which are the key factors to increase pregnancy rate after operation .
