Lin's Self-Retaining Abdominal Ultrasound Probe Method for Hands-Free Ultrasound-Guided Hysteroscopic Procedures: A Single-Operator Study.

Objectives: Conventionally, an assistant would be required to hold the ultrasound probe during therapeutic hysteroscopy. To manage without a skilled assistant, Lin developed a self-retaining hands-free probe method that can be used to hold an abdominal ultrasound probe. One can now perform ultrasound-guided hysteroscopic procedures single-handedly.

The Association between Placenta Implantation at Prior Myomectomy Locations and Perinatal Outcomes in Pregnant Women Who Previously Underwent One-Step Hysteroscopic Myomectomy.

Objectives: There are no data describing the correlation between placenta implantation at prior myomectomy locations and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women after transcervical resection myomectomy (TCR-M). The aim of the study is to investigate the correlations between placenta implantation at prior myomectomy locations and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women who had previously undergone TCR-M.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study.

Twelve-year experience of office-setting removal of lost intrauterine devices in place for more than 10 years.

We investigated the effectiveness of removing lost intrauterine devices (IUDs) that had been in place for over 10 years, using Lin's biopsy grasper in an office setting. This single-centre, retrospective study conducted between March 2006 and June 2018 included 49 women who had had an IUD in place for contraception for more than 10 years and who underwent removal of the lost IUD using Lin's biopsy grasper under transabdominal sonography without use of a tenaculum, anaesthesia and analgesia, after dilation of the cervical os and hysteroscopy. The women's median age was 52 years (range 34-80 years) and the median duration of insertion was 17 years (range 10-43 years).

Clinical application of Lin's biopsy grasper for intrauterine targeted biopsy and polypectomy during office hysteroscopy.

Objective: Hysteroscopy has widely been used for diagnosis of the uterine cavity; however, target biopsy has often been difficult in part to the inherent limitations of ancillary instruments. Lin's biopsy grasper was specifically designed to work in conjunction with a flexible hysteroscope to obtain intrauterine biopsy under transabdominal sonography. Herein, we share our clinical experience in the management of endometrial abnormalities with the use of Lin's biopsy grasper during office-based hysteroscopy.

Hysteroscopic Transcervical Resection for Atypical Polypoid Adenomyoma of the Uterus: A Valid, Fertility-Preserving Option.

Study Objective: To evaluate hysteroscopic transcervical resection (TCR) for atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the uterus (APA).

Design: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting: Single tertiary hospital.

Hysteroscopic Curettage Using the Lin Snare and Y Adaptor: A Review of 300 Cases.

Study: To present a de novo technique of endometrial sampling - hysteroscopic curettage.

Objective: Aim to describe this new procedure and study its effectiveness and accuracy.

Design: Prospective study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2).

Two cases of postmyomectomy pseudoaneurysm treated by transarterial embolization.

Pseudoaneurysm resulting from hysteroscopic myomectomy is a rare clinical situation, and interventional radiologists are not traditionally involved in the management. To our knowledge, endovascular treatment of a pseudoaneurysm resulting from hysteroscopic myomectomy has not yet been reported in the English-language literature. Here, two such cases are reported, including one of a woman who later became pregnant.

Modified sonohysterography immediately after hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of submucous myoma.

Study Objective: To report a new, convenient, inexpensive, office-based examination to evaluate submucous myomas before hysteroscopic myomectomy.

Design: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting: University-affiliated teaching hospital.
