Introduction: This was a single-center pilot study that sought to describe an innovative use of 4DryField® PH (premix) for preventing the recurrence of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in patients with Asherman's syndrome (AS).
Material And Methods: Twenty-three patients with AS were enrolled and 20 were randomized (1:1 ratio) to intrauterine application of 4DryField® PH ( = 10) or Hyalobarrier gel ( = 10) in a single-blind manner. We evaluated IUAs (American Fertility Society [AFS] score) during initial hysteroscopy and second-look hysteroscopy one month later.
Study Question: Do the perinatal outcomes of patients following hysteroscopic treatment for Asherman syndrome (AS) differ from that of a control population?
Summary Answer: Perinatal complications including placental issues, high blood loss, and prematurity in women after treatment for AS should be considered as moderate to high risk, especially in patients who have undergone more than one hysteroscopy (HS) or repeated postpartum instrumental revisions of the uterine cavity (Dilation and Curettage; D&C).
What Is Known Already: The detrimental impact of AS on obstetrics outcomes is commonly recognized. However, prospective studies evaluating perinatal/neonatal outcomes in women with AS history are sparse, and the characteristics accounting for the respective morbidity of AS patients remain to be elucidated.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and reproductive outcomes of patients treated with myomectomy who were histologically diagnosed with uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP).
Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with STUMP and underwent a myomectomy at our institution between October 2003 and October 2019 were identified. Variables of interest obtained from the institution's database included patient age, relevant medical history, pre-operative appearance of the tumor on ultrasound, parameters of the surgical procedure, histopathological analysis of the tumor, post-operative clinical course, and course of follow-up, including reinterventions and fertility outcomes.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the appropriate surgical treatment of adenomyosis and its impact on reproductive outcomes.
Conclusion: Patients with adenomyosis and fibroids may show a lower pregnancy rate and higher miscarriage rate than healthy individuals. However, there is no standard protocol for their optimal treatment, particularly in pregnancy-seeking or infertile women.
Objective: The aim of this study is to report a case of intramyometrial gravidity after hysteroscopic resection of retained products of conception.
Case Report: We report the case of a 35-year old woman who presented at 7 weeks gestation with abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa, having had caesaren section 6 months ago. She underwent hysteroscopic resection of retained products of conception 6 weeks after casesarean section.
