- The study looks at how often placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) happens in pregnancies after women have undergone a specific treatment for a condition called Asherman syndrome (AS).
- Out of 355 patients treated for AS, 97 got pregnant beyond the first trimester, and 23.7% of them had PAS, with previous cesarean deliveries being a significant risk factor.
- Many patients with PAS faced serious complications, like needing a cesarean hysterectomy or experiencing uterine rupture, highlighting the need for better ways to diagnose and predict PAS in these pregnancies.
Objective: Review the menstrual and obstetric outcomes among Asherman syndrome patients when stratified by disease severity.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: A community teaching hospital affiliated with a large academic medical center.
Minimally invasive management of retained products of conception and the adherent placenta.
Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol

Purpose Of Review: Retained products of conception (POC) may occur independently or as a consequence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Managing these conditions depends on the clinical scenario, and in some cases, can involve the use of minimally invasive techniques. This review presents the role of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy in the treatment of retained POC and the adherent placenta.

Summary Answer: EMT measurements may not be associated with successful clinical pregnancy among AS patients undergoing IVF.
What Is Known Already: Clinical pregnancy rate after IVF is significantly lower in patients with a thin endometrium, defined as a maximum EMT of <7 mm. However, AS patients often have a thin EMT measurement due to intrauterine scarring, with a paucity of data and no guidance on what EMT cutoff is appropriate when planning an ET among these patients.
