Reproductive and obstetrical outcomes after treatment of retained products of conception: hysteroscopic removal vs ultrasound-guided electric vacuum aspiration, a prospective follow-up study.

Background: Traditionally, curettage has been the most widely performed surgical intervention for removing retained products of conception. However, hysteroscopic removal is increasingly performed as an alternative because of the potentially lower risk of intrauterine adhesions and higher rates of complete removal. Until recently, studies comparing curettage with hysteroscopic removal regarding reproductive and obstetrical outcomes were limited, and data conflicting.

Procedural sedation and analgesia versus general anesthesia for hysteroscopic myomectomy (PROSECCO trial): A multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Background: Hysteroscopic resection is the first-choice treatment for symptomatic type 0 and 1 fibroids. Traditionally, this was performed under general anesthesia. Over the last decade, surgical procedures are increasingly being performed in an outpatient setting under procedural sedation and analgesia.

Operative hysteroscopy versus ultrasound-guided electric vacuum aspiration for removal of retained products of conception: A prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To compare intrauterine adhesion (IUA) formation after hysteroscopic removal (HR) of retained products of conception (RPOC) with IUA formation after ultrasound-guided electric vacuum aspiration (EVA) and externally validate the outcomes of an RCT.

Study Design: This prospective cohort study was conducted from April 2015 until June 2022 in 2 Dutch teaching hospitals and one Belgian university hospital. Women opting for EVA underwent the procedure as soon as possible.

Hysteroscopic morcellation vs. curettage for removal of retained products of conception: a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To study the comparison between hysteroscopic morcellation (HM) of retained products of conception (RPOC) with ultrasound (US)-guided electric vacuum aspiration in terms of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) formation, efficacy, and complications.

Design: A randomized controlled, nonblinded trial.

Setting: Three teaching hospitals and one university hospital from April 2015 to June 2022.

Quadruple torsion of the fallopian tube in an 18-year-old virgin: a rare twist.

In this report, we describe an 18-year-old nulliparous virgo, with no medical history, who presented herself at the emergency department with symptoms of lower abdominal pain and nausea with vomiting. On examination, an echogenic unilocular cyst with possible relation to the right ovary was found. The working diagnosis was an ovarian torsion.

Spontaneous adrenal haemorrhage in early pregnancy.

A 32-year-old primigravida presented at our emergency room at 6 weeks of gestation with acute severe right upper quadrant abdominal pain, radiating to the right flank. Vital signs were stable. Abdominal ultrasound showed a round inhomogeneous mass of 10 cm diameter behind the right kidney, suspected for adrenal haemorrhage.

Embolism of air and gas in hysteroscopic procedures: pathophysiology and implication for daily practice.

Hysteroscopic surgery has gained in popularity and has become the method of choice for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions of intrauterine pathology. Advantages consist of short operating time, rapid postoperative recovery, and low morbidity. However, there are concerns about the potential serious complications that can occur, such as venous air and gas embolism.
