Iliopsoas abscess: an unexpected sequela of dilation and evacuation.

Objective: This study aimed to report the case of a patient who developed an iliopsoas abscess after a dilation and evacuation for a midtrimester fetal demise.

Materials And Methods: This is a case report of a 35-year-old woman who underwent a dilation and evacuation at 17 weeks' gestation because of a preterm premature rupture of membranes and fetal demise. Four days later, she presented with fevers, chills, malaise, and right lower back, hip, and thigh pain.

Retained viable single intrauterine pregnancy after vacuum aspiration for a dichorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancy.

Background: Retained viable intrauterine pregnancy is an infrequent complication of vacuum aspiration. We report a case of a retained single intrauterine pregnancy after an elective vacuum aspiration of a dichorionic-diamniotic twin gestation.

Case: A patient presented to the emergency department reporting vaginal spotting, breast engorgement, and lower abdominal cramping for the previous 2 weeks.

Hysteroscopic tubal occlusion: sterilization after failed laparoscopic or abdominal approaches.

Background: When tubal ligations cannot be performed because of dense postoperative adhesions, options for female sterilization are very limited. As the incidence of cesarean delivery rises and the occurrence of peritubal adhesions increases, tubal ligation using abdominal or laparoscopic surgery may become increasingly technically difficult. Hysteroscopic tubal occlusion provides a method of permanent sterilization when an abdominal or laparoscopic approach is unsuccessful.
