We present a case of retained placenta accreta treated by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation followed by hysteroscopic resection. The patient was diagnosed as submucosal myoma based on ultrasonography in local clinic. Pathologic examination of several pieces of tumor mass from the hysteroscopic procedure revealed necrotic chorionic villi with calcification. HIFU was performed using an ultrasound-guided HIFU tumor therapeutic system. The ultrasound machine had been used for real-time monitoring of the HIFU procedure. After HIFU treatment, no additional vaginal bleeding or complications were observed. A hysteroscopic resection was performed to remove ablated placental tissue 7 days later. No abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge was seen after the procedure. The patient was stable postoperatively. We proposed HIFU and applied additional hysteroscopic resection for a safe and effective method for treating retained placenta accreta to prevent complications from the remaining placental tissue and to improve fertility options.

Isthmoceles are defects related to Caesarean section (CS) scars, known to cause secondary infertility and interfere with in-vitro fertilization in women who have had Caesarean deliveries. The etiologies are multifactorial. Isthmoceles, similar to dehiscent CS scars, can be potential sites for ectopic pregnancies and abnormal placentation.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare cancer combining both carcinoma and sarcoma features, often resembling endometrial carcinoma, with a potential link to nulliparity (never having given birth) as a risk factor.
- A 55-year-old woman presented with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding and was diagnosed after surgery, revealing well-differentiated adenocarcinoma and osteosarcoma components, along with multiple positive immunohistochemical markers.
- Following a series of surgical interventions and treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient demonstrated no signs of tumor recurrence and had a disease-free survival of seven months as of July 2024.
This is the case of a 30-year-old nulliparous patient with a complete uterine septum, double cervix and non- obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum (Class U2bC2V1 according to the ESHRE/ESGE classification). The patient presented with severe dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea. Imaging revealed a complex Müllerian anomaly and hysteroscopic treatment was agreed.

This condition is typically associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis and is known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome or OHVIRA (Obstructed HemiVagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly) syndrome. The primary symptoms include dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain, which usually manifest after menarche due to haematocolpos in the obstructed hemivagina.
