Intrauterine Adhesions (IUAs) are characterized by endometrial damage due to endometritis or curettage. Currently, the gold standard for IUA treatment is hysteroscopy, which enables the dissolution of IUA through mechanical or electrosurgical energy. Common strategies to prevent recurrence include the insertion of a balloon catheter or IUD in the uterus.

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) may lead to abnormal menstruation, infertility, and pregnancy-related complications. Hysteroscopic separation is the gold standard treatment for IUA and can be performed using a variety of instruments and methods, including cold scissors and electrotomy. However, it is unclear which method is more effective for relieving IUA, restoring uterine anatomy, and improving the pregnancy rate in women of childbearing age.

Hysteroscopy is an endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic method traditionally performed under general anesthesia but increasingly under local anesthesia. Today, it is considered the gold standard in gynecology. This minimally invasive procedure allows for a detailed assessment of the uterine cavity's interior and the removal of abnormal changes within it and is applicable to patients of all ages.

Article Synopsis
  • Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), also known as Asherman's syndrome, occur due to damage to the endometrial layer, often from medical procedures, leading to fibrous tissue formation that can block the uterine cavity or cervical canal.
  • Diagnosis of IUA is best performed through hysteroscopy, but predicting future live birth rates remains uncertain.
  • New research on the underlying causes of IUA, including inflammation, cellular balance issues, autophagy defects, and ferroptosis, is essential for developing improved treatment strategies.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are chronic gynecological conditions that significantly impact women's quality of life, leading to symptoms such as pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. Despite ongoing research, a definitive cure for these conditions remains elusive, and treatment often focuses on managing symptoms. Minimally invasive surgery is considered the gold standard for surgical management, but novel surgical techniques are continuously being developed to enhance outcomes.
