A Novel Ultrasound‐Guided Technique for Hysteroscopic Adhesiolysis in High‐Risk Patients
2019
: Hysteroscopy is a common gynecologic surgical procedure. Certain diagnoses, notably intrauterine adhesions and cervical stenosis, make hysteroscopy more complicated because of an increased likelihood of complications. Three patients, 1 with cervical stenosis and 2 with Asherman syndrome, underwent ultrasound (US)-guided adhesiolysis. Access to the uterine cavity was obtained by either direct balloon-aided dilation or the US-guided Seldinger technique, followed by balloon-aided dilation to enter the endometrial cavity and disrupt intrauterine/intracervical adhesions. In this case series, we describe a novel approach of using US-guided balloon dilation to safely and effectively treat intrauterine adhesions and to decrease the risk of perforation.
