Abstract EN
Purpose.
Re-adhesion rates following hysteroscopic adhesiolysis have remained high.
Accordingly, we present a case involving temporary placement of an intrauterine silicone plate to prevent re-adhesions following hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in a 36-year-old woman with Asherman syndrome.
Methods.
After hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, a silicone plate molded to the uterine cavity’s shape was inserted into the uterine cavity and left in place for 1 month.
Results.
The patient had a history of endometrial curettage for endometrial polyps.
After the procedure, she developed amenorrhea and experienced infertility for 5 years despite four cycles of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
Following admission to our hospital, hysteroscopic examination showed a wide area of intrauterine adhesions for which hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and silicone plate insertion were performed.
The silicone plate was removed after 1 month.
No intrauterine adhesions were observed during the subsequent hysteroscopic examination.
After a thawed embryo transfer, the patient became pregnant and delivered a healthy baby.
Conclusions.
A silicon plate may be considered a useful tool for preventing re-adhesion following hysteroscopic adhesiolysis without serious complications.
