    The aim of the authors is to assess the potentialities and the application of hysteroscopy for diagnosis and treatment in cases of foreign body in the uterine cavity. Twenty eight women with different kinds of foreign bodies are included in the research: 17 patients with "lost" IUD in utero after failed attempts for blind extraction; 4 cases with unresorbed sutures after cesarean section; 1 case of uterine tamponade, incorporated in the uterine cesarean suture; 5 cases of residual tissue after interrupted pregnancies and unsuccessful D&C. The clinical symptoms, the hysteroscopic findings, the used equipment, the complications and the postoperative results are described. A conclusion is made about the advantages of the hysteroscopy over the "blind" extraction and, for this reason, that hysteroscopy should be the method of choice for diagnosis and treatment in case of corpus alienum in the uterus.

    Histology of the Uterus01:19

    Histology of the Uterus

    The uterine wall consists of three histological layers: the perimetrium, myometrium, and endometrium. The outermost perimetrium is a thin, serous membrane connected with the broad ligament on the sides, which helps anchor the uterus in the pelvic cavity. The thickest layer, myometrium, is mainly made up of smooth muscle tissue bundles. Its contractions are vital in facilitating the expulsion of the uterine lining, fetus, and placenta during menstruation and childbirth.
    The endometrium is the...

    Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

    Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

    Uterus and Cervix

    The uterus, commonly called the womb, is a vital reproductive organ in females designed to provide a nurturing environment for the implantation and growth of an embryo. It is shaped like a hollow pear and positioned between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The uterus's structure allows it to support and protect a developing fetus throughout pregnancy.
    The uterus is securely anchored within the pelvic cavity by paired broad ligaments on either side. It is further stabilized by three pairs of...
    Uterine Tubes01:16

    Uterine Tubes

    The uterine or fallopian tubes function as the conduit through which oocytes travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Each fallopian tube measures approximately 10 to 13 cm long and is anatomically divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and interstitial part (or intramural segment). The infundibulum is characterized by its funnel shape and features extensions called fimbriae which reach towards the peritoneal cavity. These fimbriae play a critical role during ovulation as they extend...

    Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...
