Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Isthmoceles are uterine scar defects, often linked to cesarean delivery scars, potentially causing symptoms like abnormal bleeding and infertility.
  • Etiopathogenesis involves factors such as incision depth, suturing techniques, and wound healing.
  • Treatment aims to alleviate symptoms, with hysteroscopy being one of several surgical options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To showcase a surgical hysteroscopy technique for isthmocele treatment.
  • To detail the application of standard-size or mini resectoscopes for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical hysteroscopy performed using 26 Fr and 16 Fr continuous-flow resectoscopes under general anesthesia.
  • Technique involves resecting fibrotic and inflamed tissue from the isthmic pouch and surrounding areas.
  • Utilized slides, pictures, and video for a step-by-step demonstration.

Main Results:

  • The study successfully demonstrated the hysteroscopic technique in 3 cases of isthmocele.
  • The described method involves precise resection of pathological tissue to reach the myometrium.
  • Hysteroscopic hystmoplasty is considered safe and effective for isthmoceles with specific depth and myometrial thickness criteria.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical hysteroscopy is a viable approach for treating symptomatic isthmoceles, particularly those with adequate myometrial thickness.
  • The technique requires careful execution to manage risks, such as potential bladder injury.
  • Alternative laparoscopic or vaginal repairs may be considered for cases with thin myometrium (<3 mm).
