Abstract:
The authors propose a new classification of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) to facilitate understanding for both the gynecologist and the patient, documenting the location and characteristics of the adhesions in a single image. This tool significantly improves surgical planning and patient outcomes in the treatment of intrauterine adhesions. In addition, having a simple and consistent method of describing IUAs will facilitate longitudinal studies tracking the outcomes of various surgical techniques, adhesion barriers and the impact of hormonal treatment. The proposed new classification system may represent a significant advancement in the field of gynecology. Its adoption may facilitate and simplify the representation of intrauterine adhesion sites, allowing for better communication between doctors and more effective management of intrauterine adhesions.
