Endometrium sparing technique during hysteroscopic myomectomy

Intrauterine adhesion formation is a possible complication of hysteroscopic myomectomy, especially in the presence of submucosal myomas on the opposing surfaces. Various approaches have been proposed to reduce postoperative intrauterine adhesions after operative hysteroscopy, such as intrauterine device (IUD), Foley catheter, and Malecot catheter. The described techniques of hysteroscopic myomectomy with morcellation or resection remove the endometrial layer covering the myoma. A technique to spare the endometrial layer may prove beneficial in reducing intrauterine adhesion formation.
