Hysteroscopic Management of Asherman's Syndrome: Special Issue Report on Uterine Surgery in the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology

Publication date: Available online 9 October 2017 Source:Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology Author(s): Zaraq Khan, Jeffrey M. Goldberg In developed countries, Asherman's Syndrome is almost always the result of a prior intrauterine operative trauma. This is often asymptomatic but may result in hypo- or amenorrhea and can contribute to infertility and pregnancy complications. We will review their etiology, clinical implications, and the systems which have been proposed to classify their extent. The numerous methods reported for performing lysis of intrauterine adhesions will be summarized along with the clinical results. Current strategies to prevent recurrence of intrauterine adhesions have not been conclusively shown to be clinically effective but the potential for endometrial regeneration using stem cells is an exciting modality under investigation.
