Hysteroscopic treatment of retained placental tissue: a case report

AbstractRetained placenta tissue is a rare condition, and its diagnosis and surgical treatment are often challenging. Conventionally, the surgical management of such cases is largely performed using blind dilation and curettage. Our case demonstrates that the successful complete removal of retained placental tissues can be achieved with operative hysteroscopy with minimal use of electrosurgery in order to minimize the short- and long-term complications. This was achieved using the loop of the bipolar resectoscope as a curette performing cold dissection.
