Hysteroscopic treatment of cesarean scar defect.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effect of hysteroscopic surgery on the outcomes of obstetrics and gynecology among patients with cesarean section diverticulum.

METHODS

Ninety-nine infertile patients with cesarean section diverticulum received hysteroscopic treatment and were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were followed for 1 year.

RESULTS

The study included ninety-nine symptomatic patients with cesarean section diverticulum. After surgery, the menstrual periods of patients were improved from 11.15 ± 4.44 to 7.69 ± 2.85 days. Forty-seven (47/99) women became pregnant after surgery. The number of patients who became pregnant with an anteflexion uterus after hysteroscopic surgery is 32 (32/57), and the number of women who became pregnant with a retroflexion uterus is 15 (15/42).

CONCLUSION

Hysteroscopic surgery could improve the PCSD-associated prolonged menstrual bleeding, and satisfactory obstetrical outcomes could be achieved by the surgery treatment in women with cesarean defect.
