TRAUMATIC INTRAUTERINE ADHESIONS. A REPORT OF 8 CASES WITH EMPHASIS ON THERAPY.

Abstract

Abstract 1. 1. Eight cases of traumatic intrauterine adhesions are reported. 2. 2. The condition is revealed most often by hysterography in patients with a history of curettage of a recently pregnant uterus or a history of repeated abortion. 3. 3. The treatment of fundal adhesions is principally by dilatation while that of complete isthmic atresia is by abdominal hysterotomy or hysterectomy. 4. 4. The prognosis for relief of menstrual disability is excellent but the prognosis for delivery of a living child is more guarded, though not hopeless.
