Objective: To
assess achievement of hysteroscopic treatment for Asherman’s Syndrome(AS), also
called ‘intrauterine adhesions(IUAs) or Intrauterine synechiae’.
Method: Retrospectively,27
patients with AS were enrolled in our
study at ankara liv hospital between 2017-2019 . These patients were evaluated
with hysteroscopically then they had adhesiolysis at the same session.
Monopolar knife was used for adesiolysis and the operation was gone on until
adequate cavity enlargement was achieved. Intrauterine device (IUD) was placed
in the new occurred cavity and combined hormonal therapy(high dose estrogen and
progesteron) was given for two months. American Fertility Society
classification was used for scoring of IUAs.
After IUD was taken out, they were called and their menstrual pattern and fertility
status were learned. If their symptoms were recurred they were hysteroscopically
evaluated again.
Results: 27
patients were hysteroscopically diagnosed as AS . 15of them had reproductive
problems and other 12 patients had only
menstrual abnormality. 13 patients had pregnancy related curettage, 4 patients
had dilatation and curratage(D&C) for their menstrual problems. After hysteroscopic treatment, 6 of 12 patients
with only menstrual abnormality had normal menstual pattern, 2 of them did not have normal period but a little bit
better(from amenorrhoea to hypomenorrhoea). 8 of 15 infertile patients had
positive pregnancy test(live born:6,
spontaneous abortion:2). And also all these pregnant womens were
seconder infertile patients.
Conclusions: Hysteroscopy is the most useful technique for diagnosis and treatment for
Asherman’s Syndrome. And also, hysteroscopic procedure has positive effect on
pregnancy rate and menstrual regularity
