Intrauterine sinechia: features of surgical treatment and prevention of recurrence

Abstract

The article is devoted to the issues of surgical treatment and prevention of recurrence of intrauterine sinechia (IUS) and its severe condition Asherman syndrome. The topicality of the IUS is characterized by a high incidence of infertility, common miscarriage, amenorrhea and hypomenstrual syndrome. The article describes the principles for management of patients with IUS, the features of surgical treatment and the prevention of recurrence of the disease. The authors present their own clinical data summarizing the experience in treating 64 women with IUS. All patients underwent a hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. In the postoperative period, 48 women (group 1) received an adhesion barrier based on hyaluronic acid and carboxymethylcellulose – Antiadhesin injected into the cavity of the uterus. 16 women (control group 2) did not receive Antiadgesin. The study showed that significantly fewer relapses and a significant increase in commenced pregnancy were detected among patients in group 1. As can be seen from the above, not only the careful and complete dissection of the adhesions, but also the active postoperative rehabilitation period, which includes the prevention of relapsing adhesiogenesis using intrauterine injections of adhesion barriers, is crucial for the comprehensive treatment of patients with IUS.
