The Use of an Intrauterine Balloon in Preventing Adhesion Recurrence After Hysteroscopic Adhesiolysis: a Feasibility Study.
Patients suffering of subfertility as a consequence of intrauterine adhesions could be treated with hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Adhesion recurrence may occur postoperative. An intrauterine balloon, inserted after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, may prevent adhesion reformation. A Foley catheter can serve for this purpose, but its not ideal. COOK medical® developed a hearth shaped intrauterine balloon to reduce bleeding after intrauterine surgery. We aimed to perform a pilot study of 10 procedures with insertion of a hearth shaped intrauterine balloon as antiadhesion method subsequent to a hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, to study its feasibility in terms of surgeon's and patient's experience.
