A comprehensive review of Asherman's syndrome: causes, symptoms and treatment options.

TL;DR: Increased awareness of the symptoms suggestive of intrauterine adhesive disease, as well as recognition of common causes and preceding events, is crucial for early diagnosis, patient counselling and treatment.

Intrauterine adhesions after hysteroscopic treatment for retained products of conception: what are the risk factors?

TL;DR: Hysteroscopic treatment for RPOC had a 3.6% incidence of severe intrauterine adhesions formation in this descriptive series, suggesting women with RPOC occurring after delivery by cesarean section are particularly at risk for development of IUA.

Intrauterine Morcellator Devices: The Icon of Hysteroscopic Future or Merely a Marketing Image? A Systematic Review Regarding Safety, Efficacy, Advantages, and Contraindications

TL;DR: The available evidence allows us to consider IUM devices as a safe, effective, and cost-effective tool for the removal of intrauterine lesions such as polyps, myomas (type 0 and type 1), and placental remnants.

Hysteroscopic Morcellation Versus Loop Resection for Removal of Placental Remnants: A Randomized Trial.

TL;DR: Hysteroscopic morcellation is a faster alternative than loop resection and both techniques are safe and show high rates of complete removal and tissue availability and low rates of de novo intrauterine adhesions.

Asherman syndrome—one century later

TL;DR: The management of moderate to severe disease still poses a challenge, and the prognosis of severe disease remains poor, so close antenatal surveillance and monitoring are necessary for women who conceive after treatment.

Complications of hysteroscopy: a prospective, multicenter study.

TL;DR: Diagnostic hysteroscopic procedures had very low complication rates, so are safe procedures with which to evaluate intrauterine pathology, and Operative hysteroscopic operations were more risky, but the removal of polyps had a very high complication rate.

Management of miscarriage: expectant, medical, or surgical? Results of randomised controlled trial (miscarriage treatment (MIST) trial)

TL;DR: The incidence of gynaecological infection after surgical, expectant, and medical management of first trimester miscarriage is low, and no evidence exists of a difference by the method of management, but significantly more unplanned admissions and unplanned surgical curettage occurred after expectant management and medicalManagement.

Prevalence of Asherman's syndrome after secondary removal of placental remnants or a repeat curettage for incomplete abortion.

TL;DR: Based on findings, hysteroscopy is recommended only in those patients who develop menstrual disorders, either after secondary intervention for placental remnants after delivery or after a repeat curettage, and risk factors associated with the presence of intrauterine adhesions are evaluated.

A randomized controlled trial comparing medical and expectant management of first trimester miscarriage

TL;DR: Medical management using 600 microg misoprostol vaginally is more effective than expectant management of early pregnancy failure and patient acceptability was superior to expectants management.
