Single-Port Perforated Intrauterine Device Removal With a Transabdominal Hysteroscope

Listen to this summary

The authors explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a single-port technique using a transabdominal hysteroscope for the removal of perforated intrauterine devices (IUDs), aiming to provide a minimally invasive alternative to traditional multi-port laparoscopic methods. They demonstrate that this approach can be suitable for patients without complications, offering a potentially less painful and quicker recovery option. The study suggests that this technique should be considered as a first-line option for most cases of perforated IUDs.
