The role of hysteroscopy in management of retained products of conception

Video abstract summary This video reviews the role of hysteroscopy in management of retained products of conception. We begin with reviewing standard methods for management of retained products and further discuss indications for hysteroscopic management. We visually present three cases that demonstrate different hysteroscopic techniques including intrauterine tissue extraction and hysteroscopic resection with and without use of electrosurgery. The first case reviews retained products in the setting of uterine anomaly and prior intrauterine adhesions. We then review a case of chronic and invasive retained products requiring deep resection. Finally, we review a case of retained placenta following term delivery removed by cold loop resectoscope. During these cases, we review key points and tips for a successful hysteroscopy.
