摘要
Twelve consecutive patients with total corporal synechiae due to tuberculosis were reviewed in terms of intrauterine adhesion re-formation rate following hysteroscopic surgery. All patients presented with secondary amenorrhoea and infertility, The diagnosis was based on a 'glove finger appearance' at hysterosalpingography and classical laparoscopic and tubal biopsy findings. Intrauterine synechiae re-formation was assessed by postoperatire hysterosalpingograms performed 3-4 months after the procedure. The 12 patients underwent 15 attempts for hysteroscopic lysis of total corporal synechiae. Three perforations occurred and all were managed with laparoscopic extracorporal suturing, Ultimately, adequate uterine cavity was obtained in all cases. Total intracorporal synechiae recurred in all patients at control postoperative hysterosalpingograms. We conclude that total corporal synechiae caused by tuberculosis, unlike other causes, carry a poor prognosis following hysteroscopic lysis, Surrogacy may be the only option for fertility in such couples.
