Abstract:   (10450 Views)
A 29 year old woman, whose third C/S was applied seven months ago without any complication admitted to our hospital for contraception with an intrauterine device. After pelvic examination a bird, which was lying from cervicovesical junction to posterior fornix was detected. A vaginal approach was applied to remove the bread from the cervix and cervical dilatation with Hegar dictators was performed for potential haematometria formation. After cervical dilatation, hysteroscopy was applied for probable intrauterine adhesions and no adhesion was detected. To the author’s knowledge, intraabdominal postoperative adhesions may play a role for small bowel obstruction, pelvic pain, and infertility that require repeating operative procedures. Haematometria, infertility and cervical stenosis may be a result of cervical brid which may be a complication of C/S. As we did not detect any intrauterine adhesion, removing the cervical brid and dilatation of cervix with Hegar dilatators was curative.
