uterine perforation/nausea

BACKGROUND By law, elective terminations of pregnancy are not performed in U.S. military institutions. However, in the civilian sector, more than a million abortions are performed each year, some of which are on military beneficiaries. Although complications are relatively rare, patients not

In a study to assess the efficacy of and safety of vacuum aspiration syringe in the management of incomplete abortion 300 patients with non septic abortion were evacuated by the method in the ward. A control group 285 patients was evacuated in theatre by sharp currettage. All patients were followed

BACKGROUND Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a significant health problem in premenopausal women; it can reduce their quality of life and cause anaemia. First-line therapy has traditionally been medical therapy but this is frequently ineffective. On the other hand, hysterectomy is obviously 100%

OBJECTIVE Hysteroscopy is an effective method for examining the uterine cavity but has some limitations, including the occasional need for cervical dilatation. Misoprostol is routinely used for cervical dilatation in various procedures but has not gained wide acceptance for use before

A woman with diagnosis of missed abortion had complications of uterine perforation during dilatation and curettage (D&C). Under laparoscopic guidance the uterus was emptied of the remains of fetal tissue. An opening on the uterus was sutured laparoscopically. There was a superficial tear on the

Intrauterine device (IUD) is a popular long-acting reversible contraceptive device with an estimated rate of use of about 5.3%. It is highly effective but not without complications, one of which is uterine perforation. The patient was a 32-year-old female who presented with nausea, vomiting and

OBJECTIVE To estimate the benefits and harms of misoprostol use for cervical dilation in patients undergoing operative hysteroscopy. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (from inception to February 2011). We also searched trial registries, other

Objective: The study objective is to evaluate the benefits of using ultrasound guidance during insertion of Intrauterine device IUD in women with retroverted flexed RVF uteri. Study design:

OBJECTIVE The study aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of 200 and 400 µg of oral misoprostol for cervical priming before hysteroscopy. METHODS A double-blinded randomized study included 70 patients scheduled for hysteroscopy in a Lebanese University Hospital. Two dosages of oral

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to assess patient acceptability and satisfaction with medical treatment (vaginal misoprostol) of non-viable first trimester pregnancy. METHODS A total of 64 women, treated with vaginal misoprostol for non-viable first trimester pregnancy between October

The objective of this prospective randomized placebo-controlled study was to determine the efficacy of sublingual misoprostol in facilitating cervical dilatation before surgical abortion in first trimester pregnancy. Sixty healthy pregnant women between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation opting for

BACKGROUND Cervical priming before first-trimester surgical abortion is recommended in certain groups of women. Nitric oxide (NO) donors induce cervical ripening without uterine contractions, but the efficacy and side effects are of concern. OBJECTIVE To evaluate NO donors for cervical ripening
