Core Tip

Core Tip: Adhesion dissection under laparoscopic monitoring in Asherman's syndrome is useful not only for avoiding the risk of surgical complications such as uterine perforation, but also for intraperitoneal observation to investigate the cause of infertility. Kaufman therapy and the use of an indwelling intrauterine device were useful for preventing postoperative recurrence of intrauterine adhesions.
