Abstract
Finding Fibers: Intrauterine Synechia of the Lower Uterus after Cesarean Section
Intrauterine adhesions, while most commonly the result of uterine curettage, may occur following any uterine surgery. However, the precise incidence of adhesion formation following uterine surgery is unknown. Described is a case of uterine adhesion formation shortly following cesarean delivery diagnosed and treated successfully with hysteroscopy and resection. The precise location of the adhesion and the time of diagnosis in this case suggest that is was an iatrogenic complication of cesarean delivery.
