Human Amnion as a Temporary Biologic Barrier after Hysteroscopic Lysis of Severe Intrauterine Adhesions: Pilot Study

Prevention of intrauterine post-surgical adhesions in hysteroscopy. A systematic review

“…Five studies [25,[28][29][30][31] evaluating the efficacy of Foley catheter, uterine balloon and amnion graft in preventing IUA formation after hysteroscopic surgery were identified (Table 4). Two papers [25,28] have already been analyzed in the ''Intrauterine device (IUD)'' section.…”

“…In 2010, the same authors published a randomized study that compared 3 different methods for preventing postoperative IUA in a cohort of 45 patients with severe IUA [31]. Patients were preoperatively randomized into 3 groups of 15 patients each.…”

“…We identified 8 studies evaluating the role of hormonal therapy in preventing IUA [22,23,26,27,30,31,38,39]. Seven studies [22,23,26,27,30,31,38] have already been analyzed in the other ''Results'' sub-sessions.…”

“…Seven studies [22,23,26,27,30,31,38] have already been analyzed in the other ''Results'' sub-sessions. Roy et al [38] in a prospective randomized study evaluated the efficacy of estrogen in preventing IUA following hysteroscopic septal resection.…”

Prevention of Intrauterine Adhesions

“…In 2006, Amer et al [ 41 ] fi rstly advocated the use of amnion graft in uterine cavity following hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for prevention of intrauterine adhesion recurrence and found encouraging results. They carried out a pilot study involving 25 patients with moderate or severe intrauterine adhesions.…”
