Small Size Resectoscope in Isthmocele Repair: Case Report

The presence of a uterine cesarean scar defect (CSD) is usually asymptomatic or relates to postmenstrual spotting and dark red or brown discharge, pelvic pain or infertility. Since hysteroscopic isthmoplasty has been documented to be minimally invasive and effective for symptomatic relief, we prefer channel-like resectoscopic treatment for symptomatic CDS with small size resectoscope. 16-Fr resectoscope allows us to perform standard maneuvers of resectoscopic CSD repair according to the anatomy of cervical canal with the advantages of miniaturized instrumentation. In the present case report asymptomatic patient underwent hysteroscopic isthmoplasty after shared decision-making and medical treatment have been evaluated.
