Stage 1-Mild adhesions1-4 Stage 2-Moderate adhesions5-8 Stage 3-Severe adhesions9-12 HSG score: adhesions should be considered dense Hysteroscopic score

 Avoid overzealous curettage  Avoid curretage PP  Suction curretage by Karman aspiration whenever possible  Adjuvants

 Dilatation under local or general anesthesia  Curettage  Hysteroscopic lysis  Office hysteroscopy  Conventional hysteroscopy  Other methods  Pressure lavage under US guidance

 HSG is the single most important preoperative test  Phase of the cycle  Office hysteroscopy should be the gold standard  No indication for Misoprostol

 Operative scissors  Bipolar cutting current  Versapoint  Resectoscope  Laser

LaparoscopyUltrasoundFluoroscopy

 Antibiotics  Estrogen  IUD  Balloon  Adhesion barriers  Amnion grafting  Hyaluronic acid  Hyaluronic acid + CMC (Seprafilm)

 Diagnosis and treatment is dictated by HSG  Ultrasound or LS guided hysteroscopic lysis is the best treatment option  Results depend upon the extent of adhesions
