Hysteroscopic morcellation for removal of persistent placental remnants in the uterine cornu: Two case reports.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Hysteroscopic morcellation is an alternative approach for the removal of placental remnants, given its advantages of safety, efficiency and good reproductive outcomes. This superiority can be even more obvious for removing persistent placental remnants in the lateral angle of the uterine cavity after repeated dilation and curettage (D&C) of an angular pregnancy, which is rarely reported.

Patient concerns

Two patients who were both initially misdiagnosed as having missed intrauterine miscarriages underwent repeated suction-assisted D&C procedures and were found to have persistent placental remnants in the lateral angles of the uterine cavity.

Diagnoses

Ultrasound and hysteroscopy evaluations showed that placental remnants in both cases were in the lateral ute
