Abstract
Recognition of foreign bodies in the uterine cavity is of great importance for successful treatment of secondary infertility: e.g. a piece of intrauterine contraceptive (after a removal failure), suture after cesarean section, or cylindrical and flat small bones after abortions. Sixty-nine foreign bodies were removed with a hysteroscope during 1992-93. Sixty-one of the foreign bodies were intrauterine devices. Twelve patients (19.7%) had had several unsuccessful removal attempts. The remaining eight women (11.9%) underwent fetal bone removals. Removal of ligatures in the area of scar on the uterus after cesarean section was carried out in two patients and both were done under hysteroscopic control. Hysteroscopy allows exact determination of foreign body position in uterus and for their atraumatic removal.
