Abstract

Abstract Objective The purpose of this article is to describe the application of hysteroscopy in different cases of gestational trophoblastic disease. Materials and methods Three patients who presented with gestational trophoblastic disease were managed with hysteroscopy.

She underwent transcervical resection for retained products of conception. The third case had a history of suction curettage for hydatidiform mole. In contrast with the second case, the patient had rising β human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) values prior to transcervical resection and eventually underwent chemotherapy in the form of methotrexate. Results The surgical procedure was uneventful in all three patients. All three operations were performed in Conclusion Different cases of gestational trophoblastic disease can be managed effectively by hysteroscopy.
