Gynaecoradiological uterine resection.
We assessed the feasibility of performing uterine surgery under fluoroscopic control in an ambulatory setting that does not require operating room time and general anaesthesia. Four uterine septae were resected and two cases of Asherman's syndrome were treated using fluoroscopically guided scissors. All six surgical procedures were successfully completed. Gynaecoradiological uterine resection (GUR) procedures, utilizing fluoroscopy guided scissors, are promising new techniques, which may allow the successful performance of uterine surgery in a cost effective ambulatory setting with no requirement of general anaesthesia.
