Disease relevance of Uterine Perforation

More medical students cited complications that were technical like uterine perforation (p<0.001), cervical trauma (p<0.001), DIC (p<0.001), and sepsis (p<0.001) [1].

High impact information on Uterine Perforation

We present a case of trophoblastic spread to the sigmoid colon following uterine perforation, which was treated by surgical removal of the implants and intramuscular administration of methotrexate [2].
Although uterine perforation by the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has already been described, no plasma LNG concentrations in this setting were reported [3].
Complications included uterine perforation in three women, excessive glycine absorption in two, and two women had problems with haemorrhage [4].
SUMMARY: The preoperative use of misoprostol or laminara decreases the risk of uterine perforation [5].
