ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE, A PROSPECTIVE STUDY EVALUATED THE EFFECTIVENESS, SAFETY AND PATIENT SATISFACTION OF HYSTEROSCOPIC REMOVAL OF RETAINED PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION BETWEEN MARCH 2022 AND DECEMBER 2022. TRUCLEAR 5C HYSTEROSCOPE WITH SOFT TISSUE SHAVER MINI OR A COMPETITOR DEVICE WAS USED. THERE WERE 52 HYSTEROSCOPIES PERFORMED AND TRUCLEAR WAS USED IN 7 PROCEDURES. COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED BLEEDING AND PERFORATION. ONE CASE WAS NOT COMPLETED DUE TO UTERINE BLEEDING CAUSING POOR VISUALIZATION AND THE PATIENT REQUIRED A SECOND HYSTEROSCOPIC PROCEDURE UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA. TWO CASES OF UTERINE BLEEDING REQUIRED USE OF AN INTRAUTERINE FOLEY BALLOON AND INTRAVENOUS TRANEXAMIC ACID. AFTER 3 HOURS, THE BALLOON WAS REMOVED AND BOTH PATIENTS WERE DISCHARGED THE SAME DAY. ONE UTERINEPERFORATION OCCURRED REQUIRING A LAPAROSCOPY WHICH IDENTIFIED A BOWEL PERFORATION WHICH WAS CLOSED WITH STITCHES. THE PATIENT WAS DISCHARGED 3 DAYS LATER WITHOUT ANY OTHER ADVERSE EVENTS. IT WAS NOT SPECIFIED WHICH DEVICE ATTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED EVENTS.
