    PLI 10, 30, 40: ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE, A PROSPECTIVE STUDY COMPARED INTRAUTERINE ADHESION FORMATION IN PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT HYSTEROSCOPIC REMOVAL OF RETAINED PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION OR ULTRASOUND-GUIDED ELECTRIC VACUUM ASPIRATION BETWEEN APRIL 2015 UNTIL J UNE 2022. HYSTEROSCOPIC REMOVAL WAS PERFORMED WITH THE TRUCLEAR 8.0 SYSTEM OR ELITE HYSTEROSCOPE PLUS WITH A SOFT TISSUE SHAVER PLUS OR A COMPETITOR DEVICE. FLUID BALANCE WAS MONITORED USING THE HYSTEROLUX OR A COMPETITOR DEVICE. HYSTEROSCOPES WERE INSERTED UNDER DIRECT VISION AFTER DILATING THE UTERINE CERVIX WITH DILATORS. OF 178 INCLUDED WOMEN, 92 WERE TREATED WITH HYSTEROSCOPY. COMPLICATIONS IN THE HYSTEROSCOPY GROUP INCLUDED HEMORRHAGE, PERFORATION, PERSISTENT RETAINED PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION, AND ADHESIONS. CONVERSION TO VACUUM ASPIRATION WAS REQUIRED DUE TO HEMORRHAGE (GREATER THAN 500ML) AND BAD VISIBILITY ± POOR DISTENTION/RAPID FLUID LOSS. PERFORATION OCCURRED AT THE CESAREAN SCAR WHICH HAD MINIMAL MYOMETRIUM OVERLAY, AND RESULTED IN A SMALL BLADDER PERFORATION WHICH WAS CONFIRMED WITH CYSTOSCOPY AND TREATED WITH A BLADDER CATHETER FOR 10 DAYS. REPEAT HYSTEROSCOPY WAS REQUIRED FOR PATIENTS WITH PERSISTENT RETAINED
