Description
Emma Bonetti Palermo and co-authors present a 2025 video that shows, step by step, how to remove a foreign body stuck inside the uterus with a scope. Such objects are rare but can cause odd bleeding and pelvic pain.
The patient was a sixty year old woman whose scan showed a small cylinder in her womb, three years after a scope procedure there. The scope found a tube like body stuck fast to the back wall. Scissors freed it first. Then an electrode cut the side walls near the neck of the womb to ease it out. A suture loop, fed through the body with forceps, let the team pull it out under direct view.
