A case report on the loss of an Iglesias resectoscope beak during hysteroscopic myomectomy

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT: This case report describes the dynamics of the detachment of the ceramic beak of an Iglesias resectoscope that was lost in the uterine cavity during 'cold loop' hysteroscopic myomectomy. Our aim is to increase awareness of this issue and caution our colleagues against using Iglesias resectoscopes for hysteroscopies. The ceramic beak of an Iglesias resectoscope can detach itself if hard tissue is encountered during operative hysteroscopy.
