Uterine perforation

Uterine perforation (gynecology) refers to the full-layer damage to the uterine wall caused by intrauterine surgery, causing the uterine cavity to communicate with the abdominal cavity or other organs. Uterine perforation is most common in female genital tract injuries. Can be seen in the placement or removal of IUD, abortion, mid-term induction of labor, diagnosis and curettage, etc., probes, cervical dilators, straws, curettes, placental forceps or fingers can cause perforation. Perforation can occur at the base of the palace, isthmus, or cervical canal, with the isthmus most common. It can also penetrate into the broad ligament, the posterior wall of the bladder, the bowel, and even pull out the omentum, which leads to internal bleeding, hematoma in the broad ligament, and secondary peritonitis. It must be diagnosed and processed in time to avoid serious consequences.
