Abstract

The benefits of non-invasive, correctly-directed instrumentation coupled with an ability to predict complete evacuation of the uterus can make intraoperative ultrasound an important addition in the continued and improved care of women with a perforated uterus and retained products of conception. Two such cases are reported.
