  • Title: [Use of Lippes Loop in the treatment of post-traumatic uterine adhesions].
    Author: Maneschi M, Vegna G, Mezzatesta M.
    Journal: Minerva Ginecol; 1974 Nov; 26(11):633-40. PubMed ID: 4444805.
    Abstract:
    After a description of various mechanical devices used to complement surgery in the treatment of uterine synechiae and a discussion of the difficulties involved, 10 cases treated by the authors by using Lipped loop, sometimes in conjunction with a Petit-Lefour tube, are described. As already evident from the literature, Lippes loop is the most effective means of preventing relapses, on both practical and theoretical grounds. The recovery of not only morphological characteristics, but also of functional efficiency of the uterus was demonstrated in 1 case by the occurrence of pregnancy. There were no relapses. It is emphasized, however, that even though excellent results can be obtained by proper treatment, the best treatment of these adhesio ns consists of adequate prophylactic measures.
