Webinar Description: This webinar will explore the relationship between retained products of conception (RPOC) and the development of intrauterine adhesions, highlighting their pathophysiologic overlap and clinical implications. Emphasis will be placed on proactive strategies in the postpartum period, particularly in patients with abnormal placental separation, postpartum dilation and curettage, retained placenta, or placenta accreta spectrum disorders. The session will also examine the role of intrauterine surgical techniques in the effective management and resolution of retained products of conception and retained placenta.

Webinar Course Objective(s):
1. Learn about technique and evaluate reproductive outcomes after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for Asherman syndrome.
2. Apply hysteroscopic techniques for fertility-preserving management of RPOC.
3. Broaden knowledge on the pathophysiologic link between retained products of conception (RPOC) and intrauterine adhesions (IUA).
4. Identify patients at highest risk of adhesion formation after postpartum hemorrhage and suction D&C and consider a proactive postpartum strategy to prevent long-term uterine cavity damage.
