Abstract

This editorial discusses the case report by Kakinuma et al, which details a rare occurrence of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm following hysteroscopic surgery. The case highlights diagnostic challenges and management strategies for this uncommon complication. The editorial explores the implications for clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and appropriate intervention to prevent potential severe outcomes. Future research directions to increase the understanding and management of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm in similar clinical settings.

Keywords: Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm; Hysteroscopic surgery; Vascular complications; Intervention implications; Case report

Core Tip: Careful post-hysteroscopic surveillance is crucial for the early detection and management of uterine artery pseudoaneurysms. This underscores the necessity for informed clinical decision-making and comprehensive patient counseling.
