RESUMO

Pyometra is a uterine infection that causes pus to accumulate in the uterine cavity. Pyometra primarily affects postmenopausal women. Multiple aetiologies, including cervical stenosis, have been identified. Medical therapy using intravenous antibiotics and surgical evacuation are the conventional treatment options for pyometra. Here, we present a unique case of a novel therapy for pyometra in a geriatric patient; percutaneous alleviation of the causative cervical stenosis was performed using balloon dilatation, along with endometrial drainage of the infected fluid through her vagina, a natural route. This technique has overcome the need for other invasive therapies. The patient's clinical condition improved significantly after this minimally invasive treatment. Percutaneous balloon dilatation of the cervix for stenosis or occlusion in patients with pyometra facilitates drainage of the infected endometrial fluid. This alternative management technique ensured a satisfactory postoperative course and tolerance in the short-term follow-up. Furthermore, the technique ensured good aesthetic results, with its minimally invasive approach in selected patients, compared to other means of evacuation.
