In this case, both of patient were performed operative hysteroscopy for incomplete abortion, and with the assistance of hysteroscopy, the angular pregnancy was detected. Conclusions Hysteroscopy can more intuitively display the conditions inside the uterine cavity, reduce the intraoperative and postoperative complications, and shorten the hospitalization time of patients.
