Hysteroscopic removal of retained products of conception following first trimester medical abortion.

ABSTRACT:

Study objective

To investigate the use of operative hysteroscopy instead of traditional curettage in women with retained products of conception (RPOC) following first trimester medical abortion, with the aim of reducing post-operative intrauterine adhesions.

Design

Retrospective study.

Setting

Gynecology department in a University affiliated hospital.

Patients

All women treated by hysteroscopy for RPOC following first trimester medical abortion using the mifepristone-misoprostol protocol for pregnancy termination or the misoprostol protocol for early missed abortion from January 2013 to August 2016.

Intervention

Operative hysteroscopy for removal of RPOC. Post-operative intrauterine adhesions were assessed by diagnostic office hysteroscopy after 6-8 week
