Treatment of C-section diverticula with hysteroscopic resection in women without childbearing intention: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diverticulum, one of the long-term sequelae of cesarean section, can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain. Hysteroscopic resection of diverticula is thought to reduce abnormal uterine bleeding and chronic pelvic pain. In this study, we aim to describe the improvement after hysteroscopic resection of cesarean section diverticula (CSD) in women without childbearing intention, and to explore the variables associated with poor prognosis.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study of women aged 25-48 with CSD diagnosis by transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and hysteroscopy that were enrolled at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between June 2017 and December 2018. A total of 124 women met the inclusion criteria and all patients had undergone hysteroscopic resection and accepted a follow-up interview at the 3rd and 6th months postoperatively to record symptom improvement.

Result

The mean of intraoperative blood loss and operative time of hysteroscopic resection were (12.94 ± 12.63) ml and (33.63 ± 6.87) min in 124 patients. Overall observed improvement rates of CSD symptom were 47.2 and 65.6% in the first 3 and 6 months, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression models revealed that timing of surgery < 14 days was a good prognostic factor associated with both 3-month improvement (OR, 16.59; 95% CI, 2.62-104.90; P = 0.003) and 6-month improvement (OR, 15.51; 95%CI, 1.63-148.00; P = 0.02); Patients with numbers of cesarean section (CS) ≥2 had a lower rate of improvement after 6 months of CSD repair surgery compared with patients who underwent one CS (OR, 8.29; 95%CI, 1.05-65.75; P = 0.04).

Conclusions

A hysteroscopic repair might be an appropriate method for CSD in women who no childbearing intentions. The timing of surgery and the number of CS seems to be factors influencing the postoperative improvement of CSD.

Project description:IntroductionHysteroscopic surgery and assisted reproduction technology are feasible ways to improve the reproductive outcome. Our aim was to study hysteroscopic septoplasty and myomectomy's effect on infertility and reproductive performance.MethodsRetrospective cohort of patients who had unexplained infertility and/or recurrent miscarriages and had myomectomy or septoplasty in the period September 2016-october 2021 with a total of 18 months' follow up. The main outcome measures were spontaneous pregnancy, term pregnancy and miscarriage. For analysis, we used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.ResultsOne hundred and sixty-five patients were included. The mean age of patients was 39 years. 40 patients had septum resection and 125 patients had hysteroscopic myomectomy. A spontaneous pregnancy rate after surgery was achieved in 46 patients (27.9%). Out of the 64 patients who had failed IVF preoperatively, 32 patients (50%) had a successful IVF post-hysteroscopic surgery and there were more successful cases in the patients who had fibroid resection but this difference did not reach a statistical significance (P value 0.055). In the 79 pregnancies after surgery, preterm birth and miscarriage were seen in 10 patients (12.7%), similarly, respectively after septal or fibroid resection. Miscarriages were less post-operatively. Hysteroscopic myomectomy, compared with hysteroscopic metroplasty, was significantly associated with higher spontaneous pregnancy rate (63.0% Vs 37.0%, P value 0.018), more term pregnancies (87.5% vs. 12.5%, P value 0.001) and less miscarriage rate (40%vs 60%, P value 0.003). Pregnancy post-operatively in patients with primary infertility was more statistically significantly associated with hysteroscopic myomectomy than with hysteroscopic septoplasty (95.8% vs. 4.2%, p value 0.030). In patients who got pregnant postoperatively there was no statistically significant difference in the mode of delivery.ConclusionIn carefully selected patients with unexplained infertility and recurrent miscarriage, hysteroscopic myomectomy, compared with hysteroscopic metroplasty, was significantly associated with higher spontaneous pregnancy, more term pregnancies and less miscarriage rates. More than metroplasty, hysteroscopic myomectomy led to higher spontaneous pregnancies in patients with primary infertility.Trial registrationNCT05560295.

Project description:BackgroundT-shaped uterus is a Müllerian malformation with unapparent clinical manifestations. Intrauterine adhesion and tuberculosis may lead to T-shaped uterus, too. Hysteroscopic metroplasty is a treatment option for T-shaped uterus, while the postoperative reproductive outcomes have not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the reproductive outcome in Chinese women with T-shaped uterus who had hysteroscopic metroplasty with cold scissors.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted in the reproductive surgery unit of a university-affiliated hospital. One hundred and eleven patients with T-shaped uterus who underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty from Jan. 2017 to Sept. 2019 were followed-up by telephone in Apr. 2021. All patients received hysteroscopic metroplasty using microcissors, followed by estrogen-progesterone sequential treatment, with or without intrauterine device (IUD) implantation. According to whether they had had history of intrauterine operation, patients were divided into congenital group and acquired group. The main outcome measure was postoperative live birth rate. χ2 test and t test were used for comparison between groups. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test were used for stratified analysis. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsOne hundred and eleven patients were included in total, with 46 in congenital group and 65 in acquired group. After hysteroscopic metroplasty, in the congenital group, the pregnancy rate increased from 28.3% to 87.0% (P < 0.001) and the live birth rate increased from 23.1% to 79.5% (P = 0.001); in the acquired group, the pregnancy rate slightly dropped from 98.5% to 72.3% (P < 0.001) while the live birth rate increased from 20.8% to 74.5% (P < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was observed in postoperative reproductive outcome indicators between the two subgroups except mode of conception.ConclusionsFor both groups, hysteroscopic metroplasty may improve reproductive outcomes for patients with T-shaped uterus.
