Primary hysteroscopic treatment of miscarriages: Is it our future or just a fad?
In this issue of JMIG, we highlight a pilot study of primary hysteroscopic management of early miscarriage. Historically, patients have been offered a dilation and curettage (D&C) as the only surgical treatment option for miscarriage. Typically done without ultrasound guidance, D&Cs may be associated with complications including bleeding, infection, and perforation.1 –3 Importantly, D&Cs can disrupt the basalis layer of the endometrium leading to increased risk of intrauterine adhesions and subsequent hypofertility.1 Risk of intrauterine adhesions after miscarriage have been reported as high as 40% and may be increased w...

Effectiveness of hyaluronan gel, intrauterine device and their combination for prevention adhesions in patients after intrauterine surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis
According to recent studies, Asherman ’s syndrome is one of the reasons for female infertility. However, adhesiolysis only can cause recurrence and implantation failure. The aim of our systematic review and meta-analysis is to summarize all available data regarding the effectiveness of hyaluronan gel, an intrauterine device (IUD) and their combination in the prevention of intrauterine adhesions.

Association between endogenous LH level prior to progesterone administration and live birth rate in artificial frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer cycles of ovulatory women
AbstractSTUDY QUESTIONIs there an association between serum LH levels prior to progesterone administration and live birth rate (LBR) in artificial frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles?SUMMARY ANSWER: Low serum LH levels on the day before progesterone initiation in artificial frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer cycles of ovulatory women are associated with a lower LBR.WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADYIn artificial FET cycles, exogenous oestrogen and progesterone are administered sequentially to mimic the serum hormone pattern similar to the natural cycle. In oestrogen-only phase, the supplemental oestrogen causes thickening of the ...
