Factors affecting pregnancy outcomes following the surgical removal of intrauterine adhesions and subsequent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors affecting pregnancy rates following the surgical removal of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) and subsequent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). We retrospectively evaluated case data from patients who had undergone hysteroscopic surgery to remove varying degrees of IUAs and who had subsequently received assisted reproductive treatments with IVF-ET (in all 140 cycles) at our hospital between January, 2011 and January, 2015. The patient data were… Show more

“…The endometrium is substantially thinner in women with IUAs than in women without IUAs [ 51 , 55 ]. Among women with IUAs who underwent IVF, the endometrium was significantly thicker in women who conceived compared to women who did not [ 56 ].…”

“…An odds ratio below 1.00 indicates a protective effect of the treatment on recurrent adhesions. For the modelling of ongoing pregnancies, factors that were shown to be associated with the chance of pregnancy after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis were adjusted including EMT on day of embryo transfer, women's age, type of infertility, and pre-treatment AFS scores 3,6 .…”

“…Secondly, to date our study provides the largest sample size that investigates the combination of HA gel and IUD following hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Moreover, to minimize the risk of selection bias in our retrospective study, we adjusted carefully for possible prognostic factors based on previous findings 3,6 . Thirdly, the post-treatment AFS scores in our study were assessed by consensus of the two surgeons who performed all the surgeries, which are difficult to achieve in multicenter studies.…”

“…Hysteroscopic surgery to remove IUAs followed by reproductive assistance technology has become the most effective treatment for good pregnancy outcomes [21]. It is well recognized that successful implantation relies on a properly developed blastocyst, a receptive endometrium, and synchrony of these factors.…”
