Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of amniotic products after transcervical resection of uterine adhesions (TCRA). METHODS: This study was carried out in 57 patients with intensive degree of intrauterine adhesions (IUA) who had been treated by TCRA between Jun. 2013 to Jun. 2014. These patients were devided into two groups randomly. In group amnion, 29 patients wereplaced amniontic scaffold balloon after TCRA; in group balloon, 28 patients were placed Foley's balloon after TCRA. The two groups' balloons were taken out after TCRA 7 days. All patients were taken artificial cycle treatment. The uterine cavity form and the menstruation of 2 groups were observed in 3 months after TCRA. RESULTS: In group amnion, IUA score dropped from 10.1±0.5 preoperatively to 3.2±1.5 postoperative (P<0.01), in group balloon, IUA score dropped from 10.1±0.5 preoperatively to 6.3±2.5 postoperative (P<0.01). In group amnion, the menstrual score increased from 13.3 ± 4.4 preoperatively to 32.6 ± 5.5 postoperative (P<0.01), in group balloon, the menstrual score increased from 11.1±5.8 to 26.5±5.6 (P<0.01). The menstrual improvement of group amnion was better than that of group balloon significantly (P=0.002). In group amnion, the recurrence rate of adhesion was 21% (6/29), in group balloon, the recurrence rate of adhesion was 36% (10/28). There was no significant difference (P=0.248). The pregnancy rate of group amnion was 28% (8/29), the pregnancy rate of group balloon was 21% (6/28). The difference of pregnancy rate in two groups was not significant (P=0.760). CONCLUSION: This small sample observation indicate that amniotic products used in the treatment of intensive IUA could improve menstrual, reduce the recurrence of adhesion, but the impovement of the pregnancy rate should be confirmed by large sample observation.
