Uterine synechiae after bipolar hysteroscopic resection of submucosal myomas in patients with infertility.
To determine the rate of uterine synechiae after bipolar hysteroscopic myomectomy in patients suffering from infertility. ⋯ The incidence of uterine synechiae after bipolar hysteroscopic resection of fibroids was 7.5%. This appears to be lower than that reported in previous studies using monopolar energy. Bipolar hysteroscopic myomectomy may be a better option for infertile women.

Does dilation and curettage versus expectant management for spontaneous abortion in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization affect subsequent endometrial development?
In in vitro fertilization patients, treatment of spontaneous abortion with dilation and curettage (D&C) versus expectant management has no long-term effect on subsequent endometrial development, as measured by change in endometrial thickness. A transient reduction in endometrial thickness was found within the first 6 months after D&C, which is a novel finding, but it is likely to have little or no effect on pregnancy rates given the small absolute effect on endometrial thickness.
