Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progressive intrauterine pregnancy > 22 WA

    Questionnaire

    Until 2 years post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Next pregnancy

    Until 2 years post surgery

  • Surgical complications' rate

    until 2 years post surgery

Study Arms (2)

Arm A : Operative hysteroscopy

EXPERIMENTAL

operative hysteroscopy with direct visualization

Procedure: Hysteroscopy

Arm B : Aspirative curettage

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

curettage is the standard surgical treatment in most centers

Procedure: Curettage

Interventions

HysteroscopyPROCEDURE

Performed under general or local anesthesia, antibioprophylaxis in accordance to center practices may be administered. Cervical dilatation, will be made in order to introduce the hysteroscope. Operative hysteroscope used will include a handle. The distension of the uterine cavity will be performed with physiological saline or glycocoll, depending on the polarity of the high frequency generator necessary for resection system (monopolar or bipolar), with a pressure of maximum irrigation of 110 mm Hg.

Arm A : Operative hysteroscopy
CurettagePROCEDURE

Performed under general or local anesthesia, the used material may be rigid or flexible vacurette. In the same way, the prophylactic antibiotic, the diameter of the used vacurette, the importance of cervical dilation necessary and a possible peroperative ultrasound guidance will be left at the discretion of the operator and habits of the center. A check of the uterine vacuity by foam curette will be conducted at the end of curettage.

Arm B : Aspirative curettage
