Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Macroscopic anatomic malformations in missed abortions | Two years | The number and type of macroscopic anatomic malformations in missed abortions will be determined through visual observation using a fetoscope |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Minimize intrauterine adhesions through observation | Two years | To minimize intrauterine adhesions that might occur after curettage through the ability to visualize the womb and pregnancy site through a hysteroscope before the surgical procedure so that inadvertent intrauterine adhesions are minimized. After one year, if pregnancy is not achieved (due to intrauterine adhesions that cause infertility), a follow-up hysteroscopy will be performed and intrauterine adhesions can be visualized if they have occurred. |
| Prevention of retained conception products | Two years | Prevention of retained conception products by hysteroscopy after curettage and visualization and observation of the contents of the womb |
