Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence and severity of spontaneous recurrence of adhesions at 8-10 week second look hysteroscopy | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We aim to answer the following secondary questions which strategy of prevention of spontaneous recurrence : * restores the normal menstrual blood flow better on shorter (3months) and long-term (6months and 1 year) assessed with a *Pictorial Blood Loss Assement* (PBAC) (Appendix4). * Has the best the pregnancy rate. This the hazard ratio for any ongoing pregnancy (in those patients willingly to conceive) after one year follow-up. During a follow up of 1 year the number and time to conceive will be recorded. The clinical as well as the ongoing pregnancies (defined as intra-uterine heart activity at 12 weeks gestation) and the course of the pregnancies will be recorded. * Needs the highest number of re-interventions (hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in the OR or outpatient clinic or adhesiolysis without hysteroscopy (dilatation) in outpatient clinic setting) during one year per patient will be closely monitored and recorded * Has the highest complications related to gel or IUD or any side-effect, such as intra uterine infection and discomfort of the patient. | — |
