Abstract
We report on the feasibility, efficiency, and reproductive outcomes of hysteroscopic resection of late residual trophoblastic tissue in 50 patients in an observational study over 6 years. Complete evacuation of the uterus was achieved in all patients by hysteroscopy. The median operative time was 21 (15-30) min. Only one surgical complication was registered: a uterine perforation in a patient with previous metroplasty. Hysteroscopic resection of persistent trophoblastic tissue seems to be a safe and efficient procedure that could be proposed as an alternative to conventional non-selective blind curettage. We would also recommend systematic second-look hysteroscopy to asess the exact prevalence of post-procedure intrauterine adhesions.
