ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of COOK balloon placement time on the efficacy of severe intrauterine adhesions.Methods150 patients with severe IUA were prospectively enrolled and randomized divided into three short-term group, medium-term group and long-term group, with respectively balloon placement time 1 week, 1 month and 2 months. All subjects underwent transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA). Re-adhesion and pregnancy rate after treatment, the relevant infection indicators, uterine cavity recovery, AFS score improvement rate, menstrual improvement, and endometrial thickness were analyzed.ResultsAll patients underwent transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) and COOK balloon placement successfully. Improvement of pregnancy rate and first pregnancy time were observed in group B and C than group A (P0.05).ConclusionPlacement of the uterine COOK balloon for more than 1 month may improve uterine cavity, pregnancy rate, AFS score, menstruation and endometrial thickness. However, the risk of infection increased at the second month after COOK balloon placement.
