| Summary: | Objective To investigate the perioperative outcomes and postoperative pregnancy outcomes of patients with intrauterine adhesions(IUA) treated by see-and-treat hysteroscopy and traditional hysteroscopy in transcervical resection of adhesions(TCRA). Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed on 485 patients with moderate-to-severe IUA who met the inclusion criteria and admitted in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. According to surgical approaches, the patients were assigned into a see-and-treat mode group and a traditional mode group. After clinical diagnosis(ultrasound and symptoms) of IUA, the patients from the former group received direct hysteroscopic adhesion separation surgery, and those of the latter group were diagnosed by outpatient hysteroscopy first and then hysteroscopic adhesion separation surgery. The perioperative indicators, postoperative three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound(3D-TVUS) examination related characteristics, postoperative menstrual recovery, postoperative pregnancy outcomes, obstetric related complications, and neonatal outcomes were collected and compared between the 2 groups. Results Among the enrolled 485 patients, there were 277 in the see-and-treat group and 208 in the traditional group. The success rate of surgical treatment was 89.89% in the see-and-treat group and 92.79% in the traditional group, but no statistical difference was seen between them(Chi-square=1.234, P=0.267). 3D-TVUS examination displayed that the see-and-treat mode group obtained better improvement of endometrial morphology, uterine morphology and menstruation after operation than the traditional group(P<0.001). The postoperative pregnancy rate was slightly higher in the see-and-treat group than the traditional mode group(58.84% vs 58.17%, P=0.882). However, the see-and-treat mode showed obvious advantage in the postoperative natural pregnancy rate, with a rate of 90.80%, obviously higher than that in the traditional mode group(81.82%, P=0.026). The live birth rate was 70.55% in the see-and-treat mode group, excluding 1 case with ongoing pregnancy in the second trimester and 1 case with ongoing pregnancy in the third trimester, and the rate was 74.38% in the traditional group, excluding 3 cases with ongoing pregnancy in the third trimester, but there was no statistical difference between the 2 groups(P=0.303). In terms of obstetric-related complications, there were 0 cases of blood transfusion during delivery hospitalization in the see-and-treat group, while there were 7 cases in the traditional group(P=0.003). In neonatal outcomes, the rate of transfer to the pediatric department was 10.43% in the see-and-treat mode group and 22.22% in the traditional mode group(P=0.021). For health economics, the see-and-treat hysteroscopy group demonstrated a significant advantage over the traditional hysteroscopy group(P<0.001). There was no significant difference in pain scores between the 2 groups. Conclusion The see-and-treat approach is a safe, feasible, and highly efficient strategy for integrating the diagnosis and treatment of IUA, enabling maximal minimization of surgical trauma while optimizing time and cost efficiency.
