Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Clinical study on the prevention of intrauterine adhesions after laparoscopic or laparotomic myomectomy.

Myomas are common in women of reproductive age and myomectomy can lead to intra-uterine adhesions, which can be detrimental to fertility. This study investigates whether the use of an intrauterine gel can prevent the development of these adhesions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Design:

Double-blind, randomized controlled pilot trial.

Participant:

* age between 18 and 45 years.
* intramurale and/or subserosal myoma (FIGO 3-6), and/or hybrid myoma (with a connection to the endometrium and serosa (FIGO 2-5), who are scheduled for laparoscopic / laparotomic myomectomy.
* absence of intra-uterine adhesions on preoperative diagnostic hysteroscopy

Treatment:

Application of intrauterine Hyalobarrier® gel endo at time of surgery

Control:

No application of Hyalobarrier® gel endo

Follow up:

Second-look hysteroscopy after 3months

To blind all trial participants and gynaecologists doing second-look hysteroscopy, 10 ml of a sterile ultrasound gel will be applied into the vagina at the end of the procedure in all women regardless of their treatment allocation.

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This study investigates whether the use of an intrauterine gel can prevent the development of these adhesions. The application of antiadhesion gel is compared to no gel.
Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators
None of the participants will be informed of the allocated treatment by the surgeon or the personnel present in the OR. The medical record will not reveal any information whether antiadhesion gel was applied at the end of the procedure. In the case that the surgeon is the same person as the gynaecologist doing the second-look hysteroscopy, blinding is assured by notification of treatment allocation if the surgeon has left the operating room.
