Removal of Intrauterine Retained Products of Conception (RPOC) After Miscarriage Guided by Hysteroscopy Trial. A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Operative hysteroscopy is performed without or under local, regional or general anesthesia according to the local protocol preferably within 2 to 3 weeks after randomization. In case of highly vascularized RPOC, a repeat sonogram is performed 2 to 4 weeks after randomization to check for persistence of vascularity and to optimize operative timing. Operative hysteroscopy is then performed within 2 to 3 weeks after the repeat sonogram. Removal of the RPOC is performed by an experienced gynecologist using hysteroscopic morcellation (TruClearTM Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA)) and according to the local protocol.

No treatment will be offered. Patients will be given telephone numbers to contact a doctor. In case of severe complaints, defined as heavy uterine bleeding and/or severe abdominal pain, not responding to conservative treatment, an emergency curettage or operative hysteroscopy may be performed.
