Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Macroscopic anatomic malformations in missed abortions [Two years]
The number and type of macroscopic anatomic malformations in missed abortions will be determined through visual observation using a fetoscope
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Minimize intrauterine adhesions through observation [Two years]
To minimize intrauterine adhesions that might occur after curettage through the ability to visualize the womb and pregnancy site through a hysteroscope before the surgical procedure so that inadvertent intrauterine adhesions are minimized. After one year, if pregnancy is not achieved (due to intrauterine adhesions that cause infertility), a follow-up hysteroscopy will be performed and intrauterine adhesions can be visualized if they have occurred.
- Prevention of retained conception products [Two years]
Prevention of retained conception products by hysteroscopy after curettage and visualization and observation of the contents of the womb
