Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are primarily caused by trauma to the endometrium, and hysteroscopy is presently the main treatment for IUA. However, high rates of post-operative adhesion re-formation remain a problem. In this study, the combination of an intrauterine device (IUD) with a Foley catheter and the balloon uterine stent were investigated to evaluate their efficacy in preventing adhesion re-formation and the subsequent reproductive outcomes in patients with moderate to severe adhesions.
