Comparison of the Therapeutic Effects of VR and VR + GnRHa in the Treatment of Cesarean Scar Diverticula

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2018-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

Cesarean scar diverticula (CSD) is a novel recognized cause of postmenstrual abnormal uterine bleeding in women. No clinical guidelines have been issued for the management of CSD. The investigators have previously demonstrated that vaginal repair of CSD was an relative effective treatment of CSD. However, only 28.2% of the CSD patients normalized to less than 7 days of menstruation, whereas 51.2% of women had 7 to 10 days of menstruation at 6 months post vaginal repair. Postoperative menstruation may contribute to surgical site infections, which may subsequently affect the healing of uterine scars. Treatment CSD patients with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) may has the potential to improve therapeutic effects of vaginal repair. Therefore, the current multiple-center randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate whether the application of GnRHa in combination with vaginal repair could achieve better clinical effects than those achieved by vaginal CSD repair alone.
