What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Macroscopic anatomic malformations in missed abortions
Time Frame: Two years
The number and type of macroscopic anatomic malformations in missed abortions will be determined through visual observation using a fetoscope
Two years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Minimize intrauterine adhesions through observation
Time Frame: 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.
Two years
Prevention of retained conception products
Time Frame: Two years
Prevention of retained conception products by hysteroscopy after curettage and visualization and observation of the contents of the womb
Two years
