Clinical study on the prevention of intrauterine adhesions after laparoscopic or laparotomic myomectomy.~Myomas are common in women of reproductive age and myomectomy can lead to intra-uterine adhesions, which can be detrimental to fertility. This study investigates whether the use of an intrauterine gel can prevent the development of these adhesions.
