Operative hysteroscopy in the operating room versus the outpatient clinic
Official title: Comparison of Operative Hysteroscopy Performed in the Operating Room Versus Outpatient Settings : A Prospective Observational Study
Run by Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil · NCT07146659 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether operative hysteroscopy done in an outpatient clinic works as well as when it's done in the operating room for women treated for fibroids, polyps, or retained products of conception.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18 or older undergoing operative hysteroscopy for intrauterine pathology (submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, or retained products of conception) who can give informed non-opposition and speak French.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to hysteroscopy, those who are pregnant, or those who require complex procedures needing general or regional anesthesia or inpatient care are unlikely to benefit from outpatient management compared here.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, single-center observational comparison of operative hysteroscopies performed in the operating room under general or regional anesthesia versus those performed in an outpatient setting without such anesthesia at CHI Créteil. About 400 women will be enrolled over two years (July 2025–May 2027) and followed to determine procedural success. The primary outcome is the success rate of the procedure, with secondary outcomes including postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, complications, and time to return to work. Data will be collected from routine clinical care and follow-up appointments to compare real-world effectiveness and recovery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, more patients could safely have operative hysteroscopies as outpatient procedures, reducing anesthesia use, recovery time, and resource costs.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have generally shown outpatient operative hysteroscopy to be feasible, safe, and similarly effective to operating-room procedures, although some reported higher immediate pain during outpatient procedures and others reported cost advantages.
