- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Womed Leaf, a degradable polymer film, for treating moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions (IUA) in women undergoing hysteroscopic surgery.
- The PREG-2 trial was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, involving 160 women who were divided into two groups: one received the Womed Leaf after surgery while the other did not.
- Results showed that the Womed Leaf significantly improved the reduction of IUAs compared to the control group, with a higher percentage of women showing no adhesions and no serious adverse events related to the device, confirming its safety and effectiveness.
Over the past 40 years there has been a worldwide critical change in the field of assisted reproduction technology (ART), leading to the increased application of single blastocyst transfer, which is extremely important to avoid the risks of multiple pregnancy and associated complications for both mother and babies. Indeed, advancements in ART over the last few decades have been obtained thanks to several improvements, including ovarian stimulation, embryo culture conditions and, of course, progress in cryopreservation methods, especially with the application of vitrification. The ability to cryopreserve human embryos has improved significantly with vitrification compared to the initially adopted slow-freezing procedures.

However, the proposed biological work-up must be justified by scientific evidence.
