title: [Surgical management of intrauterine adhesions: is benefice bigger than risk?].
abstract: Management of intrauterine synechiae in a context of infertility remains a challenge, in spite of hysteroscopic microsurgery progress. There is no published prospective study to be used as a guideline. Anatomic, but most of all functional prognosis are directly correlated to the severity of adhesions and the number of surgical procedures required to complete treatment. Complications during surgery are not infrequent, but are well known and often benign. Obstetrical complications are much less frequent but often severe (abnormal placentation, uterine rupture). Recurrences are common enough to impose a systematic second-look diagnostic hysteroscopy. However, the benefit gained by the recovery of fertility (either spontaneous or not) remains superior, in my opinion, to the risks of the surgical management.
