Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing methods to prevent scarring inside the uterus (called intrauterine adhesions) that can form after surgery to remove uterine fibroids (myomectomy). Scar tissue after surgery can affect fertility and uterine health, and this study aims to find better ways to reduce this risk. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 45 years old - You have uterine fibroids requiring laparoscopic or open abdominal surgery (myomectomy) - You have no pre-existing scar tissue in the uterus, confirmed by a pre-surgical procedure (hysteroscopy) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant - Your myomectomy will be combined with a hysteroscopic (internal) procedure at the same time - You have endometritis (infection of the uterine lining) - You are already using another anti-adhesion method Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
