Balloon stent after uterine surgery may reduce scarring
NCT ID NCT07032506
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether placing a small balloon in the uterus for 7-10 days after septum removal surgery can prevent internal scar tissue (adhesions). 320 women will be randomly assigned to receive the balloon plus hormones or hormones alone. The main goal is to see if the balloon lowers the rate of adhesion formation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- intrauterine pediatric foley catheter balloon
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple way to reduce scar tissue after uterine surgery, potentially improving fertility outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The balloon may cause discomfort or infection, and it is not yet clear if it will actually prevent adhesions better than standard care.
