Pregnancy outcomes and surgical safety were compared between the two groups, with subgroup analysis conducted by IUA severity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Results showed that the LAC group had a significantly higher term delivery rate (89.4% vs. 71.2%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005) and neonatal survival rate (98.5% vs. 90.4%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.027), and a lower preterm birth rate before 34 weeks (9.1% vs. 20.2%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.036) than the TVC group. In terms of safety, the LAC group had a lower infection rate (3.0% vs. 10.6%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.029) and suture slippage rate (1.5% vs. 9.6%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.015), while the TVC group had a higher cervical laceration rate (5.8% vs. 1.5%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.048). The LAC group had 2 mild intraoperative complications (1.5% each), all resolved with timely treatment, whereas the TVC group had no severe intraoperative complications. The LAC group had a markedly higher cesarean section rate (98.5% vs. 26.9%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Subgroup analysis indicated that the LAC group had a significantly higher term delivery rate in moderate-to-severe IUA patients (88.1% vs. 71.0%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005), with no significant difference in mild IUA patients (91.7% vs. 71.4%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). In conclusion, LAC is superior to TVC in improving the term delivery rate and reducing late miscarriage in CI patients after IUA surgery, especially for those with moderate-to-severe IUA. TVC, with minimal invasion and preserved vaginal delivery chance, is suitable for mild IUA patients with good cervical conditions and a willingness for vaginal delivery. Individualized surgical selection is recommended in clinical practice.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
