Abstract Background Retained products of conception (RPOC) refer to the presence of placental and/or fetal tissue in the uterus following delivery, miscarriage, or termination of pregnancy. The presence of such tissue might lead to complications, which might be the culprit of secondary infertility. Although some studies have considered the management of symptomatic RPOC, there are no data regarding the management of asymptomatic, incidentally diagnosed RPOC, nor the optimal time for surgical intervention required to prevent adverse reproductive outcomes. Objective This study aimed to examine whether the time interval between the pregnancy termination to surgical evacuation of RPOC influences the reproductive outcome in asymptomatic women. Design This is a retrospective cohort study, which includes women who were admitted for an elective procedure in the gynecology day-care clinic due to suspected RPOC. The diagnosis was made during patients’ routine examination following either delivery or miscarriage between the years 2010 and 2018. Setting Records of women who were admitted to the day-care gynecology department during the years 2010–2018 for hysteroscopic removal of RPOC. Patients The patients were divided into three groups, according to the time from desired pregnancy to conception following the procedure (> 6; 3–6 and
