Our cohort of patients undergoing polypectomy in pregnancy have high risks of miscarriage or spontaneous premature delivery. It is unclear whether these risks are given by the underlying disease, by surgical treatment or both.

PTB risks should be exposed to patients and extensively discussed with balancing against the benefits of intervention in pregnancy.
