Laparoscopic c section niche repair

Hello. Just after some advice if anyone has had a previous c section scar defect (niche) repaired via laparoscopy? Since TTC my second child (started IVF again in August last year) I’ve had a miscarriage (untested embryo) and two failed transfers (these were euploid embryos). I have a niche and my consultant thinks it may be an issue but then cannot be certain. Have fluid collect in the niche in first half of cycle but usually disappears when starts progesterone but I know it can cause other issues like inflammation.

I’ve done so much reading of medical studies and there’s no conclusive results as to whether surgery helps implantation but I think I will have it done as I don’t know why else the embryos are failing. Will do EMMA/ALICE test too just if anything to rule things out. I’m led to believe that ERA might not be relevant in my care as I’ve had two IVF pregnancies (one live birth) on the standard window of implantation?

Anyone have any experience of this surgery and did it help? I’ve been told recovery before next FET will be about 3 months.

I’m in London / SE England so any surgeon recommendations will be gratefully received. Thank you so much x
