Abstract:
Objective To study the feasibility,safety,and efficacy of hysteroscopic treatment of submucous leiomyomas and endometrial polyps.Methods Hysteroscopic resections were performed in 38 cases of submucous leiomyomas and 40 cases of endometrial polyps from January 2002 to July 2004,including 31 cases of transcervical resection of myoma(TCRM),7 cases of TCRM combined with transcervical resection of the endometrium(TCRE), 35 cases of transcervical resection of polyp(TCRP),and 5 cases of TCRP combined with TCRE.Results The operation was completed smoothly on one session in all the 78 cases.The intraoperative blood loss was ≥ 400 ml in 2 cases.There were 1 case of overhydration.No uterine perforation or infection occurred after operation.The patients were followed at 1,3,6,and 12 months after operation,respectively,and the surgical outcomes were assessed at 12 postoperative months.Follow-up findings revealed 8 cases of amenorrhea(10.3%),12 cases of irregular spotting(15.4%),33 cases of hypomenorrhea(42.3%),22 cases of normal menstrual flow(28.2%),and 3 cases of no improvement(3.8%).Conclusions Hysteroscopic resections for submucous leiomyomas and endometrial polyps offer advantages of good reliability and fewer complications,being worthy of recommendation.
