Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the mid-long term effects of hysteroscopic treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB).Methods A total of 432 patients admitted from January 2002 to November 2005 with AUB were treated with hysteroscopy.All the patients were followed for at least 12 months.Among the 432 patients,391 were diagnosed as having benign lesions,including endometrial polyp in 96 patients(22.2%),submucous myoma in 38 patients(8.8%),and endometrial hyperplasia in 257 patients(59.5%),receiving transcervical myoma resection or transcervical endometrium resection.The other 41 patients were diagnosed as having stage Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma,and a total hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy with selective pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed.Results All the operations were successfully completed,without uterine perforation or other complications.During a follow-up of 12～57 months(mean,39 months) in the 391 patients with benign lesions,amenorrhea was found in 63 patients(16.1%,63/391),hypomenorrhea( 1.5 cm in 8 patients,and a second hysteroscopic endometrial resection was given at 5～19 months after first operation.All the 8 patients were further followed for 18～36 months,with findings of amenorrhea in 5 of them and hypomenorrhea in 3.All the 41 patients with stage Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma survived without recurrence during a follow-up period for 26～41 months(mean,38 months).Conclusions Hysteroscopic treatment can be the first choice for treating non-malignant AUB.Pre-operational pathological examination and ultrasonography can enhance the safety and efficacy of the operation.
