["See and treat" hysteroscopy: limits of intrauterine pathology bulk].

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate bulk limits of intrauterine pathology for "see and treat" hysteroscopy.

TYPE OF STUDY: A retrospective observational study.

SETTING

Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University Prague and General Teaching Hospital Prague.

METHODS

200 mg of Indomethacin was administered to the patients by rectum 2 hours before procedure. "See and treat" procedures were performed with "Versascope" in awake patients without any peroperatively admistered analgesia or anaesthesia. As a "see and treat" were managed 796 endometrial polyps, 125 submucous myomas, as well as 62 cases of intrauterine synechias.

CONCLUSIONS

endometrial polyps up to 1,5 cm, pedunculated submucous myomas up to 1,0 cm as well as fibroid adhesiones obliterated no more than 1/3 of uterine cavity can be managed as "see and treat" procedures with a high compliance of the patients.
