Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the therapeutic efficiency of hysteroscopic resection for the treatment of endometrial polyps in women with abnormal uterine bleeding and postmenopausal metrorrhagia. SETTING: University hospital. DESIGN: Retrospective consecutive patient follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 1987 to 1997, 195 patients with haemorrhagic endometrial polyps were treated with hysteroscopic resection in our department. RESULTS: Five complications occurred, but no major complications were noted. A total of 89.2% of the patients remained in contact after hospitalization. After long term follow-up (5.2 years), successful results were obtained in 80% of the patients with polyp resection without associated endometrial ablation. Further surgery (hysterectomy) was required in only five women. CONCLUSION: Transcervical resection is the gold standard for treatment of endometrial polyps. |
