Overview

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.
