| Popis: | A B S T R A C T Objective: To analyse the efficiency of the H Pipelle endometrial sampler at ‘‘no touch’’ (vaginoscopic) diagnostic hysteroscopy in terms of biopsy adequacy for histological diagnosis. Study design: Retrospective descriptive study of 200 premenopausal women including comparison with previously published data on traditional biopsy instruments. Results: Biopsy was adequate in 82% of cases overall, rising to 87% in those without submucous fibroids or polyps. Comparison with published data on other biopsy instruments shows that the H Pipelle is at least as efficient. Conclusion: The H Pipelle appears to be at least as effective as traditional endometrial samplers even after hysteroscopy but allows hysteroscopy and biopsy to be done using a purely ‘‘no touch’’ (vaginoscopic) technique. |
