| Popis: | "nBackground: As an important diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for patients with intrauterine diseases, hysteroscopy permits a good view of the uterine cavity, thereby increasing diagnostic accuracy. Complications often encountered during hysteroscopy primarily concern problems with cervical dilatation and include uterine perforation, cervical tears, and the creation of false tracts. In this study, we investigate the utility of vaginal misoprostol for cervical dilatation in women undergoing hysteroscopy. "nMethods: This triple-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was carried out at Mirza Khoochak Khan Hospital, Tehran, Iran. We excluded women who were pregnant, had genital tract infection, or history of cervical trauma. We randomly assigned 80 women with abnormal uterine bleeding or intrauterine lesions to receive either 200 μg vaginal misoprostol or placebo. Ten to twelve hours prior to hysteroscopy, the placebo or misoprostol was administered to the posterior vaginal fornix. Data regarding cervical response and outcome of operative hysteroscopy, as well as complications, were analyzed. "nResults: The mean cervical width, as estimated by Hegar dilator, was significantly greater in the treated group (7.8±1.6mm) than that in the control group (5.6±2.2mm, p |
