摘要
Summary: In a series of 50 patients investigated by office hysteroscopy and curettage, satisfactory direct inspection of the cervical canal and uterine cavity was possible in all patients. In addition satisfactory endometrial specimens suitable for reliable histological evaluation were obtained in 98% of patients. No endometrium was obtained in 1 postmenopausal patient. Patients chosen for this form of investigation are those with an indication for diagnostic curettage who have no serious cardiovascular disease, are not bleeding or have light bleeding, and are willing to have an office procedure. Currently office curettage is done with a 5mm Karman catheter with an attached 10ml syringe for suction. Local analgesia is rarely used. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
