PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: To determine the therapeutic efficacy of the use of @entity5990 forceps and curettage in @entity1478 , after their detection with diagnostic hysteroscopy. METHODS: From 1997 to 2001, we conducted a prospective study in 53 @entity1 who presented at our department for @entity1866 , @entity249 problems or @entity548 and in whom @entity1478 were detected by hysteroscopy. All @entity1 received general anesthesia and after hysteroscopic detection of the @entity1127 ' location, their removal was attempted by use of @entity5990 forceps and curettage. Immediately after the procedure, a second hysteroscopy was performed in order to detect remnants of the @entity1127 . RESULTS: Fifty @entity1 presented with only one polyp, two with two @entity1127 and one with three @entity1127 . The mean diameter of the @entity1127 ranged from 0.5 to 3 cm. The hysteroscopic appearance of all @entity1127 was not suggestive of @entity5 . During the second hysteroscopy we found parts or whole @entity1127 in five and two cases, respectively, accounting for a therapeutic success of 86.8%. The hospitalization time for all @entity1 was 24 hours and occurred no @entity260 . CONCLUSION: Our method seems to be safe, with low cost and sufficient therapeutic outcome and could be used in hospitals with availability of diagnostic hysteroscopy only.
