OBJECTIVE: To describe a practical procedure of transcervical needle biopsy of @entity5 using an automatic biopsy gun and its potential risks. DESIGN: Description of new biopsy procedure. SETTING: University teaching hospital. @entity1 (S): Three hundred twelve @entity1 who had been recommended for surgery for @entity5 by the hospital's outside doctors. INTERVENTION(S): Transcervical needle biopsy of @entity5 . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Successful sampling rate, duration of procedure, estimated @entity190 , @entity1 discomfort, and complications. RESULT(S): Of the 312 @entity1 who underwent transcervical needle biopsy, specimens were obtained from 311 (99.7%). The mean (+/- SD) duration of procedure was 6.3 +/- 5.2 minutes. The mean estimated @entity190 was 10.4 +/- 10.9 g. There were two cases (0.6%) in which the @entity190 during the procedure was in excess of 50 g, but bleeding can be conservatively controlled in such cases with an intrauterine tamponade using gauze or a balloon catheter. The level of @entity1 @entity158 and discomfort during the needle biopsy was significantly lower than that during endometrial curettage. No major complications requiring surgery occurred. CONCLUSION(S): Transcervical needle biopsies of @entity5 using an automatic biopsy gun are practical, simple, and safe. This new procedure can be of routine clinical use.
