RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the incidence of complications of hysteroscopic surgery. METHODS: A total of 150 patients who was done by hysteroscopic surgery from February 1997 to February 2000 were retrospectively analyzed at Choon Hae Hospital, Pusan, Korea. We classified complications into 6 groups - infection, surgeon-related complication, distension-media related complication, energy source related complication, hemorrhage and others. RESULTS: Overall complication rates were 6% (9 to 150). Surgeon-related complication rate was 1.3% (2 of 150), media-related complication rate was 0.7% (1 of 150), hemorrhage was 4% (6 of 150). And there's no complications of infection, energy-source related, or others. CONCLUSION: Hysteroscopy is a safe procedure if you know the complications of hysteroscopy & its mechanisms.
