RESUMO

We reported our experience and results of diagnostic hysteroscopy performed on 294 patients between June 1994 and May 2000 at the Gynecologic Endoscopy Unit, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Diagnostic hysteroscopy was performed successfully in 286 patients (97.3%), allowing thorough inspection of the uterine cavity. Cervical dilatation was required in 146 patients (49.6%). The most common indication was endometrial polyps (34.4%) followed by infertility (19.4%) and abnormal uterine bleeding (14.9%), respectively. Each of the hysteroscopic findings accounted for 103 patients (35%) in endometrial polyps and normal endometrium. The procedure failed in 8 patients (2.71%) due to uterine perforation. In conclusion, diagnostic hysteroscopy should be considered as a safe, effective and successful investigation procedure for suspected intrauterine pathology.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of endometrial polyps by hysteroscopy. MATERIAL AND METHOD: One hundred and sixty five women undergoing diagnostic hysteroscopy between January 1996 and December 1998 at the Gynecologic Endoscopy Unit, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital were recruited in this study. The hysteroscopic diagnosis was compared with the histopathology by endometrial curettages performed after hysteroscopy. RESULTS: Endometrial polyps were diagnosed by hysteroscopy in 54 patients (32.73%). When compared to tissue pathology, we found an accuracy of 81.21 per cent, sensitivity of 92.59 per cent, specificity of 78.98 per cent, positive predictive value of 46.29 per cent, negative predictive value of 98.19 per cent, false positive of 17.57 per cent and false negative of 1.21 per cent. CONCLUSION: For endometrial polyps, diagnostic hysteroscopy yields a high accuracy but low positive predictive value. Therefore, endometrial biopsy is necessary to confirm diagnosis of endometrial polyps by hysteroscopy.

RESUMO

Fifteen infertile women who required tubal passage evaluation by chromolaparoscopy were recruited. Those who had lower genital tract infection or abnormal uterine bleeding were excluded from the study. Transvaginal HyCoSy was performed during the first half of the menstrual cycle at least 24 hours prior to chromolaparoscopy. The results from both transvaginal HyCoSy and chromolaparoscopy were compared in assessing tubal patency and uterine pathology. A high correlation was noted regarding uterine examination using transvaginal HyCoSy compared with chromolaparoscopy (sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 91.7%, 33.3%, 84.6% and 50%, respectively). The correlation of the outcome between the two procedures in assessing tubal patency, when combining both tubes, was also high (sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 100%, 55.6%, 80% and 100%, respectively). The most common adverse event was only mild pelvic pain which did not necessitate any treatment. These preliminary results reveal the potential value of transvaginal HyCoSy as an alternative in infertility investigations. It seems to be as effective but less invasive than conventional chromolaparoscopy. The adverse events reported in this study relate more to the procedure (catheter insertion) rather than the trial substance.
