ABSTRACT

To evaluate the clinical effect of LNG-IUD on preventing recurrence after hysteroscopic resection of endometrial polyps . [ Methods] Electrical excision of endometrial polyps with the help of hysteroscopy was performed for 120 patients, who were randomly divided into trial group ( levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system after surgery ) and control group ( without any treatment after surgery), with 60 patients in each group.After follow-up of 4 years, the recurrence of endometrial polyps was observed in the two groups . [ Results] The recurrence rate of trial group was 1.6%,and that of control group was 15.0%.There was significant difference in recurrence between the two groups ( P<0. 05 ) . [ Conclusion] The hysteroscopy can be used for more definite diagnosis and treatment of endome-trial polyps .And there has been a significantly positive effect of LNG-IUD proved on preventing recurrence after hysteroscopic resection of endometrial polyps .
