Gynocheck endometrial tissue sampler: an evaluation of an out-patient procedure for endometrial investigation

ABSTRACT

The Gynocheck endometrial tissue sampler was used to obtain endometrial tissue from 80 consecutive patients presenting with infertility premenopausal bleeding and postmenopausal bleeding, without anesthesia. Then the classic cervical dilation and endometrial curetting [D. and C.] was done under general anesthesia. Patient's acceptances, thime taken adequacy of sample, and reliability for histopathological diagnosis were evaluated. Different pathological results were obtained and were correlated 100% with the samples taken by D. and C. The failure rate and inadequacy of sample was very limited to only one case [1.25%]. This method was found to be raid, easy, accepted by the patients and reliable. Also it is superior to the cytology samplers being more reliable
