ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To analyse the efficiency of the H Pipelle endometrial sampler at "no touch" (vaginoscopic) diagnostic hysteroscopy in terms of biopsy adequacy for histological diagnosis. STUDYDESIGN:
Retrospective descriptive study of 200 premenopausal women including comparison with previously published data on traditional biopsy instruments.RESULTS:
Biopsy was adequate in 82% of cases overall, rising to 87% in those without submucous fibroids or polyps. Comparison with published data on other biopsy instruments shows that the H Pipelle is at least as efficient.CONCLUSION:
The H Pipelle appears to be at least as effective as traditional endometrial samplers even after hysteroscopy but allows hysteroscopy and biopsy to be done using a purely "no touch" (vaginoscopic) technique.
