Biopsia endometrial ambulatoria: Experiencia preliminar

Abstract

Objective: To present our initial experience with the ambulatory endometrial biopsy obtained with Cornier pipelle. Material and method: We used the device to obtain the endometrial sampling in 144 women with suspicious pathology of endometrium. Results: We obtained 131 endometrial specimens (91%), 110 were appropriate for histological diagnosis (76.4%). We met 3 women with endometrial carcinoma (2.7%) and 1 with hyperplastic atypia. Conclusion: Endometrial ambulatory biopsy is a sensitive, specific, efficient, safe and cheap procedure. This method improves the early diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma.
