Clinical analysis of endometrial polyps treated by intrauterine shaving system

Objective To evaluate the use of intrauterine shaving system and traditional plasma bipolar electrotomy system in the treatment of endometrial polyps. Methods A total of 103 endometrial polyp patients treated by shaving system (the shaving group) and plasma bipolar electrotomy (the electromy group) were enrolled and their clinical data was retrospectively analyzed. Both groups were compared for the duration of operation, the use of perfusion fluid and the incidence of postoperative adhesion. Results Compared with the shaving group, the electromy group presented remarkable increases in the average duration of operation, the amount of perfusion fluid used and the incidence of postoperative adhesion (P＜0.05). Meanwhile, there was no statistical difference in the incidence of intraoperative uterine perforation and postoperative recurrence between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions Intrauterine shaving system is safer and faster in the treatment of endometrial polyps, with better effectiveness, compared with plasma electrotomy system.
