1Saint Joseph's Health Centre, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada. georgev@stj.stjosephs.london.on.ca
Objective:
To determine the feasibility and clinical outcome of using a new hysteroscopic bipolar electrosurgical system.
Design:
Pilot feasibility study.
Setting:
A university teaching hospital.
Patient(S):
Eight women with intrauterine lesions. Six women with impaired fertility and two with abnormal bleeding were selected.
Intervention(S):
Three septoplasties, two adhesiolysis procedures, two polypectomies, one myomectomy, and one endometrial ablation were performed with the Versapoint system (Gynecare Inc., Menlo Park, CA).
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Fertility, obstetric outcome, and menstrual blood loss.
Result(S):
Five of six patients conceived six normal fetuses. Menstrual blood loss improved significantly in the remaining two patients.
Conclusion(S):
The Versapoint system is an effective alternative in the treatment of intrauterine lesions.
