  • Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for managing these lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of polypectomy combined with endometrial resection for treating endometrial polyps in postmenopausal women.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study was conducted involving 66 postmenopausal women with endometrial polyps.
  • Sixty-four patients underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy followed by endometrial resection.
  • Follow-up included transvaginal sonography for one year.

Main Results:

  • The procedure demonstrated a very low risk of major complications.
