OUTCOMES OF ENDOMETRIAL POLYP SURGERY USING THE TRUCLEAR SYSTEM AT THE NATIONAL HOSPITAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of endometrial polyp surgery using the TruClear system at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 148 patients with endometrial polyps who underwent surgery using the TruClear system at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology from August 2022 to June 2024. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 38.4 ± 7.2 years, with most patients aged 30-39 years (41.9%). The primary reason for hospitalization was abnormal uterine bleeding (57.4%), mainly manifested as menorrhagia and metrorrhagia (74%). Diagnosis was primarily based on saline infusion sonography (91.9%) and/or 2D transvaginal ultrasound (93.2%). Most patients had a single polyp (76.4%), and the polyp base was most commonly attached to the posterior wall, anterior wall, fundus, left lateral wall, and right lateral wall of the uterus, in descending order. The surgical success rate was 96.6%, and the complication rate was 2.1%, including bleeding and uterine perforation. Conclusion: The surgical success rate was high, and the complication rate was low.
