  • Title: [Is consecutive curettage of the corpus uteri indicated in every conization case?].

    Abstract:
    Endometrial curettage at the time of conisation is often performed as a routine procedure, even when indication for this treatment is rather unclear. 593 conisations including curettages were performed at the I. Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, of the University of Vienna and were evaluated retrospectively. Only 3 patients with a mild endometrial hyperplasia were found. Therefore, in our opinion, there is no indication for a curettage at the time of conisation, if a woman is under the age of 35 years and if there is no other specific indication for sampling the endometrium, based on high risk factors, physical examination, history or abnormal glandular cells found on cervical cytology. Such management would result in reducing the costs and the risk of infection in intrauterine operations.
