Abstract

During a period of 2 years (1981-1982), 226 outpatient endometrial aspiration curettages (EACs) were performed with a new aspiration curette that had been developed by the authors. All patients had risk for general anesthesia. From 17 of them, endometrial polyps were removed by the EAC. Endometrial carcinoma was diagnosed in eight others, adenomatous hyperplasia in four, and cystic hyperplasia in two women. The main advantage of the new curette is the ability to aspirate endometrial polyps through its modified opening.
