Abstract
A prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the use of the flexible plastic cannula for obtaining endometrial specimens for diagnostic purposes. Suction curettage was performed immediately prehysterectomy, the specimens evaluated, and then compared to similar specimens obtained by a metal curette. Another group of patients had suction curettage performed as an office procedure 24 to 72 hours before hysterectomy. The results of our study confirm the adequacy of this method for obtaining endometrial samples.Entities:
