Abstract
Background: Mechanical hysteroscopic tissue removal (mHTR) systems are widely used for removing intrauterine pathology. Given the startup and procedural costs for electrically powered mechanical units, disposable manual mHTR systems have been developed. Methods: With little published, we describe its effectiveness for hysteroscopic intrauterine polypectomy. Results: One-hundred fifty-seven infertile women underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy with the manual mHTR device. Complete removal was accomplished in all but three cases, with blood loss being <10 mL and all specimens deemed sufficient for histopathologic diagnosis. Conclusions: These results suggest that the disposable manual mHTR system is effective in removing endometrial polyps. Head-to-head comparisons with other alternative technologies are needed.
