<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The aim of the study was to analyse the intraoperative parameters of hysteroscopic morcellation (HM) and conventional resectoscopy in the treatment of uterine polyps (UP). A total of 177 patients with ultrasound imaging of UP were included in a prospective study from February 2015 to February 2017. Out of them, 98 (55.4%) underwent HM and 79 (44.6%) had hysteroscopic resection (HR). We analyzed the following intraoperative parameters: total duration of the procedure, total operating time, time for dilation, actual operating time for HM/HR, the total amount of fluid distension media and fluid deficit. The mean operating time, measured as a total duration of the procedure, total operating time and actual operating time, was significantly shorter in the HM group, as compared to HR group, 8.27 and 19.48 minutes (min) – p&lt;0.001, 6.15 and 16.33 min (p&lt;0.001), 3.28 and 11.70 min (p&lt;0.001), respectively. The total amount of fluid distension media was trustworthy lower in the HM group compared to HR, 446.02 ml and 2225.57 millilitres (ml) – p&lt;0.001, respectively, as well as for the fluid deficit parameter – respectively 83.78 ml and 413.48 ml (p&lt;0.001). This warrants the assumption that HM is an effective alternative to conventional resectoscopy for removal of UP with a favorable perioperative outcome.</p></abstract>

The mean operating time, measured as a total duration of the procedure, total operating time and actual operating time, was significantly shorter in the HM group, as compared to HR group, 8.27 and 19.48 minutes (min) – p<0.001, 6.15 and 16.33 min (p<0.001), 3.28 and 11.70 min (p<0.001), respectively. The total amount of fluid distension media was trustworthy lower in the HM group compared to HR, 446.02 ml and 2225.57 millilitres (ml) – p<0.001, respectively, as well as for the fluid deficit parameter – respectively 83.78 ml and 413.48 ml (p<0.001). This warrants the assumption that HM is an effective alternative to conventional resectoscopy for removal of UP with a favorable perioperative outcome.
