ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA: POSSIBILITIES OF ULTRASOUND AND MORPHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS
This study provides evidence for the invalidity of a number of Intrauterine interventions on the basis of ultrasonographic evidence. Objective. To estimate the disadvantages of two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography and the advantages of Pipell endometrial biopsy in the diagnosis of endometrial hyperplastic processes and to calculate correlations between the above techniques and histological findings. Subject and methods. A retrospective analysis was made using the case histories of reproductive-aged women with endometrial hyperplastic processes from Vitebsk gynecology un its in the past 10 years, as well as 128 ultrasound and postmortem reports. The data were statistically processed using the Statistica 6.0 software package. The value of p < 0.05 was regarded as significant. Results and conclusion. The paper gives data on the high informative value of endometrial aspiration biopsy in the concurrent use of cytological and histological studies of its specimens. It presents the developed algorithm for the diagnosis of endometrial hyperplastic processes using Pipell biopsy.
