Ga. Vilos, Intrauterine surgery using a new coaxial bipolar electrode in normal saline solution (Versapoint*): a pilot study, FERT STERIL, 72(4), 1999, pp. 740-743
Objective: To determine the feasibility and clinical outcome of using a new
hysteroscopic bipolar electrosurgical system.
Design: Pilot feasibility study.
Setting: A university teaching hospital.
Patient(s): Eight women with intrauterine lesions. Six women with impaired
fertility and two with abnormal bleeding were selected.
Intervention(s): Three septoplasties, two adhesiolysis procedures, two poly
pectomies, one myomectomy, and one endometrial ablation were performed with
the Versapoint system (Gynecare Inc., Menlo Park, CA).
Main Outcome Measure(s): Fertility, obstetric outcome, and menstrual blood
loss.
Result(s): Five of six patients conceived six normal fetuses. Menstrual blo
od loss improved significantly in the remaining two patients.
Conclusion(s): The Versapoint system is an effective alternative in the tre
atment of intrauterine lesions. (Fertil Steril(R) 1999;72.740-3. (C) 1999 b
