Preoperative low-pressure fluid minihysteroscopy does not increase the risk of intraperitoneal transport of endometrial carcinoma cells during the examination or the risk of pelvic recurrence at the 5-year follow-up. It does not seem to modify the recurrence rate, disease-free survival, and overall survival, although multicenter randomized trials and long-term follow-up are required to evaluate the overall oncologic outcomes of this procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
