title: [Use of aspiration curettage in ambulatory patients].
abstract: In 90 patients with metrorrhagia, aged 20-75, aspiration curettage with constant aspiration by a vacuum pump was applied. The most frequent clinical diagnosis was metrorrhagia dysfunctionalis (in 55 patients). The aspiration was performed without cervical dilatation, by using one ampoule of valoron i. v. by a cannula 3 mm in diameter and a chamber with a built-in sieve for collecting aspiration material. Histological analysis revealed endometrial carcinoma in 4 cases, post-abortion conditions in 29 cases, endometrial hyperplasia in 28 cases, while in the remaining patients the endometrium was normal. In 4 cases there was not enough material for analysis.
