title: [Use of GnRH analogs in hysteroscopic surgery].
abstract: Hysteroscopic surgery has been widely used in gynaecology for the treatment of endocavitary fibroids, synechias, uterine septum and abnormal uterine bleeding. Reports proposed preoperative medical therapy to improve the endometrials conditions. Attempts at inhibiting the thickness and vascularity of the endometrium and to reduce the fibroids size in preparation for hysteroscopic surgery by using different types of hormones have been reported. The suppression provided for a long period of time after the procedure by gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs, is likely to help inhibit endometrial regeneration and provided even better long time success, in endometrial ablation and submucous leiomyomatas hysteroscopic surgery. A literature review of the efficiency of the gonadotropins releasing hormone agonist, in endometrial inhibition before surgery and small regional experience is shown.
