title: [Excessive reabsorption of irrigation fluid during operative hysteroscopy for uterine myoma].
abstract: Operative hysteroscopy procedures can present complications connected to necessity of kneeping, usually with low viscosity fluids, an uniform distension of uterine cavity. The instilled solutions are reabsorbed through the peritoneum and open uterine venous channels producing a hyperhydration syndrome. The case report shows the rising up of tis syndrome during a hysteroscopy for an uterine myoma resection. The physiopathology includes cardiovascular overload and haemodilution, causing pulmonary, cerebral and tissutal oedema. In this case report the volumes of arterial oxygen saturation and end tidal carbon dioxide obtained on line were the first warning signals. A high CVP value, a plasmatic reduction of Na, albumin, proteins, haemoglobin, haematocrit and osmolarity reflected the excessive fluid reabsorption. For this reason the necessity, during these surgical methods, of considering some practical indications and the absolutely necessary use of clinical and biochemical monitoring systems for these patients.
