title: [Role of endo-uterine resection using hysteroscopy in the treatment of sub-mucous hemorrhagic fibroma in the peri-menopausal period].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study retrospectively the long-term outcome after hysteroscopic treatment for intra-uterine fibromas.
  
  
  METHODS
  From October 1987 to January 1993, endo-uterine glycocol resection was performed in 196 patients with intra-uterine fibromas. The operation had to be repeated in 39 patients due to incomplete resection or recurrent symptomatology. Patients presented with menometrorrhage.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Intra-operative complications were rare, mainly uterine perforations (7 cases) or metabolic syndromes due to reabsorption of glycine (5 cases). Mean follow-up was 2.5 years. In all 196 women consulted for bleeding, good results were achieved in 81.1%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endo-uterine resection is a sure, effective and long-lasting treatment for intra-uterine fibromas.
