Assessment of diagnostic aspiration curettage as an outpatient procedure.

Abstract:

:Aspiration curettage proved acceptable to patients and medical staff when incorporated into a busy outpatient practice. The diagnostic reliability of curettings obtained was shown to be 93.5 per cent accurate. In all patients where mucus only is obtained, where symptoms persist or recur, or when aspiration curettage is too distressing, conventional curettage is mandatory. :An evaluative study of diagnostic aspiration curettage in an outpatient setting is presented. Curettage without analgesia was performed on 208 patients. 93.5% of the diagnoses were confirmed to be accurate. The majority of the diagnostic errors involved the inability to obtain adequate samples. Conventional curettage is mandatory when mucus only is obtained, when symptoms persist, or when aspiration curettage is too distressing. Patients who required diagnostic curettage preferred the aspiration curettage procedure. Aspiration curettage is considered a safe, acceptable procedure, and its use on an outpatient basis will expedite diagnosis.
