As already demonstrated by several clinical studies, dilation and curettage and the other blind procedures have a low diagnostic accuracy for evaluating women with uterine disorders. By contrast, there is a large body of evidence showing that hysteroscopy is highly sensitive and specific in diagnosing endouterine diseases. Therefore, currently, hysteroscopy should be considered ‘gold standard’ in uterine cavity evaluation, and blind procedures should be abandoned. In fact, as suggested by many reports, the risk of missing premalignant or malignant endometrial lesions with these procedures is not negligible.

Abstract

As already demonstrated by several clinical studies, dilation and curettage and the other blind procedures have a low diagnostic accuracy for evaluating women with uterine disorders. By contrast, there is a large body of evidence showing that hysteroscopy is highly sensitive and specific in diagnosing endouterine diseases. Therefore, currently, hysteroscopy should be considered ‘gold standard’ in uterine cavity evaluation, and blind procedures should be abandoned. In fact, as suggested by many reports, the risk of missing premalignant or malignant endometrial lesions with these procedures is not negligible.
