Abstract

Introduction: Using misoprostol (analog prostaglandins E1, PGE1) prior to hysteroscopic intervention to induce ripening of cervix was implemented in gynecological problems management as submucosal myoma, endometrial polyps.1,2 Aim of study: The aim was to assess the effect of using misoprostol on easy dilatation of the cervix and on reducing the time needed for dilatation of cervix and the overall time needed for the procedure Patients and methods: An observational cross sectional study was performed on women who were complaining from vaginal bleeding and diagnosed to have an endometrial polyp either received misoprostol or not prior to hysteroscopic myomectomy and were subjected to hysteroscopic polypectomy under general anesthesia. Results: the time needed for cervical dilatation was more in the control group who did not receive misoprostol (P value >0.001). Conclusion: The use of a regimen of 400 mcg vaginal misoprostol administered 6 hours before hysteroscopic polypectomy is a simple, safe and effective method of cervical priming to facilitate the procedure with less total operative time , less time needed for cervical dilatation and less complications (as cervical lacerations or false passage).
