Manually driven versus motor driven hysteroscopic tissue removal system for polypectomy: Long-term results

Multiple studies have investigated the effectiveness of several hysteroscopic techniques for polypectomy [1 –4]. Polyp recurrence occurs in 4.9 % [5]. This appears to be lower when using mechanical hysteroscopic tissue removal systems (TRS) compared to electrosurgical resection [6]. With increasing follow-up time, more polyp recurrences are observed [7]. Other risk factors for polyp recurrence are a l arger polyp size and the occurrence of symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) during follow-up time.
