Protocol summary

Summary
Objectives Endometrial biopsy has less use as first-line diagnostic method for abnormal uterine bleeding. In this study, the results of endometrial biopsy and diagnostic curettage will be compared for endometrial histopathology, adequacy obtained endometrial tissue by biopsy, complications and failure rates of these methods. First aim is evaluation of Pipelle techniques validity and accuracy for determining of endometrial histopathology in patients who present with abnormal uterine bleeding, especially for rolling out of endometrial cancer and second aim is evaluation the adequacy of obtained sample for histopathological examination, accompanying complications and the failure rate of pipelle method and comparison with diagnostic curettage technique. In this study, the failure rate is presence of any type of pathology in diagnostic curettage specimens that have not been diagnosed with pipelle. Design, Setting and conduct This is an analytical study which perform on women with abnormal uterine bleeding by sequential sampling techniques for women who will enrolled in study. All patients underwent clinical and laboratory examinations. Participants, inclusion and exclusion criteria All women older than 35 years with abnormal uterine bleeding will enroll after informed consent. All women with pregnancy; hormonal disorders including thyroid, hepatic and renal diseases, lupus, diabetes; endometrial thickness less than 4 millimeter; lower genital tract infection will exclude from study. Intervention Diagnostic intervention is endometrial biopsy which does by pipelle and diagnostic standard reference is endometrial sampling by curettage. Both techniques are performed in the operating room and at the same time. First pipelle enter to uterine cavity without cervical dilatation, then rotate and retract (pull back) for endometrial sampling. These samples are labeled “A”. Then standard diagnostic curettage will do and samples are labeled “B”. Both samples are sent for pathology that is unaware sampling method. These samples will evaluate histopathologically. Main outcome Histopathology reports for sample by pipelle and diagnostic curettage are compared and diagnostic curettage report used as the gold standard.
