Endometrial aspiration with the Karman cannula can be used to detect endometrial pathology. To document the feasibility and accuracy of endometrial aspiration with this cannula, 49 women were evaluated by this technique prior to diagnostic dilation and curettage (D&C). Completion rates for both endometrial aspiration and D&C were 96%. Endometrial aspiration yielded tissue adequate for histologic evaluation in 82% of cases as compared with 76% of D&C cases. Three cases of cancer (two endometrial and one endocervical) were identified by both techniques. A majority of patients expressed a preference for endometrial aspiration over D&C. Endometrial aspiration with the Karman cannula appears to be a convenient, accurate and acceptable method of detecting endometrial pathology.
使用卡曼套管进行子宫内膜抽吸可用于检测子宫内膜病变。为了证明使用该套管进行子宫内膜抽吸的可行性和准确性，在诊断性刮宫术（D&C）之前，对49名女性采用该技术进行了评估。子宫内膜抽吸和D&C的完成率均为96%。在82%的病例中，子宫内膜抽吸获得了足够用于组织学评估的组织，而D&C病例的这一比例为76%。两种技术均确诊了3例癌症病例（2例子宫内膜癌和1例宫颈癌）。大多数患者表示比起D&C，他们更喜欢子宫内膜抽吸。使用卡曼套管进行子宫内膜抽吸似乎是一种方便、准确且可接受的检测子宫内膜病变的方法。
