Endoscopic inspection of the endocervical canal (tracheloscopy) appears to be a rapid, reliable diagnostic technique to confirm the presence of endometrial neoplasms involving the endocervix found at fractional curettage. A series is presented in which 68% of patients with "positive" endocervical curettage were found to have no involvement of the endocervix by tracheloscopy and biopsy, which was confirmed by subsequent hysterectomy. The technique is discussed, and the use of this procedure in the staging of endometrial malignancies is recommended.
宫颈管内镜检查(气管镜检查)似乎是一种快速、可靠的诊断技术,用于确认分段刮宫时发现的累及宫颈的子宫内膜肿瘤的存在。本文报道了一组病例,其中68%宫颈刮出物“阳性”的患者经气管镜检查和活检发现宫颈未受累,随后的子宫切除术证实了这一点。文中讨论了该技术,并建议将此方法用于子宫内膜恶性肿瘤的分期。
