What does this research mean for the field?

While both hysteroscopic cold knife resection (HCK) and electrosurgical resection (HER) are safe and effective for treating endometrial polyps, HER provides faster recovery and improved quality of life, whereas HCK offers better endometrial preservation for women with fertility concerns. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To compare the effects of hysteroscopic cold knife resection versus hysteroscopic electrosurgical resection on recovery, endometrial thickness, and quality of life in women with endometrial polyps.

Overview

Retrospective study reveals electrosurgical resection improves recovery and quality of life over cold knife excision in endometrial polyps, indicating treatment should match fertility goals.

Key Points

To compare the effects of hysteroscopic cold knife resection versus hysteroscopic electrosurgical resection on recovery, endometrial thickness, and quality of life in women with endometrial polyps.
Retrospective review of 120 patients with endometrial polyps undergoing either cold knife resection (n=53) or electrosurgical resection (n=67).
Measured surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization time, endometrial thickness recovery, complications, recurrence, and quality of life using SF-36 scores at six months postoperatively.
Electrosurgical resection achieved significantly shorter operative times, reduced bleeding, and faster recovery compared to cold knife resection.
Cold knife resection promoted significantly better endometrial thickness recovery, while complication and recurrence rates did not differ between cohorts.
Multivariate regression confirmed electrosurgical resection as an independent factor associated with superior quality of life scores at six months.
