RESUMO

Introduction:hysteroscopy is indicated to treat intrauterine diseases such as endometrial polyps, submucous myomas, septate uterus, uterine synechiae and assessment of infertility. The main complications are uterine perforation, laceration of cervix, fluid overload, infection, hemorrhage. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the changes that ocurred in a operative hysteroscopy unit at a tertiary care university hospital in two different moments, analysing factors as operative time, procedure complexity and its complications. Methods: a retrospective descriptive study, including women undergoing operative hysteroscopy in two distinct periods (62 patients in 1999 and 100 in 2007), at CAISM/UNICAMP. Factors analysed were type and length of procedure, type and length of anesthesia, complications during the procedure, collected from medical reports. Results: there were a significant reduction in mean operative time (31,8 minutes to 19.7 minutes; p<0.0001) and mean anesthesia time (160 minutes to 141.7 minutes; p=0.0246). The most common procedure was polipectomy, increasing from 54.8% to 71% (p=0.03). The complication rate was 8.06% and 9%, respectively in 1999 and 2007, with 8% of uterine perforations. Conclusions: there was an evolution throughout the studied period as demonstrated by a decrease in operative time keeping the same complication rate, which is comparable to that in literature. More efforts should be taken to attempt less complications. Key words: operative hysteroscopy, complications
