NCT ID NCT02472197

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested a new device called a hysteroscopic morcellator against the standard resectoscope for removing uterine polyps. The goal was to see which method is faster and safer. The trial involved 90 adults with a single polyp. The morcellator uses suction and mechanical cutting, while the standard tool uses electrical current. Researchers measured surgery time, complications, and how complete the removal was.
