Role of leuprolide acetate depot in hysteroscopic surgery: a controlled study.
Fertility and Sterility 1993 March
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate leuprolide acetate (LA) depot (Enantone Depot, Takeda, Italy) when administered preoperatively in hysteroscopic surgery.
DESIGN: Prospective, comparative study.
SETTING: University Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
PATIENTS: One hundred ninety-three patients (114 pretreated with LA depot and 79 controls) who underwent hysteroscopic surgery for uterine septa (group A), submucous fibroids (group B), and abnormal uterine bleeding (group C).
RESULTS: In groups B and C there was a significant reduction in the operating time, bleeding during the operation, and the amount of distention medium required after LA depot administration, but no significant differences in surgical feasibility or efficacy were found in group A patients after treatment.
CONCLUSION: Preoperative treatment with LA depot is effective in making hysteroscopic surgery easier.
