[Usefulness of hysteroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine adhesions].

During hysteroscopy intrauterine adhesions were found in 96 patients in a group of women with disturbances of fertility and menstruation. The diagnosis and treatment were carried out with a Wolf hysteroscope using CO2 as the expanding gas. The purpose of the study was evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment of these adhesions by means of hysteroscopy. Normal menstrual bleeding after this treatment was achieved in 75% of the treated patients, and 51% of the patients conceived. Hysteroscopy was useful in the diagnosis, treatment and posttreatment control in cases of Asherman adhesions.

[Usefulness of hysteroscopy in diagnosing sterility].

Sterility is a severe social problem. Using hysteroscopy, which is possible thanks to development of medical technology, seems to be an important improvement in diagnostics and therapy of sterility. The aim of this study is evaluation of the usefulness of hysteroscopy in diagnostics of sterility. There was a group of 106 women with diagnosed primary sterility and 82 women with secondary sterility. Wolf and Storz hysteroscopes were used during examinations, whereas the uterine cavity was dilated by CO2 using Wolf Metrometer 2121. During this examination a normal uterine cavity was found in most cases (32.9%). The next findings were: endometrial polyps (27.6%), intrauterine adhesions (23.4%), sub-serous myomas (14.3%), and congenital uterine abnormalities (1.5%). Comparing outcomes of hysteroscopy in both groups of sterile women, the high rate of intrauterine adhesions in the secondary sterility (43.9%) was detected. Performing hysteroscopy in patients with sterility increases considerably the range of informations about reproductive organs. Also the possibility of eye-controlled biopsy, deliberation of intrauterine adhesions or removing of endometrial polyps during endoscopic procedure increases the value of hysteroscopy.

Arrhythmia during mitral commissurotomy.

The authors studied in detail arrhythmias recorded during 110 operations of mitral commissurotomy. In all cases supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias developed and their type, as well as frequency, depended on the stage of operation. Life-endangering ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular flutter or fibrillation) were never observed and ventricular tachycardia occurring when the orifice was being dilated always regressed spontaneously when a Dubost dilator was removed. Rapid differential diagnosis of arrhythmias is facilitated greatly by additional ECG recording from oesophageal lead. Indications for pharmacological treatment are discussed. This treatment was used, however, in several cases only.
