Brief Summary

Hysteroscopic surgery is widely used for the treatment of gynecological diseases, such as septum, synechiae, polyp and intrauterine fibroids. The complication rate is estimated as 0.22% and includes uterine perforation, massive bleeding, and fluid overload. Operative hysteroscopy intravascular absorption (OHIA) syndrome refers to fluid overload complications from operative hysteroscopies and is considered a major complication. Report describing the clinical association between irrigation fluid temperature to intravasation rate itself or the risk of fluid overload are limited mainly to theoretical models. Due to the aforementioned, we aim to evaluated the role of temperature on absorption of the irrigation solution in hysteroscopic surgery.
