Is the use of inhaled sevoflurane during operative hysteroscopy associated with increased glycine absorption compared to intravenous propofol for maintenance of anesthesia?
The results of the present study show that the use of inhaled sevoflurane is associated with significantly increased glycine 1.5% absorption compared to intravenous propofol for the maintenance of anesthesia. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the possible mechanisms and risk factors involved in the higher absorption induced by sevoflurane.
No relations between obstruction and tumour size or lymph node metastasis were found. Thus, obstructions only occur because of other factors and do not contribute to tumor growth. Utilizing effective screening programs to determine obstructions is recommended.
