  Background: Excessive absorption of irrigating fluid during endoscopic surgical procedures produces central nervous system changes, circulatory disturbances and electrolyte imbalances. Wecompared glycine 1.5% versus glucose 5% as irrigating solutions in patients undergoing hysteroscopy for various diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Patients and methods: One hundred patients were randomized into two equal groups according to the irrigation fluid used. Fifty patients used glycine 1.5% solution as irrigating fluid (glycine group) and 50 patients used glucose 5% solution (glucose group) as irrigating fluid during hysteroscopy.Patient’s demographics, operative time, postoperative amino acid glycine assay and peri-operative complications were observed. Results: No difference was found in the immediate pre-operativ.. View More»
