Abstract
During hysteroscopic surgery, gas embolism was equally observed irrespective of the type of diathermia. However, more extensive embolism was observed when intravasation of distension fluid exceeded 1 L. These results question the acceptance of up to 2500 mL intravasation of distension fluid if bipolar diathermia is used.
