Endometrial biopsy protocol
Collection of Endometrial biopsies: The subject will be placed in lithotomy on a GYN examination table and a bimanual exam will be performed to confirm uterine position. An Explora (CooperSurgical or similar) FDA-approved vacuum suction biopsy device will be used to collect all samples using standard technique described as follows: Following an antiseptic wash (betadine or hibiclens) of the cervix, the biopsy curette will be passed through the cervix to the uterine fundus, the vacuum syringe will be attached, and a brief curettage preformed. For analgesia, subjects may elect to receive intrauterine lidocaine 2% solution, 5cc, delivered through the biopsy curette prior to the curettage procedure. If the curette cannot be passed easily, a paracervical block of 1% lidocaine (10 cc) will be administered, followed by placement of a tenaculum, and sequential cervical dilation as needed. Following collection, the specimen samples will immediately be placed in formalin and transported to the location specified in the protocol for further processing.
