Abstract
The results obtained from the use or a new instrument designed to simplify endometrial aspiration were compared to those obtained by Gravlee Jet Wash. The observed difference in accuracy in the diagnosis of endometrial neoplasia between Jet Wash (95 per cent) and endouterine aspiration (91 per cent) is discussed. It is concluded that endometrial cytology by either method is a valuable complement to the Papanicolaou smear in asymptomatic postmenopausal women. The new endouterine aspiration instrument is recommended because of its greater simplicity.
