The advantages and problems as well as the clinical reliability of aspiration curettage of the uterus were investigated. In 15% of the 665 cases, the procedure could not be proceeded by technical reason or by insufficient material for histological diagnosis. On the other hand, diagnostic accuracy in endometrial cancer is as reliable as in conventional curettage with general anesthesia. The curettage can be performed easily with minimal costs as an outpatient procedure; this is the main advantage of aspiration curettage. (Authors' modified)
