Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleRandomised controlled Trial of Treatment of endometrial Polyps in case of post-menopausal bleeding
Study acronymRaTTeP
Study objectivesResection of endometrial polyp(s) in women with post-menopausal bleeding and endometrial thickness of more than 4 mm will lead to less recurrent bleeding than in women in whom no resection is performed.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEndometrial polyps, post-menopausal bleeding
InterventionResection will take place in the same session in which the polyp is diagnosed. Resection is performed following standard procedures used in the residential hospital. Resection of endometrial polyp is performed by the hysteroscopist using the instruments of his/her choice. In general smaller polyps (less than 5 mm) will be resected using mechanical instruments. Larger polyps will be resected using electrosurgical material, i.e. the monopolar polypsnare in or the bipolar electrode. The polyp is resected completely at its stalk. Resections can occur in more than one piece if necessary.

In patients that are randomised for expectant management a sham resection procedure will be performed during 5 minutes.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureRecurrence of post-menopausal bleeding
Secondary outcome measures1. Quality of life will be assessed using several standard self-administered psychometric measures with established reliability and validity:
1.1. 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)
1.2. State Trait Anxiety Score (STAI)
2. Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score
