Systemic absorption of irrigation fluid can lead to a disturbed coagulation cascade. We compared the changes in hemostatic properties on using nonelectrolyte solution in monopolar hysteroscopic surgery (HS) with that on using isotonic saline in bipolar HS via rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) analysis.
