. The purpose of this work is1) to answer the question whether the procedure of the Vabra aspiration curettage without anesthesia is well tolerated by the patients; 2) to asses the reliability of the Vabra curettage and to compare it with the conventional curettage in the diagnosis of various endometrial disorders.262 patients were submitted to the procedure of fractional suctioncurettage without anesthesia; the method succeeded in 261 cases. In 205 cases the histological diagnosis was compared to the diagnosis from a conventional curettage or from a hysterectomy specimen. The method gives histologically reliable results. The tolerance by the patients was good. There were no complications.
