LUDEC Study - Pilot Study of the Lavage of the Uterine Cavity for the Diagnosis of Endometrial Carcinoma

The lavage will be performed in the operating theatre under general anesthesia. The ALPINE technique includes the following steps. A three way catheter (catheter for uterine and tubal lavage) is inserted into the cervical canal and a balloon is inflated to seal the cervical canal. The patient is put into anti-Trendellenburg positioning. Normal saline is slowly flushed into the uterine cavity and proximal tubes. After the lavage is finished, the balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed. A cap is put on the collection syringe and the syringe is sent to the laboratory.
