Findings from one study which randomized patients with RPOC to hysteroscopic morcellation versus hysteroscopic resection were as follows: whilst both approaches were safe with high rates of complete tissue removal, hysteroscopic morcellation was significantly faster than
loop resection. Additionally, procedure time and number of scope reinsertions were also significantly lower in the morcellation group [20].

Tissues were taken by bipolar
loop resection and left nephrostomy was inserted.
Techniques used for mucosal resection after submucosal injection were
loop resection, cap-assisted resection, and band ligator-assisted resection [10-13, 18].
In a retrospective analysis, the TRUCLEAR morcellator reduced operative time by about two thirds for polyps and one half for Type 0 and Type I myomas, compared with monopolar
loop resection. (15) A later study of inexperienced ObGyn residents demonstrated shorter operative times and lower total fluid deficits for the TRUCLEAR morcellator, compared with resectoscopic procedures overall, during polypectomy and myomectomy of Type 0 and Type I myomas.

Patients with fibroids who were randomized to rollerball ablation also underwent electrocautery
loop resection of the fibroid, but the electrocautery was not used to remove the endometrium in general.
