The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the MyoSure Tissue Removal System when used by community gynecologists in an office setting for the treatment of patients with symptomatic intrauterine polyps and submucosal fibroids.
Approximately one hundred subjects will be enrolled in a randomized, comparative setting study conducted at 10-15 investigational sites. Sixty subjects will be randomized to undergo treatment in an office setting, and 40 subjects will be randomized to undergo treatment in a hospital or ambulatory surgical center (ASC) setting. Subjects will undergo a hysteroscopic tissue removal procedure to remove intrauterine polyps, type 0 fibroids, or type I fibroids. Saline infused sonohysterogram images (SIS) obtained at three months post treatment will be compared to pre-treatment images, to determine the percent reduction in target pathology volume. Additionally, subject self-reported pain scores (as rated on an 11 point scale) will compare pain occurring during the treatment procedure to the average pain level experienced during a PAP smear. Economic data will be collected and compared between the two treatment settings.

Percent Reduction in Target Pathology Volume
Percent reduction in target pathology volume, compared between pre-treatment baseline and 3 months post MyoSure treatment
Time frame: Three months post treatment
Percent of Subjects That Achieve 100% Removal of Target Pathology
Percent volume reduction of target pathology between baseline and month three post treatment assessments, as measured by saline infused sonohysterogram.
Time frame: Three months post treatment
Subject Self-reported Pain Score Occurring During the Treatment Procedure
Mean difference in pain score compared between subject-rated assessment of pain occurring during a pap smear and pain occurring during the MyoSure treatment procedure, based on the Wong-Baker Faces Rating Scale (FRS)
Time frame: 1 hour post treatment
