Summary
Modern gynaecology has witnessed a rapid evolution and a widespread application of endoscopic techniques over the past 20 years, particularly those seen in hysteroscopy. This has been made possible mainly due to technological developments relating to instrumentation and equipment, along with continuous improvements related to surgical techniques. The advances in technology and techniques, have made hysteroscopy less painful, less invasive and an outpatient procedure . Together with transvaginal ultrasound it provides the gold standard for diagnosis of uterine pathology.
Hysteroscopy enlarges the diagnostic capacity by minor surgical operative procedures like removal of IUD, biopsy or removal of polyps and minor synechiolysis.
This chapter provides a description of basic hysteroscopic procedures including simple operative procedures like second- and third-generation endometrial ablation and grade 0 to grade 1 myomectomy for small myomas.
