What is Hysteroscopic
Hysteroscopy is a form of minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon inserts a tiny telescope (hysteroscope) through the cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the uterine cavity on a video monitor. The uterine cavity is then inspected for any abnormality. The surgeon examines the shape of the uterus, the lining of the uterus and looks for any evidence of intrauterine pathology (fibroids or polyps). The surgeon also attempts to visualize the openings to the fallopian tubes (tubal ostia).
Compared with other, more invasive procedures, hysteroscopy may provide the following advantages:
1. Shorter hospital stay
2. Shorter recovery time
3. Less pain medication needed after surgery
4. Avoidance of hysterectomy
5. Possible avoidance of "open" abdominal surgery
