Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am. 2004 Sep;31(3):641-54, xi. doi: 10.1016/j.ogc.2004.05.007.

Abstract

The indications for hysteroscopic procedures in gynecologic practice are ample and clearly charted: hysteroscopy is considered the gold standard not only for visualizing the cervical canal and the uterine cavity, but also for treating many different kinds of benign pathologies localized to that region. This article summarizes the authors' experience with this technique during the last 14 years, which have been devoted to improving the procedure by creating new instruments and modifying the technique.
