Hysteroscopic surgery

Hysteroscopic surgery is performed using a scope to operate inside the uterus.

As the hysteroscope is placed through the vagina, there are no incisions. Among the most common and useful procedures performed involve treatment of endometrial polyps and uterine fibroids. Endometrial ablation is performed with the hysteroscope. After the scope is inserted, a diagnosis of the problem can be determined, photographed, and the most appropriate treatment for your individual problem can be determined. Hysteroscopic surgery is relatively painless, and can almost always be performed as outpatient day surgery with return to work in 1 to 3 days.
