Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Submucous myomas are a common gynecological condition requiring effective treatment.
  • Hysteroscopic resection presents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical interventions.
  • Evaluating endoscopic techniques is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the anatomical and functional results of hysteroscopic resection of submucous myomas.
  • To identify and report the main complications associated with this endoscopic procedure.
  • To establish the efficacy of hysteroscopic myomectomy in managing uterine fibroids.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 105 hysteroscopic resections of intracavitary fibroids.
  • Data collected over an 8-year period (January 2003 - December 2010).
  • Inclusion of preoperative assessments (ultrasound, hysteroscopy, hydrosonography) and surgical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The mean patient age was 41 years and 5 months, with menstrual irregularities being the primary symptom.
  • Complete resection was achieved in 83.8% of cases, with a mean fibroid size of 3.08 cm.
  • Significant symptom improvement, including cessation of bleeding, was observed in 90% of patients post-procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Hysteroscopic resection of submucous fibroids is a uterine-cavity-sparing procedure.
  • The technique demonstrates satisfactory functional results, particularly in resolving bleeding symptoms.
  • Low morbidity rates confirm hysteroscopic resection as a safe and effective treatment option.
