[Office hysteroscopy - management and results]

Area of Science:

• Gynecology
• Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

• Office hysteroscopy is an evolving diagnostic and therapeutic tool.
• The vaginoscopic approach offers a less invasive method for intrauterine procedures.

Purpose:

• To summarize current knowledge on office hysteroscopy.
• To review the utility of office hysteroscopy in managing benign intrauterine pathologies.

Summary:

• Office hysteroscopy enables direct visualization of the uterine cavity.
• Benign intrauterine pathologies like polyps, small submucous myomas, and adhesions can be treated in an outpatient setting.
• Procedures such as endometrial biopsy, polyp resection, and adhesion lysis are feasible without anesthesia or analgesia.

Impact:

• Office hysteroscopy provides a comfortable and complication-free alternative for many gynecological procedures.
• This approach enhances patient comfort and reduces the need for more invasive surgical interventions.
