Hysteroscopy utilizes carbon dioxide gas, dextran 70, or low-viscosity fluids for uterine distention. This review covers their indications, techniques, and potential complications in diagnostic and operative procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Hysteroscopy requires uterine distention for visualization.
  • Common distending media include carbon dioxide gas, dextran 70, and low-viscosity fluids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications, techniques, and complications of different uterine distending media used in hysteroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on hysteroscopy distending media.
  • Description of agents: carbon dioxide gas, dextran 70, low-viscosity fluids.

Main Results:

  • Each medium has specific indications and techniques for use.
  • Potential complications associated with each distending agent are discussed.
