Operative hysteroscopy preserving virginity: a new technique

Area of Science:

• Gynecology
• Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

• Intrauterine pathologies require surgical intervention.
• Preservation of hymenal integrity is crucial for certain patient populations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a novel operative hysteroscopy technique.
• To achieve virginity preservation during hysteroscopic treatment of intrauterine pathologies.

Main Methods:

• A virginity-preserving operative hysteroscopy technique was developed.
• The procedure involves cervical traction to the posterior hymenal opening followed by hysteroscopy.
• Office hysteroscopy precedes conventional operative hysteroscopy.

Main Results:

• The technique was successfully performed in all patients with annular hymenal morphology.
• Complete resection of intrauterine pathologies was achieved in all cases.
• No inadvertent hymenal injury occurred during the procedures.

Conclusions:

• The presented technique allows for effective treatment of intrauterine pathologies while preserving the hymen.
• This method is suitable for patients requiring virginity preservation.
