Abstract:
Outpatient hysteroscopy and biopsy was performed on 403 occasions. Complications were rare (< 1%). Side-effects occurred in 70% of patients but rarely required treatment. Preoperative explanation of the type, severity and frequency of side-effects reduces patient anxiety at the time when side-effects occur.
