- Abstract
- Because a wide variety of conditions can be diagnosed hysteroscopically, hysteroscopy has become a diagnostic gold standard. Through "operative" hysteroscopes, both the electrical current of the resectoscope and the energy of the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser have been effective tools in many cases and presented a new alternative to laparotomy and hysterectomy. The most frequent procedures are 1) endometrial ablation and partial endometrial ablation, 2) myomectomy for submucous myomas, 3) two-step myomectomy for large submucosal and intramural myomas, 4) hysteroscopic management of müllerian defects, and 5) hysteroscopic management of intrauterine adhesions.
