Abstract

Although hysteroscopy has been available for many years, its clinical applications have been restricted by numerous technical considerations. Among these are the need for (1) anaesthesia, (2) selection of a medium suitable for distention, and (3) safe and flexible optic systems. In recent years, these deficiencies have been remedied to a certain extent. It is now generally possible to perform hysteroscopy in a hospital or outpatient setting, using general or local anaesthesia, and selecting one of a number of methods to distend the uterine cavity. Visual clarity has been improved with the introduction of new concepts in optical systems which can provide a changing depth of visual field1.
