Abstract

The first attempt to use fluids to distend the uterine cavity in hysteroscopy was described in 1908 by David1. To overcome the known disadvantages arising from two characteristic features of the uterus (the slit-shaped cavity with the uterine walls practically in apposition and the ease with which endometrial bleeding occurred after contact with any instrument), Rubin2 later tried an arrangement in which water was irrigated over the lens of the hysteroscope by means of negative pressure. Rubin regarded the use of positive pressure as contraindicated. Unfortunately, his results were not satisfactory.
