This review article examines the evolution and clinical applications of hysteroscopy within gynecological practice, tracing its historical development from early microhysteroscopy concepts to modern diagnostic and therapeutic uses. The authors discuss various procedural advancements, including the transition from CO2 to liquid distension media, which has improved visualization and safety during transcervical interventions. Key indications highlighted include the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding, intrauterine adhesions, and congenital anomalies, emphasizing the procedure's role in both diagnosis and minor surgical treatment. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as a diagnostic tool for uterine cavity pathology, though the paper's main focus is general gynecological practice rather than specifically addressing endometriosis or adenomyosis.
