This chapter describes hysteroscopy as an endoscopic inspection of the uterine cavity through the cervix, used both for diagnosing intrauterine pathology and for surgical intervention via operative hysteroscopy. It briefly frames the procedure historically and by instrumentation context, citing developments and studies involving techniques and instruments such as CO2 influence during hysteroscopy and laser-based endometrial treatment. The key contribution is a general overview of hysteroscopy instrumentation rather than presentation of original data or outcomes. The paper does not explicitly state study limitations because it functions as a didactic chapter. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Hysteroscopy is derived from the two Greek words ‘hystera’ meaning uterus and ‘skopeo’ meaning to view. Hysteroscopy is the procedure of inspection of the uterine cavity by endoscopy through the cervix. It is used as a diagnostic tool for intrauterine pathology as well as a method for surgical intervention (operative hysteroscopy).
