Summary:
Objective: Sum up the knowledge about office hysteroscopy.
Type of study: Review of literature and our own 5 years of experience.
Setting: Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University Prague
and General Teaching Hospital Prague, Prague.
Methods: Compilation of data from scientific literature and 5 years of our own experience with office hysteroscopy.
Conclusions: Hysteroscopy provides optical evaluation of uterine cavity. Most of the benign intrauterine
organics pathologies could be managed in an outpatient setting with a vaginoscopic approach without
any anaesthesia and analgesia. Using that approach we can recommend to perform endometrial target
biopsy, resection of endometrial polyps up to 1.5 cm and pedunculated submucous myomas up to 1 cm
as well as resection of filmy intrauterine adhesions. Method is comfortable for well managed patients and
practically complication-free.
Key words:
office hysteroscopy, vaginoscopic approach, endometrial biopsy, endometrial polyp, submucous
myoma, intrauteine adhesions.
