Research/current and future developments

Hysteroscopy has developed from a purely diagnostic service to a valuable operative procedure. In addition, more uterine surgeries can now be performed by hysteroscopy in the outpatient setting; endometrial ablation previously only performed by hysteroscopy can now be done without endoscopy.

First-generation hysteroscopic treatment of the endometrium does remain an important treatment for women with heavy periods (73). Second-generation known hysteroscopic techniques are popular due to their ease of use and are independent of the surgical skill of the operator.

Outpatient hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy offers direct visualization of the entire uterine cavity, and provides the possibility of performing the biopsy of suspected lesions that can be missed by dilatation and curettage. It has been demonstrated that dilatation and curettage misses 62% of intra­uterine pathologies (74).
