What is Hysteroscopic Surgery?

Hysteroscopic surgery involves evaluating the vagina, cervix, uterine cavity, and the tubal openings into the uterus using a specialized optical device inserted through the vagina.

Hysteroscopic surgery can be performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

If diseases or structural anomalies in the uterus are detected using a hysteroscope, diagnostic hysteroscopy is performed. The process of addressing the identified pathologies during the procedure is referred to as operative hysteroscopy.

What Procedures Can Be Performed Hysteroscopically?

• Removal of uterine lesions such as polyps or fibroids,
• Diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding,
• Observation of the uterine cavity, especially before IVF treatment or following unsuccessful treatments, and correction of identified pathologies,
• Release of intrauterine adhesions caused by previous procedures,
• Removal of foreign objects such as broken intrauterine device strings,
• Correction of congenital uterine anomalies,
• Removal of pregnancy-related remnants (e.g., retained placenta),
• Observation and biopsy of the uterine cavity in cases of postmenopausal bleeding.

What Are the Advantages of Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopic surgery allows for the diagnosis of numerous gynecological problems and provides appropriate treatment in a short time. Post-operative discomfort and pain are minimal. Patients can be discharged on the same day, eat normally, and return to work the next day.
