An examination of the uterine cavity using a hysteroscope or fibrescope.
A medical procedure in which an endoscope, a flexible tube containing a periscope-like viewing device, is introduced into the uterus through the vagina and cervix; often performed during a search for causes of infertility. Most reliably performed at the early part of a woman’s menstrual cycle, the hysteroscopy can help physicians detect fibroid tumors, polyps, or other abnormalities that might interfere with conception.
Visual inspection of the uterus, using an endoscope introduced through the vagina, done to examine the uterine lining, to remove a specimen for analysis, or to excise small polyps.
A procedure that allows direct visual examination of the uterus with a tubular instrument (endoscope) for diagnostic or treatment purposes.
A surgical procedure usually done by a gynecologist in which a hysteroscope (a thin, telescope like instrument) is inserted through a woman’s vagina and into the uterus to allow the doctor to view and treat a condition in the uterus. Hysteroscopy is useful for evaluating abnormalities in the uterus and can also be used to confirm the results of other tests.
Hysteroscopy is the direct visualization of the interior of the uterus using fibreoptic endoscopy. The technique, which allows minor surgical procedures to be carried out at the same time, has transformed the management of uterine disorders.
Inspection of the uterus by use of a special endoscope.
A medical technique involving the insertion of an endoscope through the cervix to visualize the cervix and uterus.
Hysteroscopy is a procedure that involves the use of a hysteroscope, a specific type of endoscope, to inspect the interior of the uterus and fallopian tubes with the goal of identifying any abnormalities. The procedure can be conducted under local anesthesia. A hysteroscope can also be used to carry out minor surgeries, such as the extraction of fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus.
