I-48: Hysteroscopic Surgery

I-23: Hysteroscopic Complications

Hysteroscopic complications are infrequent. Major complications include: 1. Uterine perforation that is the most common complication of operative hysteroscopy (0.8 - 1.6 %). The perforation rate is less during diagnostic hysteroscopy. 2. Bowel or bladder injury which is rare, but may occur in association with uterine perforation or as a result of use of electrical current. 3. Cervical laceratio...

I-48: Ultrasound Deformable Model for Virtual Surgery Simulation of Oocyte Retrieval in Infertility Programs

Background The use of a medical simulator should enhance the goals of minimally invasive surgery: patient safety, cosmesis, shortening the length of hospital admissions, and reducing cost. Using an innovative approach to the handling of ultrasound images in virtual reality simulation, this article describes a process that employs a hybrid model of deformable models that can be applied in the te...
