BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Office diagnostic hysteroscopy allows physicians to directly view the endometrial cavity, tubal ostia, and endocervical canal without taking the patient to the operating room (OR). We sought to determine whether office hysteroscopy performed to evaluate abnormal uterine bleeding decreases the need for hysteroscopy performed in the OR and the associated financial and ri...

Narrow band imaging (NBI) for detection of blood vessels and microstructures on the mucosal surface is used in gastrointestinal endoscopy since it can improve qualitative diagnosis and detection of lesion. However, there are no studies on flexible hysteroscopy using NBI. We performed flexible hysteroscopy with NBI for outpatients to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of endoscopic diag...

AIM Hysteroscopy is a routine procedure for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC). Moreover, with implementation of sentinel lymph node technique, a second hysteroscopy is necessary for technetium injection before performing lymphadenectomy. As yet, no data are available showing whether the time interval between hysteroscopy and definitive surgery, or the number of preoperative hysteroscopie...

Background For patients undergoing in vitro fertilization, lower pregnancy rates are observed in the presence of uterine cavity anomalies and correction of these anomalies has been associated with improved pregnancy rates.
