Procedure Ready: Ob/Gyn

Before Your First: Hysteroscopy


Listen Later

Hysteroscopy lets you look directly inside the uterus to diagnose and treat intrauterine pathology. This episode covers the three basic steps of the procedure, the difference between diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, and the most feared complication – hyponatremia from fluid overload.

Show Outline:

  • What Is Hysteroscopy? – Looking inside the uterus with a scope
  • Steps
    1. Dilate the cervix
    2. Distend the uterus with fluid
    3. Look around – identify pathology and tubal ostia. Remove pathology if using an operative scope, Myosure, or another resectoscope.
    4. Feared Complication – Hyponatremia from excessive hypotonic fluid absorption
