Hysteroscopy and resectoscopy – operative methods for treating uterine cavity lesions

Safe and minimally invasive removal of uterine cavity lesions.

What is hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a modern, minimally invasive surgical, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedure used in the diagnosis and treatment of lesions within the uterine cavity.

A hysteroscope is a long, flexible tube ending with a miniature camera and a light source. It is inserted into the uterine cavity through a speculum, and images of the interior of the organ are displayed on a monitor. This device has a diameter of 7 mm with a working channel, allowing the introduction of appropriate micro-surgical instruments during the procedure, which are used to remove, for example, endometrial polyps or small submucosal fibroids, cut minor adhesions, or take targeted biopsies.

Resectoscopy is one of the more advanced hysteroscopic techniques. Using a special instrument – the resectoscope, which has a larger diameter than the hysteroscope, many procedures are performed within the uterine cavity aimed at excising unwanted lesions such as fibroids or polyps, endometrium, or various types of adhesions.

Indications for performing hysteroscopy

The main indications for performing hysteroscopic procedures are:

  • suspected lesions within the uterine cavity – polyp, submucosal fibroid, endometrial cancer, endometrial hyperplasia, intrauterine adhesions
  • postmenopausal bleeding
  • prolonged, abnormally heavy bleeding from the genital tract in women of reproductive age
  • infertility
  • recurrent miscarriages
  • suspected retained products of conception after delivery or miscarriage in the uterine cavity
  • suspected symptomatic uterine anomalies
  • need to verify histopathological examination obtained by other means
  • removal of a „retracted” or lodged intrauterine device

FAQ

Preparation for the procedure
It is important to remember that operative hysteroscopy requires certain preparations. It is necessary to perform laboratory tests ordered by the doctor before the procedure – these can be done at our Wilmed clinic. Qualification for hysteroscopy is always made by the doctor, taking into account test results and the patient’s medical history.
Pre-procedure recommendations
It is important to treat any vaginal infection before the procedure. In menstruating patients, the procedure should be performed in the first phase of the cycle, between days 6 and 15. The patient should also abstain from vaginal intercourse between menstruation and the day of the hysteroscopy.
Description of the hysteroscopy procedure
The hysteroscopy procedure is performed transvaginally – therefore, there is no disruption of the abdominal wall continuity. It involves inserting a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix – a device that allows the doctor to view the inside of the uterus and the shape of the uterine cavity, the openings of the fallopian tubes, and to assess whether there are any abnormal structures in the uterine cavity such as polyps, adhesions, or submucosal fibroids. If changes are confirmed, they are immediately removed, and the collected material is sent for histopathological examination. The procedure usually lasts about half an hour and is performed under short-term intravenous or regional anesthesia, which ensures the woman does not experience any pain.
Zalecenia po zabiegu
After the hysteroscopy procedure, the patient usually requires rest on the day the procedure was performed, also due to the psychological stress associated with the procedure. Very often, the next day the patient can return to work fully physically and mentally fit. Vaginal spotting may persist for up to 7 days after the procedure. General hygiene rules apply. There is no strictly defined prohibition on sexual intercourse after hysteroscopy; however, after diagnostic hysteroscopy, it is not recommended to have intercourse for 2 days, and after operative hysteroscopy for one week.
Contraindications to performing the hysteroscopy procedure
It should be remembered that, as with any other examination or procedure, there are certain contraindications to performing hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy is not performed in women during menstruation, pregnancy, suspected pregnancy, or with extensive inflammatory conditions within the genital organs.
