A hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for the examination of the inner workings of the uterus (uterus). This is achieved through the use of a hysteroscope, a narrow telescope equipped with a light and camera at its end. The images captured by the hysteroscope are transmitted to a monitor, enabling clinicians to gain a comprehensive view of the uterus.

This comprehensive guide serves as a valuable resource for clinicians seeking to utilize hysteroscopy in the investigation and diagnosis of gynaecological disorders and diseases. The second edition of this book has undergone a thorough revision and update, incorporating new topics to provide clinicians with the most up-to-date information in the field.

The book begins with an introduction to the technique, delving into the anatomy and physiology of the uterus. It also provides an overview of other imaging technologies, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that are commonly used in conjunction with hysteroscopy.

Following this introductory chapter, the book proceeds to explain the hysteroscope and the various procedural techniques employed during a hysteroscopy. Each subsequent chapter focuses on the diagnosis of specific disorders using hysteroscopy, encompassing a wide range of conditions such as polyps and fibroids, abnormal bleeding, infertility, intrauterine adhesions, and many more.

The final sections of the book address potential complications, medico-legal aspects, and anaesthesia related to hysteroscopy. Written by an experienced team of recognized editors and authors, this comprehensive guide is extensively illustrated with clinical images and figures. Additionally, a QR code enclosed within the book offers access to operative videos demonstrating the various techniques employed during hysteroscopy.

Published in 2017, the previous edition of this book has already established itself as a trusted resource in the field.
