FLEXIBLE HYSTEROSCOPY

 
 
 
 

The experience of performing fibrohysteroscopy at the Endoscopy department of Severstahl General Hospital.

2350 hysteroscopies were done during the 8 years of work. Operative hysteroscopy is being done since 2002. We performed 380 of the procedures during that period of time. The tissue specimens were taken 1530 times (66% of all procedures). We performed 300-400 hysteroscopies (including 50 operative ones ) each year for the last 5 years. Ambulatory flexible hysteroscopy is now a routine procedure at the Endoscopy Department as well as esophagoduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy and retrograde cholangiopancreography.

During the 8 years of work we have done 870 hysteroscopies in women of reproductive age (between 18 and 40 years) which is 38% of all the procedures done. The catheterization of the proximal part of fallopian tubes was performed 122 times. We have done 80 operative hysteroscopies in women or reproductive age within the last 6 years. Electro excision of endometrial polyps was performed 37 times. The cervical canal polyps were removed 28 times. Intrauterine adhesions were cut 8 times. We also used hysteroscope and other endoscopy equipment to extract intrauterine contraceptive (4 times).

Within the last 6 years 75 infertile patients got pregnant or gave birth to children after being performed a hysteroscopy. 60 infertile women were planned a certain treatment management.
