title: [Hystereoscopy with CO2. Technique, indications and contraindications (author's transl)].
abstract: The Hysteroscopy occupies again at the present time an important place among the gynecological explorations, since Lindeman introduced the use of controlled carbonic anhydride for the distensión of the uterine cavity. This work studies the technique, indications and contra-indications as well as the value of the hysteroscopy in the first 80 explorations performed in the Gynecological Endoscopy Unit of the Centro de Estudios sobre Repoducción Humana, from Barcelone (Spain). The results are commented and the reach of such endoscopic exploration is analised as routine technique of exploration in comparison to other exploratory techniques used in the study of uterine cavity.
