title: Is diagnostic hysteroscopy adhesiogenic?
abstract: To determine whether diagnostic hysteroscopy posed any risk of causing the formation of intrauterine adhesions 108 women were studied. Diagnostic hysteroscopy was performed; following tubal surgery, a second-look hysteroscopy was undertaken. Adhesion were noted in 1 of 100 of those patients in whom no prior adhesions had been noted.
