Operative hysteroscopy.
OBJECTIVE
Analysis of the obtained results after operative hysteroscopy for several intrauterine abnormalities.


METHODS
Thirty women with uterine problems (7 polyps, 16 endometrial, 5 endocervical adhesions and 2 lost IUDs) were submitted to operative hysteroscopy under general anesthesia by using fine rigid auxiliary instruments at Lito Private Maternity Hospital and the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Athens University during 1991.


RESULTS
The adhesiolysis was successful in all the 21 cases with 5 subsequent pregnancies to date, the hysteroscopic excision of the 7 polyps was uneventful and the removal of the 2 lost IUDs was done by using a special forceps for foreign bodies.


CONCLUSIONS
Operative hysteroscopy presented excellent results intra-operatively, post-operatively and in the routine follow-up by diagnostic hysteroscopy 3 months after intervention.
