title: The HysteroTrainer, a simulator for diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy.
abstract: Hysteroscopy has become an integral part of operative gynecology, with rates of major complications of 1%. To avoid serious, even lethal, complications, an intensive, well-structured training program for practicing surgeons is necessary. In response to these educational requirements. The HysteroTrainer was developed to provide in vitro simulation training for diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, including laser and high-frequency electrosurgery.
