title: [The disinfection of non-autoclavable hysteroscopes in gynecology. Proposition of a protocol and organization of its management].
abstract: Iatrogenic infections may result from diagnostic hysteroscopy in case of non autoclavable equipment (such as fibrohysteroscopes) and because of new infectious agents (such as HIV, hepatitis, ...). The equipment should be completely and thoroughly disinfected according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent infectious complications.
