CONCLUSIONS
Hysteroscopy provides optical evaluation of uterine cavity. Most of the benign intrauterine organics pathologies could be managed in an outpatient setting with a vaginoscopic approach without any anaesthesia and analgesia. Using that approach we can recommend to perform endometrial target biopsy, resection of endometrial polyps up to 1.5 cm and pedunculated submucous myomas up to 1 cm as well as resection of filmy intrauterine adhesions. Method is comfortable for well managed patients and practically complication-free.
