Description: This course provides a comprehensive review evaluating the uterine cavity with special focus on the endometrium. The endometrium, is derived from the mucosal lining of the fused Mullerian ducts. It is essential for reproduction and may be one of the most complex tissues in the human body. Videos and images of the Endometrium from Normal to Abnormal, Benign Lesions, Chronic Endometritis, Endometrial Hyperplasia to evidence-based practices that have an impact on the obstetric outcomes shall be covered. Role of Hysteroscopy as a diagnostic tool for evaluating the uterine cavity and endometrium with higher predictive ability in detecting the Endometrial Pathologies. The course will demonstrate high quality evidence and video presentations related to Hysteroscopic Markers of Chronic Endometritis and other Benign Endometrial pathologies.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

1. Objective Role of hysteroscopy in evaluating the endometrium with higher predictive ability in detecting various Endometrial Pathologies
2. Objective Identify hysteroscopic markers of chronic endometritis tubercular and non-tubercular on diagnostic hysteroscopy
3. Objective Evaluate repeated implantation of failure and endometrial association
