Faculty:

Description: Diagnostic office hysteroscopy permits full visualization of the endometrial cavity, tubal ostia, and endocervix and is critical in diagnosing focal lesions that are missed with blind and non-directed endometrial sampling. Increasingly, operative hysteroscopy both in the office and in ambulatory centers permits safe, effective, and minimally invasive surgery for an array of intrauterine pathology. The goal of this lab is to provide the tools needed to perform diagnostic and therapeutic hysteroscopy, understand hysteroscopic conundrums, and recognize and treat complications should they occur.

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

1. Develop a foundational knowledge of office and operative hysteroscopy in the treatment of simple to complex intrauterine pathology;
2. Treat intracavitary pathology including: Endometrial polyps, intrauterine fibroids, mullerian anomalies, hysteroscopic sterilization, the removal of foreign bodies, and treatment of endocervical lesions with the operative hysteroscope and tissue retrieval systems;
3. Implement learned skills to improve patient safety in the office and ambulatory surgical center; and
4. Describe the steps necessary to respond to complications of hysteroscopy.
