In gynecology, endoscopes are used most often to diagnose and treat conditions by direct visualization of the peritoneal cavity (laparoscopy) or the inside of the uterus through a transcervical approach (hysteroscopy). For the evaluation of fertility, ovarian, tubal and uterine structures may be visualized using a variety of techniques including laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Laparoscopy is indicated mainly for the investigation of infertility, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis and adhesions. Hysteroscopy is considered the gold standard technique for the diagnosis and treatment of many intrauterine conditions. It is essential that the surgeon fully understands all aspects of the use of the endoscopic equipment, and should be aware of the potential risks of the procedure. Hopefully this book will enhance your knowledge of gynecological endoscopies along with their appropriate indications and use in infertility, and you will be able to apply this to your professional practice.
