Diagnostic hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is the visualization of inside the uterine cavity (womb) using a camera system similar to laparoscopy. The distension media is saline or glycine instead of carbon-dioxide in laparoscopy. This surgery is performed when we need to assess uterine cavity for various reasons such as in subfertility or when ultrasound scan shows polyp or fibroid within the cavity and also as an investigation for endometrial carcinoma.
In severe form of PID where there is pelvic abscess or pelvic collection of pus or inflammatory exudates, surgical intervention is needed to drain or remove those collections. Laparoscopic surgery can be used safely with minimal intervention to perform appropriate surgery by an experienced laparoscopic surgeon when required laparoscopy facilities are available.
