Complications of hysteroscopy-their cause, prevention, and correction
J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc.
1995 Nov.
Abstract
Complications of hysteroscopy occur more frequently in operative than in diagnostic cases. Problems related to uterine distention are common, usually preventable, and potentially extremely serious. Perforation of the uterus may occur during hysteroscopy but do not always cause significant problems. In procedures of high risk for perforation the use of mechanical energy is safer than either laser or electrical energy. Laparoscopy and ultrasonography have some limited use in facilitating operative hysteroscopic procedures. Most complications occur during the hysteroscopic surgical procedure. However, some problems may not be apparent until the post operative period.
