    • Win-win for the patient and clinician

    Office Hysteroscopy is a win for the patient, because:

    • No speculum nor tenaculum (vaginoscopic approach) are used, hence no pain related to these instruments.1
    • She can be diagnosed and treated at the same time.1
    • Day-to-day activities can be resumed promptly after the procedure.1

    And a win for the hospital and clinician due to:

    • Reduced hospital costs thanks to same day patient discharge2
    • Potential to increase capacity to treat more patients1
    • Can potentially reduce waiting lists1

    Read the key recommendations on office hysteroscopy from RCOG

    RCOG Outpatient hysteroscopy - Green-top guideline no. 59

    “Mechanical hysteroscopic tissue removal systems should be preferred over miniature bipolar electrodes to remove endometrial polyps. [Grade A]”

    “0° hysteroscopes are more intuitive, facilitating entry into the uterine cavity through the cervical canal which may reduce the need for cervical dilatation, as well as minimizing discomfort and uterine trauma. [Evidence level 4]”
