Hysteroscopic Surgery

Hysteroscopic surgery is a method of visualizing the uterine cavity with a camera inserted through the cervix and treating intrauterine pathologies.

What is Hysteroscopic Surgery?

Hysteroscopy is a method that allows direct visualization of the uterine cavity by inserting a thin camera (hysteroscope) through the cervix. Hysteroscopic surgery is the treatment of intrauterine pathologies using this method.

Hysteroscopy is used for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. No incision is made on the abdomen; the entire procedure is performed through the cervix. Assoc. Prof. Erkan Elçi has extensive experience in hysteroscopic surgery.
