During the last few years, diagnostic hysteroscopy has become a standard procedure in the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding, sonographically suspicious endometrial reflex and fertility disorders. At the same time the hysteroscopic treatment of intrauterine pathology is becoming more common. Today, hysteroscopic resection of uterine myomas, dissection of uterine septa, and endometrial ablation are standard procedures. Using monopolar cutting devices and saline-free distension media, hysteroscopic surgery bears specific risks. The knowledge of these risks is important to avoid typical complications of operative hysteroscopy. This article gives an overview about the most common procedures of operative hysteroscopy and the combined risks. Criteria for a safe procedure are defined in order to increase the quality management of operative hysteroscopy.
