Hysteroscopy has become an integral part of the overall gynaecological surgical concept. On the one hand the experience of our study group as well as a literature survey have demonstrated that results of hysteroscopic metroplasty, resection of submucous myoma and synechiolysis are at least comparable to those of conventional procedures, the advantages of minimal invasive surgery being evident. However, increasing complications, even with a lethal outcome, due to deficient technical equipment or insufficient training of the surgeon are reported. Yet, a survey of complications in literature and in our own series of hysteroscopies (n = 200), shows a median complication rate below 1%. Knowledge of possible complications, symptoms and management alternatives is, however, a first requirement for application of these minimal access procedures. The second major precondition being a well structured training program for surgeon and assisting team. With the recently developed in-vitro-simulation trainer, the HysteroTrainer, training of the entire spectrum of hysteroscopic procedures, including laser and high frequency electrosurgical applications, is now feasible. The simulator may also be employed for security checking of the complex hysteroscopic equipment.
