Introduction to Office and Operative Hysteroscopy, Resad Paya Pasic, MD, with co-author Royshanda C. Smith, MD

In this video tutorial we instruct on the setup, equipment and management of office hysteroscopy. The minimal use of anesthesia and the improvements in therapeutic and diagnostic qualities of office hysteroscopy makes it use an attractive alternative to the operating room for both the gynecologic practice and their patients in terms of reduced time and cost efficiencies.

Dr. Brill presented this course at the AAGL 16th Annual Comprehensive Workshop on Gynecologic Endoscopy for Residents & Fellows, held in Chicago, IL, April 21-22, 2007.
