The hysteroscopy was performed in the proliferativephase of the menstrual cycle. The patients were given generalintravenous anesthesia (propofol/fentanyl) after the vulvar and the vaginal area had been disinfected with a 7.5% Betadinesolution by the surgical nurse All operations were performed by the same surgeon to avoid possible discrepancies between different surgeons.

Detailed description

Astandard rigid30 hysteroscope (Karl Storz bettocchi hysteroscope) with a 30° viewing angleand an outer sheath diameter 5.5 mm, inner sheath diameter 4.3 mm and scope diameter 2.9 mmwas used in all procedures. A speculum was introduced into the vagina, and the uterine cervixwas visualized. Initially, the surgeon attempted to passthrough the cervical canal with the tool directly. When thatwas not possible or when the cervical canal was too rigid ortoo tight, the cervix was grasped with a tenaculum.
