ABSTRACT

In comparison with rigid hysteroscopy, flexible hysteroscopy is associated with less discomfort, allows for easy passage of the endocervical canal, enables easy maneuvering around submucous fibroids or endometrial polyps, and in some cases obviates the need for cervical dilatation. It is a safe, successful, well-tolerated, and acceptable procedure when performed in the outpatient setting. Indications and contraindications of flexible hysteroscopy are similar to those of conventional hysteroscopy.
