Objective: To evaluate bulk limits of intrauterine pathology for "see and treat" hysteroscopy.
Type Of Study: A retrospective observational study.
Setting: Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University Prague and General Teaching Hospital Prague.
Methods: 200 mg of Indomethacin was administered to the patients by rectum 2 hours before procedure. "See and treat" procedures were performed with "Versascope" in awake patients without any peroperatively admistered analgesia or anaesthesia. As a "see and treat" were managed 796 endometrial polyps, 125 submucous myomas, as well as 62 cases of intrauterine synechias.
Conclusions: endometrial polyps up to 1,5 cm, pedunculated submucous myomas up to 1,0 cm as well as fibroid adhesiones obliterated no more than 1/3 of uterine cavity can be managed as "see and treat" procedures with a high compliance of the patients.

The limited and inconsistent adoption and regulation of nurse-led clinics (NLCs) and "See & Treat" (S&T) services in Italy needs to be explored considering their value towards patients' outcomes acknowledged in the literature. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of hidden nursing activities (HNAs) in these settings, hypothesizing that features and activities performed in these settings are heterogeneous across the country and widely underreported or attributed to other professionals than nurses. HNAs are hypothesized to be associated with a poor work environment climate and nurses' low job satisfaction.

Modern hysteroscopy represents a copernical revolution for the diagnosis and treatment of uterine pathology. Traditionally hysteroscopy was performed in a conventional operation room under general anaesthesia (in-patient hysteroscopy). Recent advances in technology and techniques made hysteroscopy less painful and invasive allowing it to be performed in an ambulatory setting (outpatient hysteroscopy).

Objective: The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the cervical conizations performed in the last 20 years in a single institution, with a particular interest in analyzing the trend of the length of cone excisions.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study of women who underwent a CO2-laser cervical conization between January 1996 and December 2015. Cytological abnormalities on referral pap smear, colposcopic findings and pertinent clinical and socio-demographic characteristics of each woman were collected.

Purpose Of Review: Visual examination of the uterine cavity and contextual operative facilities have provided the gynecologist with the perfect 'diagnostic' tool, making it possible to examine the cavity and biopsy suspected areas under direct visualization.
Recent Findings: The approach used to insert the scope, together with the diameter of the hysteroscope and the distention of the uterine cavity, are of extreme importance in reducing patient discomfort to a minimum during an outpatient examination. The vaginoscopic approach (without speculum or tenaculum) has definitively eliminated patient discomfort related to the traditional approach to the uterus.
