Study Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of hysteroscopic tubal sterilization in women with an intrauterine device (IUD).
Design: Prospective observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
Setting: University hospital.
Patients: From January 2005 through January 2006, all women with an IUD who came for a hysteroscopic tubal sterilization consultation were selected to participate.
Interventions: Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization in women with IUD.
Measurements And Main Results: Feasibility of the procedure, localization of microinserts, and tubal occlusion evaluated by hysterography. Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization was performed in 6 patients. Hysterography showed correct placement of microinserts and bilateral tubal occlusion in all patients.
Conclusion: Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization in women with an IUD appears to be a feasible and effective procedure.

Background: Subtle uterine lesions are abnormal intracavitary conditions that, while not causing significant anatomical changes, can adversely impact fertility. Identifying these "subtle" lesions is challenging due to arbitrary interpretation, varied management strategies, unclear clinical significance, and insufficient clinician training in recognizing them. Hysteroscopy offers direct visualization and the capacity to obtain targeted biopsies, making it an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of these often overlooked conditions.

Background: The role of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in managing unexplained infertility (UI) is debatable because of the improved success rate of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This study aims to assess the findings of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in selected women diagnosed with UI to determine the frequency of such pathological conditions in order to manage them properly.
Materials And Methods: The current cross-sectional study was conducted on 96 women who attended an infertility clinic at the educational hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences from March 2018 to February 2020.

The outpatient setting is particularly convenient, as patients do not require general anesthesia and do not have to stay overnight. In recent years, more and more articles have dealt with the role of diagnostic hysteroscopy in tubal evaluation.
