Introduction
Hysteroscopic surgery must be performed in a formal, sterile operating room to prevent infection. The surgical procedure includes anesthesia, disinfection and draping, uterine distension, insertion of the hysteroscope, and observation. If this surgery is required, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and have the procedure performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to minimize surgical risks. After surgery, adequate rest is important, and strenuous physical activity should be avoided in the short term.
Under normal circumstances, hysteroscopic surgery should be performed in a formal, sterile operating room to prevent infection. The surgical procedure includes anesthesia, disinfection and draping, uterine distension, insertion of the hysteroscope, and observation. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Administer intravenous anesthesia to the patient.
2. Position the patient in the lithotomy position, and perform routine disinfection of the external genitalia and vagina, followed by draping.
3. Insert a vaginal speculum to dilate the vagina and fully expose the cervix; then disinfect the vagina and cervix again.
4. Use a cervical clamp to grasp and fix the anterior lip of the cervix, and use a probe to determine the depth and direction of the uterine cavity.
5. Connect the fluid distension pump, adjust the pressure, and infuse fluid to distend the cervical canal, then insert the hysteroscope into the uterine cavity.
6. Under hysteroscopic guidance, examine the entire uterine cavity, including the openings of the fallopian tubes, the internal cervical os, and the cervical canal.
7. Perform appropriate surgical interventions based on any abnormalities identified in the uterine cavity or cervical canal.
If this procedure is required, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and have it performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to minimize surgical risks. After surgery, ensure adequate rest and avoid strenuous activities in the short term to promote proper recovery.
