Hysteroscopy in the Evaluation of Recurrent First Trimesteric Miscarriages

Abstract

utpatient hysteroscopy, also known as office hysteroscopy, is an established diagnostic tool (Pinto, 2011). The procedure involves mini authorized endoscopic device to visualize and examine the uterine cavity, without the need for operating room facilities or anesthesia (Clark and Gupta, 2002). Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is one of the most frustrating and difficult areas in reproductive medicine because the etiology is often unknown and there are few evidence-based diagnostic and treatment strategies. Studies on the etiology, evaluation, and management of RPL are often flawed (Christiansen et al., 2005).
