Hysteroscopy: What Women Need... Video Transcript

Webcast Transcript

It would be wonderful to put through the hysteroscope a little plastic catheter with a laser light, step on the pedal for five minutes and your periods are done with -- no pain.

So we're developing new techniques to use through the hysteroscope as well as the hysteroscope itself. We're going to see some of that. That's already in research right now. We'll see some of that being brought out very shortly.

LINDA BRADLEY, MD: Tubal sterilization is likely to be done through the hysteroscope.

STEVEN COHEN, MD: Absolutely.

GRACE JANIK, MD: I think the future is an expansion of what operative procedures can be done in the office. Once we get the wave of really what's happening of diagnostics in the office, expansion of procedural items including tubal ligation, maybe expansion of treating oblations and myomas in a more controlled setting in the office.

MARY WAGNER: Thank you again for this informative discussion on hysteroscopy and abnormal uterine bleeding. And thank you for watching our webcast.
