Office hysteroscopy is a highly effective procedure for the evaluation and treatment of intrauterine pathology. The "see and treat" approach allows for patient treatment with the fewest amount of patient visits. The development of smaller cameras and instruments, as well as the employment of a vaginoscopy technique, has led to greater tolerability of office hysteroscopy and significant success of the "see and treat" approach. Most office hysteroscopic procedures can be accomplished with minimal premedication. There are many choices for equipment types and sterilization methods for the office hysteroscopy practice. Reimbursement for office hysteroscopy has improved, but economic challenges remain. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
