Hysteroscopy for years has been part of the cultural baggage and main diagnostic instrumentation of each gynecologist. Hysteroscopy allows performing any intravaginal and intrauterine
diagnoses and surgical treatments, in “office” or in operating room, even in the most complex
cases.
From the knowledge of the technique, it is possible to carry out a diagnosis and to perform,
at the same time, the treatment in the outpatient, by a “see and treat” modality. And it is in the
hysteroscopy that we have devoted some of our scientific and life experiences.
After a few scientific meetings, where we, the three Editors, have met, we have come to life
with a deep friendship and idea: to have on hysteroscopy topic a whole world congress and a
manual, the most up-to-date and detailed possible, consisting of the most big world experts,
some of whom were invited as speaker and chairmen.
Thus, a great project was born: the Global Congress on Hysteroscopy, which was held in
Barcelona from 3 to 5 May 2017, with over 750 colleagues from more than 60 nations and
from all continents. The Book has been presented to the congress, consisting of more than 60
chapters, illustrated by over 700 images, of which over 600 are in color. Each chapter was
made up to the maximum that the topic chosen for the author could offer, devoting a lot of
space to graphic illustrations, photographs, and images. In fact, the manual is a kind of
Hysteroscopic Atlas Book, which aims to help most gynecologists improve their hysteroscopic
know-how and clarify some of the possible doubts that normally arise during their common
practice.
The Hysteroscopy Book intends to be a valuable daily work companion, for all the curious
gynecologists in their work and eager for a continuous improvement. And this is the purpose
for which our idea has grown and realized. We do not know where we can get it, but we know
we have made a big leap to offer a strictly scientific and didactic approach to hystoscopy to all
colleagues and gynecology students.
