Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Everyone, Probably a dumb question, but is a resectoscope the instrument used for laser/electric current, etc.? I am trying to find out everything I can about methods of hysteroscopy, and have found references to the microscissors and also many about resectoscope. Many articles onlin seem to speak of resectoscope as the preferred choice. Only a few mention microscissors only, which is what I understand to be the preferred method by all of you. I DON'T want a resectoscope used, is this right?? Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Keri, no, this is not right, a resectoscope is perfectly okay to use and has got nothing to do with laser or electrocautery. It is a mechanical instrument which allows to resect structures. I have a book on instruments used during a hyst. This is no dumb question by the way.
