The diagnostic investigation of menstrual dysfunction and sterility
is a routine part of gynaecological practice. Hysteroscopy can
expand the spectrum of diagnostic possibilities. The 2nd revised
edition of this handbook aims to familiarise the gynaecologist with
diagnostical hysteroscopy. About 100 colour plates facilitate the
acquisition of this technique as well as the correct assessment of
findings. The book is conceived for newcomers to hysteroscopy and
should contribute to the further establishment of this method. 2nd
revised edition 90 case studies of gynaecological practice
