Objectives: To determine surgical hysteroscopy findings and experience. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Centro de Endoscopia Ginecológica Peruano Alemán, Lima, Peru. Participants: Women with uterine pathology. Interventions: Between January 1 2012 and December 31 2013, 122 surgical histerocopies were performed in 122 women 23-58 years old. Results: Preoperative diagnosis was polyps in 87 patients, myomas in 24 patients, uterine adherences in 6 patients and other causes in 5 patients. Polyps and fibroids diagnosis was mostly in patients 31-48 years old. Diagnosis was by ultrasound in 64.8%, sonohysterography in 31.2%, hysterosalpingography in 3.2%, and computerized axial tomography in one case (0.8%). Misoprostol was used prior to surgery in 77 patients (63.1%), general anesthesia in 99% (only one epidural) and glycine as distension medium in 105 patients as well as saline in 17. ...
