Hysteroscopy has truly revolutionized the field of diagnostic and operative gynecology. It is presently regarded as the gold standard method for both the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine diseases and it has fundamentally altered the way gynecologists treat patients with such conditions. These pathologies can now be diagnosed and treated in an outpatient setting, thanks to technological advancements and instrument downsizing. Two hundred years of development and notable innovation are now reflected in the present hysteroscopic practice. This review attempts to trace the boundaries-pushing history of hysteroscopy by highlighting the advancements in technology and the therapeutic and diagnostic benefits offered by this groundbreaking approach.

Abstract
Hysteroscopy has truly revolutionized the field of diagnostic and operative gynecology. It is presently regarded as the gold standard method for both the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine diseases and it has fundamentally altered the way gynecologists treat patients with such conditions. These pathologies can now be diagnosed and treated in an outpatient setting, thanks to technological advancements and instrument downsizing. Two hundred years of development and notable innovation are now reflected in the present hysteroscopic practice. This review attempts to trace the boundaries-pushing history of hysteroscopy by highlighting the advancements in technology and the therapeutic and diagnostic benefits offered by this groundbreaking approach.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
