Difference between hysteroscopy and laparoscopy

Hysteroscopy is an emerging minimally invasive gynecological diagnosis and treatment technology, which is essentially a fiber-optic endoscope, including a hysteroscope, an energy system, a light source system, a perfusion system and an imaging system.

Laparoscope is similar to electronic gastroscope and is an instrument with a miniature camera. Laparoscopic surgery is an operation performed using laparoscope and related instruments: a cold light source is used to provide illumination, and a laparoscopic lens (3-10mm in diameter) is inserted into In the abdominal cavity, the image captured by the laparoscopic lens is transmitted to the post-stage signal processing system through the optical fiber using digital camera technology, and displayed on the special monitor in real time. Then the doctor analyzes and judges the patient's condition through the images of different angles of the patient's organs displayed on the monitor screen, and uses special laparoscopic instruments for surgery. Laparoscopy cannot completely replace open surgery. However, laparoscopy has a wide range of exploration, clear images, obvious to all, integrated diagnosis and treatment, minimally invasive and efficient, representing the rise and development of minimally invasive surgery to a certain extent, and undoubtedly has the vitality of the times and broad prospects.

Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are important inspection methods for infertility. In addition to their respective strengths, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can also "jointly fight" some difficult diseases to relieve pain for patients.
