Abstract
The use of hysteroscopy is not intended for the evaluation and management of the patient with cervical cancer or its precursors. ** "Blind" intrauterine procedures, such as an endometrial ablation procedure without hysteroscopic visualisation, insertion of intrauterine hormonal devices etc. should not be considered an operative hysteroscopy according to the proposed classification. However, studies describing such uterine procedures should report pain management, setting and model of care as described in the preceding sections.
