A invasive outpatient surgical procedure performed using conscious sedation anesthesia in which a long thin camera is inserted through the vagina and cervix and into the uterus in order to correct any abnormalities of the uterine lining or cavity as detected by previous diagnostic testing. Most commonly, removal of endometrial polyps (non-cancerous small growths), fibroids, or extra tissue can be performed easily and quickly using instruments inserted through the camera.
