Difference between hysteroscopy and laparoscopy

Although both hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are also endoscopic surgical operations performed through light-guided glass fiber scopes for examination and treatment, there are significant differences: first, hysteroscopy operates through the natural cavity of the human organ and does not require artificially invasive establishment of channels, whereas laparoscopy requires artificially invasive establishment of channels to be performed. Secondly, the indications of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are different. Hysteroscopy is used to observe the physiological and pathological changes in the cervical canal and the uterine cavity and the opening of the fallopian tubes, and to visualize and accurately take the diseased tissue for pathology and surgical treatment. Laparoscopy is used to observe the tissues and organs in the abdominal cavity, such as the surface, size, morphology, location, interrelationship of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes as well as the relationship with the surrounding adjacent organs, through an artificially invasive channel implanted with an optical mirror by the surgeon and enables surgical treatment. Thirdly, the scope of treatment of the two types of lumpectomy is completely different. Hysteroscopic surgery treats diseases in the uterine cavity and the cervical canal, such as cervical canal polyps, endometrial polyps, longitudinal malformations of the uterus, and lesions at the opening of the fallopian tubes, while laparoscopy sees the treatment of diseases of the uterus convex to the abdominal cavity and diseases of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, as well as diseases that require open surgery in the old treatment, such as fibroid nucleation, uterine resection, ovarian tumor surgery, tubal opening, tubal parachute reconstruction and windowing, ectopic pregnancy surgery and pelvic floor reconstruction.
