Hysteroscopic Cold-Knife Surgery
Polyps and fibroids are removed mechanically, minimizing thermal damage to the endometrium. It is the procedure of choice for women planning a pregnancy.
Hysteroscopic cold-knife surgery (Hysteroscopic Cold Knife) uses mechanical cutting rather than electrical energy to remove lesions in the uterine cavity, including uterine polyps, submucosal fibroids, and intrauterine adhesions.
Because no electrocautery is used, thermal damage to the surrounding endometrium is nearly zero, helping preserve the integrity of the endometrium. This makes it especially suitable for women planning a pregnancy.
Who Is It For?
Key Features
The surgery is performed under direct hysteroscopic view, precisely removing lesions without affecting normal endometrium. The procedure is short, and in most cases you can go home the same day, with a fast recovery that doesn't disrupt your daily life.
How It Differs from Electrocautery
Traditional hysteroscopic surgery uses electrocautery to treat lesions. Although effective, the electrical energy may cause thermal damage to the surrounding endometrium and affect the environment for implantation. The cold-knife technique avoids this risk, giving patients planning a pregnancy better assurance of endometrial quality after recovery.
