[Use of the hysteroscope in pediatric gynecology for diagnosis of vaginal hemorrhage and injury].

Abstract

The vaginal bleeding, injury and suspected foreign body are commonest indications for vaginoscopy in pediatric gynecology. A special hysteroscope, the resectoscope, permits the exploration of vaginal pathologies of girls with intact hymenal ring. Authors have used the resectoscope for vaginoscopy with excellent result. The small diameter, the magnification and the continuous fluid irrigation give ideal conditions for endoscopic evaluation of vaginal disorders in babies and virgins. The possibility of biopsy and coagulation is given by monopolar loop electrode.
