anesthesia and was placed on the operating table in semi-dorsolithotomy position with her legs held by staff. She was then prepped and draped. Pelvic exam was performed. Weighted speculum was placed and single tooth tenaculum placed anteriorly on the cervix. Visualization was good. Diagnostic hysteroscopy was introduced into the endocervix on direct visualization and into the intrauterine cavity. The above findings were noted with no obvious pathology.
