Diagnostic hysteroscopy has increasingly become established as a standard procedure in hospitals and private gynaecology practices over the last few years, and therapeutic interventions are now also gaining in importance.

The advantage of these endoscopic techniques is the low level of stress for the patient where the organs are preserved. Operative hysteroscopy places high demands on the operator, because specific complications can arise which require a high degree of knowledge of the safety aspects of the procedure.

Richard Wolf GmbH has made a major contribution to reducing this risk through problem-orientated development. Miniaturisation of instruments was a significant milestone in expanding the use of these procedures.

The new “Resection Master”, representing a high point in the development of instruments for operative hysteroscopy, consists of a resectoscope with an integrated suction channel and a special microprocessor controlled pump unit with pulse generator for suction of resection chips whilst retaining an overview of the intra-uterine area without having to change instruments.

The Princess resectoscope (Petit Resectoscope including E-line & S(a)line System) is the thinnest resectoscope with an outer diameter of only 7 mm that is used with the new 12° PANOVIEW telescope 8974.412. Its tiny dimensions are ideal for fine and precise resection. Due to the significantly reduced space required, the intrauterine pressure can be kept particularly low. The result is less fluid consumption and loss. The instrument with its hybrid technology can be used both for monopolar and bipolar application.

The resectoscope is considered worldwide to be the "Gold Standard" in the therapy of intracavitary myomas. In a myoma resection the chips float in the dilatation medium and this makes it more difficult to maintain control, since the chips have to be removed frequently. Every time the resectoscope is reintroduced, coagulated blood must firstly be rinsed out and the hydrometra re-established until a good view of the operating site is obtained, then the resection can continue. There is an increased risk of perforation due to these manipulations. There is an increased risk of the dreaded TUR syndrome, especially with longer surgery times.

With the RESECTION MASTER chips are aspirated immediately they are produced and removed from the cavity of the uterus without the hydrometra being impaired. Repeated interruptions of the resection are no longer the case, it is not necessary to time and again remove and reintroduce the resectoscope. There is continuous control during the entire myoma resection because of the automatic chip aspiration. As a result, the surgery time is significantly shortened. This results in a clear reduction of complications compared with using the conventional resectoscope, and the surgeon can resect the myoma completely and with much less difficulty.

• Simplified resection
• Continuously in control
• Reduced surgery times

For many years, Richard Wolf has ranked amongst the successful innovators throughout the world who have been actively engagedin the research and development of medical products and product systems. Since the demands for efficient application solutions are permanently on the increase, Richard Wolf is continually endeavoring to offer new, unique products for applications that are already available, or for new ones. Parallel to the rapid development and implementation of new application possibilities we have fulfilled our customers' wish for developing the new HySafe System with flushable forceps and scissors.

By constructing this modular, innovative HySafe product line with its new Easy-Click mechanism, in combination with optimized safety components, its concept has been implemented in an excellent way. Due to the new system's overload protection a service life is guaranteed of at least three times as long.
With this new development, important details as regards efficiency, user-friendliness and hygiene have been greatly improved. Interdisciplinary implementation is possible in urology, gynaecology and surgery.
