This document provides an overview of various gynaecological procedures including:
1. Thin prep liquid based cytology, colposcopy, speculums, and biopsy tools for examining the cervix and vagina.
2. Transvaginal ultrasound, sonohysterography, saline infusion sonography, and MRI for examining the uterus.
3. Hysteroscopy, the gold standard for assessing the endometrium, which allows both diagnostic and operative procedures such as removing fibroids and polyps.
4. Endometrial ablation techniques for removing the endometrium without hysterectomy, including various laser, electrosurgery, balloon, and microwave methods.
