Abstract
Failure holds great value when we extract valuable lessons from it, particularly in surgery. It plays a vital role in preventing the repetition of harmful mistakes. However, if complications remain confined to the operating theater, the lessons learned become mere personal experiences. This principle is also applicable in the field of hysteroscopy. Since the first hysteroscopy reported by Pantaleoni, the significance of complications and their prevention have been emphasizing alongside the description of the procedure itself.
In this chapter, we present a collection of interesting cases gathered from all around the world. The following cases are described by the surgeons involved, providing readers with comprehensive information necessary to recognize, acknowledge, and effectively address complications. The inclusion of videos allows readers to gain insight into the firsthand experiences of surgeons involved in encountering complications. By sharing this knowledge, we aim to make a modest but effective contribution toward enhancing the safety of hysteroscopic procedures.
