An important technologic advance occurred in 1997 with the introduction of a versatile bipolar electrosurgery system dedicated to hysteroscopy, the Gynecare VersaPoint (Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ, USA), which represents a key point in the history of office operative hysteroscopy. With the use of 5F bipolar electrodes, the number of pathologic conditions treated using office operative hysteroscopy has increased tremendously, reducing the use of the resectoscope and the operating room to a smaller number of cases.
