These pathologies can now be diagnosed and treated in an outpatient setting, thanks to technological advancements and instrument downsizing. Two hundred years of development and notable innovation are now reflected in the present hysteroscopic practice. This review attempts to trace the boundaries-pushing history of hysteroscopy by highlighting the advancements in technology and the therapeutic and diagnostic benefits offered by this groundbreaking approach.
