The complication registration of the gynecology department and a random sample of one third of the medical records were analyzed for long-term complications. Of the 1028 hysteroscopic procedures, 622 (60%) were diagnostic, 328 (32%) were therapeutic hysteroscopic procedures, and 78 (8%) procedures failed.
