Hysteroscopy and Female Infertility: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches in Clinical Practice addresses the growing global challenge of infertility by focusing on the critical role of hysteroscopy in diagnosing and managing uterine factors that impair female fertility. The book fills a significant gap by providing an up-to-date, practical guide, including recent advances in hysteroscopic technology, such as AI-assisted diagnostics, to improve reproductive outcomes. Chapters cover a broad spectrum of uterine abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, Müllerian anomalies, endometritis, adenomyosis, and isthmocele, combining detailed diagnostic criteria, operative techniques, and evidence on reproductive outcomes.

The inclusion of ultrasound correlations, decision-making algorithms, and QR-linked high-definition surgical videos enhances usability for both learning and clinical application. The book equips gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and fertility specialists with a comprehensive, evidence-based resource designed to improve diagnostic precision and therapeutic efficacy.
