What is Endosee Advance?

The Endosee Advance is a portable, handheld hysteroscopy device that provides providers with a clear, real-time view of the uterine cavity. Unlike traditional hysteroscopy methods, which often require hospital scheduling, anesthesia, and more invasive preparation, the Endosee Advance is designed for in-office use. This means women can receive a thorough evaluation in a comfortable, familiar setting without the delays and added risks associated with operating room procedures.

With its compact design and high-quality imaging, Endosee Advance provides immediate diagnostic insights, helping identify common concerns such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, or other intrauterine abnormalities. Because results are available on the spot, patients and providers can move quickly from uncertainty to a clear treatment plan, often during the same visit. The device not only saves time but also reduces the physical and emotional stress that can accompany traditional diagnostic approaches, making it a more intelligent, more patient-friendly choice for modern women’s healthcare.

How Endosee Advance Works?

Endosee Advance combines a high-definition camera with a slim, flexible probe that can be easily inserted into the uterus. The device captures clear images and videos of the uterine lining, which can be viewed in real-time on a connected monitor. This allows healthcare providers to diagnose and treat various gynecological conditions with precision and efficiency.
Diagnostic Applications
Endosee Advance is particularly useful for diagnosing and treating conditions such as:
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Menstrual disorders
  • Pelvic pain
  • Infertility
  • Recurrent miscarriage
With Endosee Advance, healthcare providers can identify:
  • Polyps
  • Fibroids
  • Retained products of conception
  • Endometrial thickening or atrophy
  • Tissue in need of biopsy
Endosee Advance also enables the performance of several procedures, including:
  • Transection of intrauterine adhesions and septa
  • Polypectomy (pedunculated, < 2cm)
  • Removal of a retained IUD
  • Directed biopsy
  • Presurgical planning, identifying required time and tools needed for OR
Diagnostic hysteroscopy, such as with Endosee Advance, is more accurate than sonohysterography (SIS) and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in assessing endometrial pathology. Endosee Advance allows you to diagnose uterine focal pathology more accurately than endometrial biopsy alone.

Benefits of Endosee Advance

  • Minimally Invasive: The Endosee Advance offers a less discomforting experience with a faster recovery time compared to traditional diagnostic methods, making it an ideal choice for modern gynecological care.
  • In-Office Convenience: This procedure is efficiently performed in the comfort and privacy of Dr. Honey Milestone’s office at Core Luxe MD, eliminating the inconvenience and stress associated with hospital visits.
  • Immediate Results: With the capability for real-time imaging, the Endosee Advance allows Dr. Milestone to make prompt and accurate diagnostic decisions, enhancing patient care by speeding up the treatment process.

  • Cost-Effective: Opting for the Endosee Advance is generally more affordable than similar hospital-based procedures, providing significant savings without compromising quality.
  • Reduced Risk: As a minimally invasive procedure, the Endosee Advance carries a lower risk of complications, ensuring a safer diagnostic option for patients seeking comprehensive gynecological evaluation.

What to Expect During the Endosee Advance Office Hysteroscopy

Before Your Appointment

Most patients do not need to take any special preparation before an Endosee Advance exam. You can eat, drink, and take your usual medications. In some cases, your provider may recommend scheduling the procedure at a specific point in your menstrual cycle for the clearest view of the uterine lining. If you take blood thinners or have a special medical condition, please let us know in advance so we can provide you with tailored instructions.

During the Procedure

When you arrive, you’ll be made comfortable in a private exam room. The process is similar to a routine pelvic exam:

  • You’ll lie back on the exam table with your feet in stirrups.
  • A thin, handheld Endosee device is gently passed through the cervix into the uterus.
  • The device provides real-time images of the uterine cavity on a screen, allowing your provider to see any polyps, fibroids, or other concerns immediately.
  • If needed, a small biopsy sample can be taken during the same visit for further evaluation.
  • The entire process usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

How It Feels

Most patients describe the sensation as mild cramping, similar to menstrual cramps, when the device is inserted. Some women feel only slight pressure or discomfort. No anesthesia is needed, and most patients find the procedure very tolerable.

After the Procedure

You may experience light spotting or mild cramping for a few hours after the procedure. This is normal and usually resolves quickly. You can return to your regular daily activities right away.

To stay comfortable and support recovery:

  • Wear a light pad if spotting occurs
  • Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed
  • Avoid heavy exercise or intercourse for 24 hours if your provider recommends it
  • Call the office if you experience heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, or any symptoms that feel unusual.

Office Endometrial Biopsy vs. Outpatient Hospital Hysteroscopy Dilation and Curettage (D&C)

Office Endometrial Biopsy with Endosee Advance:
  • Setting: Performed in the relaxing and familiar surroundings of Dr. Honey Milestone’s office at Core Luxe MD, designed to put patients at ease.
  • Anesthesia: Anesthesia is generally not required, simplifying the procedure and reducing potential complications.
  • Recovery: Patients typically experience minimal disruption to their daily life and can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure.
  • Cost: Office-based endometrial biopsies are more cost-effective than comparable hospital procedures, significantly reducing medical expenses.
In-Hospital Hysteroscopy Dilation and Curettage (D&C):
  • Setting: Conducted in a hospital operating room, this procedure requires hospital admission, providing access to extensive medical resources.
  • Anesthesia: General or regional anesthesia is usually administered, ensuring patient comfort during this more invasive procedure.
  • Longer Recovery: As a more invasive procedure, hysteroscopy D&C typically involves a longer recovery period, necessitating downtime for healing.
  • Higher Costs: In-hospital settings incur additional costs related to facility fees and anesthesia, making this option more expensive.
