Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility and procedural completion rate measured using the successful completion of the hysteroscopic procedure without switching devices or aborting at intraoperative / immediately after the procedure | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intraoperative parameters, patient tolerability, and operator satisfaction measured using a 5-point Likert scale rated by the surgeon at post-procedure;Procedural duration measured using total procedure time measured in minutes at the end of the study;Patient pain perception measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 0–10) at immediately post-procedure;Fluid management and setup measured using setup time and volume of distension medium used at the end of the study;Adverse events measured using incidence of intraoperative and immediate post-procedural complications (e.g., vasovagal reactions, bleeding, uterine perforation) at intraoperatively and immediately post-procedure prior to discharge | — |
