Gynecological endoscopy - Fujinkanai shikyo

Japanese: 婦人科内視鏡 - ふじんかないしきょう

This refers to endoscopes used in the gynecological field, and can also refer to examinations using these. They include hysteroscopes (including cervix and fallopian tube scopes), laparoscopes, fetoscopes, cystoscopes, etc., and are used not only to examine for diseases but also for treatment, and in recent years, surgery under direct vision using these endoscopes has been attempted and partially put to practical use. In gynecological endoscopes, rigid scopes that use lenses in the image transmission system are generally used, and illumination light is transmitted from an external light source (halogen lamp, mercury lamp, xenon lamp) through glass fiber to illuminate the local area from the tip of the endoscope.

婦人科領域で用いられる内視鏡をいい，またこれを用いた検査をさすこともある。子宮鏡(頸管鏡や卵管鏡も含む)，腹腔鏡，胎児鏡，膀胱鏡などが含まれ，疾病の検査だけでなく治療にも応用され，さらに近年では，これら内視鏡による直視下での手術も試みられ，一部実用化されている。婦人科内視鏡では，映像伝達系にレンズを用いた硬性鏡が一般に用いられ，照明光は外部光源(ハロゲン灯，水銀灯，キセノンランプ)からグラスファイバーによって伝達され，内視鏡先端から局所を照明する。
