Dear Sir,

In response to the letter from La Sala and Montanavi (La Sala and Montanavi, 2000Go), in our article (Shushan and Rojansky, 1999Go) we tried to show that diagnostic hysteroscopy should be regarded as an outpatient procedure and therefore we believe that even in an outpatient setting the basic test to investigate the uterine cavity should be either hysteroscopy or sonohysterography.
