An interventional hysteroscope includes a cannula, an optical imaging element, an ultrasonic imaging element and a treatment element, such as an ablation needle. The cannula has a distal end, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis therebetween, and the optical imaging element is disposed at the distal end of the cannula. The ultrasonic imaging element is also disposed at the distal end of the cannula and is configured to image along a laterally oriented image path. The treatment element is configured to be deployed from the cannula along a laterally oriented treatment path, and the imaging path and the treatment path intersect at an intersectional location spaced laterally away from the cannula. A display is configured to present both an optical image from the optical imaging element and an ultrasonic image from the ultrasonic imaging element and to present a marker on the ultrasonic image at a location corresponding to the intersectional location.

Combined ultrasonic and direct visual hysteroscope

A falloposcope intended for use with a hysteroscope to access, image, and collect samples from a patient's fallopian tube includes a cannula having an angled tip oriented to engage a fallopian tube os when the cannula is transcervically introduced to a patient's uterus through the hysteroscope. The catheter has a distal viewing tip configured to be advanced from a distal end of the cannula into the patient's uterus through a cervical os. A viewing chamber has a wide proximal end attached to the distal viewing tip of the catheter, and the viewing chamber is at least partially transparent and typically tapers in a distal direction to provide a clear viewing zone for the endoscope as well as atraumatic advancement into the fallopian tube.
