Abstract

A fiberoptic colposcope was converted through minor alterations into an instrument suitable for use in gynecologic microsurgery. Magnification up to 24x may be obtained, and the extreme mobility, price consideration, and reduction in space at the operating table make it an attractive alternative to a bulky, expensive operating microscope.

Colpophotography systems: a review.

Colpophotography and video colposcopy systems are useful for pathology documentation purposes, patient education, and colposcopy training. A wide variety of colposcopic visual media components are available to enhance routine colposcopy. Colpophotographic systems supplied by eight colposcope manufacturers were critically evaluated by a colposcopist and a medical photographer. Components were independently and objectively analyzed. Photographic examination considered color, illumination uniformity, and coverage of illumination at all possible colposcopic magnifications. Photographs were developed by a standardized technique. The investigation results clearly demonstrated variability between different colpophotographic systems. Quality colpophotography is dependent on certain colposcope features and potential modifications. Colpophotography and video colposcopy systems complement the standard colposcopic procedure.
