Resectoscopes designed for removal or biopsy of lesions of the female genital tract (e.g., cauterization of endometrial lining, removal of fibroid tumors); they typically include electric cautery and coagulating capabilities. Gynecologic resectoscopes usually consist of an outer sheath, a lighting system (e.g., fiberoptic), a wide-angle telescope, electrosurgical wire loops, and a working channel for catheters and operative devices.
