    ObjectivesOutpatient hysteroscopy has become an integral part of postgraduate training in gynecology. It is an operator-dependent procedure, however there are no recommendations regarding total number of performed procedures to reach proficiency.Material And MethodsThis study aimed to assess the learning curve (LC) using cumulative summation test for learning curve (LC-CUSUM).ResultsA success rate of 97% a failure rate ≥ 10% were established to denote an adequate and an inadequate performance. A third-year trainee needed 56 procedures to reach the predefined level of performance.ConclusionsAs the length of the LC for outpatient hysteroscopy seems highly variable, it is reasonable to provide tailored monitoring while training.
