Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for and method of recirculating fluid used in performing hysteroscopic endometrial ablation. The fluid preferably circulates through a closed loop, fluid delivery system, including a heater for heating the fluid, and passes through a chamber of known volume having graduated markings disposed thereon so that the amount of fluid circulating within the closed loop system can be continuously monitored. The apparatus is connected to the inlet and outlet ports of a hysteroscopic sheath positioned within the uterine cavity of a patient. Any drop of fluid level within the marked chamber will indicate to the surgeon that the patient is undesirably absorbing fluid so that the procedure may be swiftly terminated before adverse consequences occur.
