Once the position has been assumed, your doctor places a speculum inside your vagina to hold it open, makes a small internal incision just above your cervix, and inserts an instrument called a culdoscope—a type of telescopic device that allows a study of the back surface of your uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
