STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare office hysteroscopy with suction biopsy versus the hospital procedure with respect to clinical outcomes, success rates, and cost. DESIGN Retrospective review of outpatient and inpatient records for all attempted office hysteroscopies with suction biopsy from September 1991 to June 1995, and all hospital diagnostic hysteroscopies with dilatation curettage from Januar...

INTRODUCTION Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic procedure with a high accuracy in diagnosing endometrial cancer. Because of the increase of intrauterine pressure during distention media inflation, several retrospective studies postulated that it may result in cancer cell dissemination within the peritoneal cavity through the fallopian tubes. We therefore set to estimate whether hysteroscopy increases...

The effects of misoprostol use on cervical priming prior to hysteroscopy have been controversial. Therefore, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of studies were conducted to assess the effect of misoprostol on cervical priming prior to hysteroscopy. All studies published before July 2014 with data related to the use of misoprostol for cervical priming compared with placebo or no me...

Comparison of vaginoscopic no touch method with the traditional method of outpatient hysteroscopy Objective: To compare the vaginoscopic “no touch” approach to diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy without anesthesia with traditional diagnostic office hysteroscopy after intracervical injection of prilokaine hydrochloride 2% in terms of pain perception and feasibility. Material and Methods: A total...

Objective. To evaluate accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysteroscopy in detection of intrauterine pathology in infertile women. Subjects and methods. This retrospective study was conducted in 56 infertile women with abnormal transvaginal ultrasound findings of the uterine cavity which was performed during the midfollicular phase as a part of routine infertility workup. Hysteroscopy...

Operative Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive, safe and well tolerated procedure. Prevention of complications crucial for patient care. The complication rate in diagnostic hysteroscopy low 0.012%. Complications from operative are more common potentially serious. These risks highest with complex hysteroscopic procedures like myomectomy adhesiolysis. can be early or late complications. Early inc...

Hysteroscopy is a mainstay of modern gynaecologic practice. However, the role of ambulatory hysteroscopy and associated procedures has increased dramatically in recent years. The outpatient setting has associated benefits, both for the patient and economically. The advent of less invasive vaginoscopic techniques means that diagnostic hysteroscopy is achievable safely, comfortably and efficientl...

conclusions our study demonstrated that 3d tvs has a good efficacy and reliable agreement with hysteroscopy in diagnosis of uterine lesions among infertile women. therefore, it can decrease the number of diagnostic hysteroscopies. results totally, 153 women were recruited in the investigation. patients aged 30.78 ± 4.79 years in average and the duration of infertility was 4.2 ± 2.91 years among...

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HYSTEROSCOPY AND 3D ULTRASOUND FOR DIAGNOSING UTERINE CAVITY ABNORMALITIES (Abstract) Objective: Hysteroscopy is the most accurate method for diagnosing intrauterine pathologies related to abnormal blee ding and infertility. The accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography and hysteroscopy were compared in identifying uterine cavity abnormalities. Material and methods...
