Objective To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography, hysteroscopy and uterine curettage in the diagnosis of endometrial polyp, submucous myoma and endometrial hyperplasia, using as gold standard the histopathological analysis of biopsy samples obtained during hysteroscopy or uterine curettage. Methods Cross-sectional study performed at the Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB)...

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic treatment for adnexal cystic masses that were predicted to be benign in postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women found to have an adnexal cystic mass were retrospectively evaluated with transvaginal ultrasonography, and serum CA-125 levels. The selection criteria were adnexal cystic masses greater than 3 cm but less t...

Transvaginal sonographic measurement of cervical length, at 20 weeks of gestation, is very useful to predict spontaneous preterm birth. A large number of studies have been performed in the attempt to detect the spontaneous preterm birth on the basis of biological, biochemical and ultrasound parameters. Transvaginal Sonography is a good tool to evaluate the cervix. This study aims to evaluate th...

Objective: To evaluate the utility of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in assessing pathologic causes Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB). Methodology: The descriptive study was conducted Gynecology Unit Nishtar Hospital Multan from July-2021 to July-2022. A total 80 women with diagnosis AUB were recruited. Every patient an underwent TVS. thickness endometrium, its echogenicity, size uterus, and ...

Introduction: Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound can be used in distinguishing lesions of adnexa. Transvaginal has higher diagnostic accuracy than transabdominal when compared with gold standard histopathology. It also provides better resolution as to ultrasound.
 Aims: To find the efficacy sonographic techniques adnexal pathologies by comparing against biopsy.
 Methods: Hospi...

This Review describes the rationale for the use of cervical pessaries to prevent spontaneous preterm birth and their gradual introduction into clinical practice, discusses technical aspects of the more commonly used designs and provides guidance for their use and future evaluation. Possible advantages of cervical pessaries include the easy, 'one-off' application, good side-effect profile, good ...
