PURPOSE We assessed the role of preoperative sonohysterography in the diagnosis of intrauterine synechiae. METHODS Nineteen patients with a suspected diagnosis of intrauterine adhesion underwent hysterosalpingography, transvaginal sonography, and sonohysterography performed in the consultation room. The patients were then treated by hysteroscopy under laparoscopic or ultrasound guidance. RE...

We compared transvaginal sonography, sonohysterography, and diagnostic hysteroscopy in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding, Sixty-eight women 40 or older with abnormal uterine bleeding were assigned to undergo either transvaginal sonography or sonohysterography. All subjects then had diagnostic hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy. Patients with abnormal findings underwent operative hyst...

BACKGROUND AUB is a common cause of women's referring to gynecologists. Although hysteroscopy is known as the gold standard technique for diagnosing the cause of AUB, sonohysterography is less invasive, and it is performed by general gynecologists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of sonohysterography compared to the results of the endometrial biopsy, guided ...

Objective: To asses the accuracy of two-dimensional saline infusion sonohysterography (2D SIS) office hysteroscopy in evaluation of uterine cavity in infertile patients. Patients and Methods: 100 patients with suspected uterine lesion were recruited in the study. Suspected uterine lesion was based on the history, clinical examination or previous investigations suggesting uterine cavity abnormal...

OBJECTIVE To compare diagnostic accuracy of sonohysterography vs hysteroscopy in patients with benign uterine endocavitary findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 202 patients submitted to sonohysterography after transvaginal ultrasound examination suspicious for uterine endocavitary findings. Cytological sample was taken and analyzed from the fluid used to distend t...

Transvaginal sonohysterography was performed on 40 consecutive patients with infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss and uterine abnormalities on hysterosalpingography. The findings were correlated with the hysterosalpingogram and subsequent diagnostic and/or operative hysteroscopy. Hysterosalpingography was incorrect in nine cases. Sonohysterography was more accurate than hysterosalpingography...

Sonohysterography is a simple, safe and convenient technique that is easily and rapidly performed in the ultrasound room; yet the technique seems to be underutilized in West Africa. We present two cases that were successfully carried out in our centre followed by detailed description, uses and challenges of the technique, with the hope of encouraging clinicians and sonographers in the sub-regio...

INTRODUCTION Hysteroscopy is considered the 'gold standard' procedure in assessing uterine pathology however it is more expensive and invasive method than ultrasonography. An alternative to the diagnostic hysteroscopy is sonohysterography. AIM To evaluate the usefulness of sonohysterography in detecting endometrial polyps in female patients diagnosed with infertility. MATERIAL AND METHODS W...

OBJECTIVE The hysterosalpingogram is commonly used to evaluate the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes in the workup of infertile couples. The sonohysterogram is gaining popularity as part of this evaluation. This study compares hysterosalpingography to sonohysterography for the detection of polyps, cavitary fibroids, adhesions, and septae in infertile patients. METHODS We conducted a ret...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of simultaneous endometrial aspiration at the time of sonohysterography for screening postmenopausal women at risk for endometrial cancer. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of women older than 50 years who underwent saline-infusion sonohysterography for the evaluation of their endometrium. On completion of imaging, the remaining intracavitary saline an...
