Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Prospective comparative study including 100 infertile patients with suspected uterine lesion. 2D ultrasound, sonohysterography , 3D ultrasound and hysteroscopy will be done to evaluate uterine cavity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All patients will be examined by 2D transvaginal ultrasound using a 6.5 MHz probe (Sonoace 5000, Medison Co. Ltd, korea). Examination is performed after emptying of the bladder in dorsal lithotomy position.

Three dimensional ultrasound will be performed using Medison, Voulson 530 D-MT ultrasound machine (Medison Co. Ltd, Korea). The uterus is visualized in the longitudinal plane, the ultrasound probe is kept steady and the patient is asked to lie still on the examination bed.

Sonohysterography will be done after introduction of the catheter into the cervix, a twenty milliliter syringe which is prefilled with the distending media (saline) is then fitted to the catheter. The speculum is removed and endovaginal probe is introduced in the posterior vaginal fornix. The uterus is then visualized in the longitudinal plane to demonstrate the endometrial cavity and the catheter. Once this is possible, sterile saline is slowly injected through the catheter into the uterine cavity; up to ten milliliter of saline is usually enough for the procedure.

Hysteroscopy will be done under general anesthesia. The hysteroscopy is rigid continuous flow diagnostic hysteroscopy . It has a 30º panoramic optic which is 4 mm in diameter and the diagnostic continuous flow outer sheath is 6.5 mm in diameter.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

hysteroscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Hysteroscopy is done under general anesthesia. The hysteroscopy used is rigid continuous flow diagnostic hysteroscopy (Tuttligen, Karl Storz, Germany). It has a 30º panoramic optic which is 4 mm in diameter and the diagnostic continuous flow outer sheath is 6.5 mm in diameter.

two dimensional ultrasound

Intervention Type DEVICE

Examination is performed after emptying of the bladder in dorsal lithotomy position .The probe is introduced into the posterior fornix of the vagina, then the following structures are examined, the uterus for site, size and mobility, the myometrium for fibroids and adenomyosis, the endometrium for uniformity, polyps, submucous fibroids and intrauterine adhesions, the cervix for nabothian follicles and polyps, the adenexa and ovaries for site, size, mobility, follicles, cysts and corpus luteum

saline sonohysterography

Intervention Type DEVICE

sterile speculum is introduced and the vagina and cervix is cleaned with povidone iodine 10%. Cook ET (embryo transfer) catheter is used. . After introduction of the catheter into the cervix, a twenty milliliter syringe which will be prefilled with the distending media (saline) then fitted to the catheter. The speculum is removed and endovaginal probe is introduced in the posterior vaginal fornix

three dimensional ultrasound

Intervention Type DEVICE

The uterus is visualized in the longitudinal plane, the ultrasound probe is kept steady and the patient is asked to lie still on the examination bed. The volume mode is switched on. Three D volume is generated by the automatic rotation of the mechanical transducer through 360º. The acquired volume is in the shape of a transacted cone with a depth of 4.3 - 8.6 cm and a vertical angle α = 90º. Using the medium line density, the typical acquisition time is a round 10 seconds
