Comparison of the efficacy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) with and without saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Menstrual dysfunction is a commonly encountered problem in gynecological practice. The causes are many and require a thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose the cause of AUB. Endometrial pathology is one of the poorly evaluated areas often requiring invasive procedures like endometrial biopsy. TVS with SIS can offer a good alternative to the invasive procedures. Aims and Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Transvaginal ultrasonography and Saline infusion sonohysterography in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding. To correlate their diagnostic accuracy after hysterectomy with histopathological examination report. Study Design: It is a prospective study of 200 patients with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding who underwent Transvaginal ultrasonography, followed by saline infusion sonohysterography and the findings were interpreted. Results and Conclusion: Saline infusion sonohysterography is a simple, highly sensitive and specific technique to detect intrauterine pathology in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding when Transvaginal sonography findings are inconclusive. Saline infusion sonohysterography outlines the uterine cavity, detects myoma, polyp or endometrial abnormality, missed on transvaginal ultrasound alone.
