Summary

Sonohysterography, a saline infusion sonography, effectively assesses uterine cavity issues like polyps and fibroids before surgery. This painless, safe procedure offers valuable pre-operative insights for gynecological assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecological imaging
  • Reproductive medicine
  • Diagnostic ultrasound

Background:

  • Intracavitary uterine anomalies can impact reproductive health and surgical outcomes.
  • Accurate pre-operative assessment is crucial for effective gynecological interventions.
  • Traditional methods may have limitations in visualizing subtle intracavitary pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique and applications of sonohysterography.
  • To evaluate sonohysterography as a tool for pre-operative assessment of uterine cavity abnormalities.
  • To highlight the safety and efficacy of sonohysterography.

Main Methods:

  • Sonohysterography involves transvaginal ultrasound with saline instillation into the uterine cavity.
  • Detailed technical aspects of the procedure are presented.
  • Patient preparation and safety precautions are discussed.

Main Results:

  • Sonohysterography accurately visualizes intracavitary anomalies such as polyps, myomas, adhesions, and congenital abnormalities (e.g., septate uterus).
  • The procedure is generally painless and atraumatic when standard precautions are followed.
  • No significant adverse effects were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Sonohysterography is a valuable, safe, and minimally invasive tool for pre-operative assessment of uterine cavity pathology.
  • Its role is positioned between hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy for diagnostic accuracy.
  • Wider adoption and further evaluation are recommended to establish its definitive place in clinical practice.
