3D Sonohysterography vs Hysteroscopy: Study for the Evaluation of Intrauterine Abnormalities
- Conditions
- Uterine Diseases
- Interventions
- Device: diagnostic sonar testDevice: diagnostic hysteroscopy
- Registration Number
- NCT02682433
- Lead Sponsor
- Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
- Brief Summary
Uterine cavity diseases can cause mild to severe symptoms, and may indicate the functional problems of the female reproductive system. Many articles examine the efficacy of diagnostic hysteroscopy compared to sonohysterography in the diagnosis of uterine cavity diseases. Most of the articles are from the last decade, but the subject has been laid aside in the recent years. Antonio Simone Lagana and his group have found that there is 100% correlation in uterine cavity structure between diagnostic hysteroscopy and sonohysterography, and only 78% correlation when it comes to intrauterine fibroids and polyps. Walid El-Sherbiny, MD and his group have found that there is a significant advantage to three-dimensional sonohysterography over two-dimensional in the diagnosis of uterine cavity diseases. No significant difference was observed, and 97% correlation was found, comparing three-dimensional sonar and hysteroscopy. Work rationale is that there is a reason to reconsider the status of the diagnostic hysteroscopy to sonohysterography due to evolving technologies, and an improvement in resolution and three dimensional technologies.

Purpose of the study:
Comparison of the sensitivity, specificity, and the amount of information between diagnostic hysteroscopy and sonohysterography (Two and three-dimensional, in abdominal and vaginal access).
The comparison will be will be made immediately after the completion of diagnostic hysteroscopy test, while using liquid drizzled earlier during the hysteroscopy, in order to simulate sonohysterography which is considered less intrusive and is made As part of standard treatment.

Group Intervention Description diagnostic sonar test diagnostic sonar test Women who were routinely referred to perform diagnostic hysteroscopy. As part of the procedure, clear liquid is inserted into the uterine cavity. After the hysteroscopy, and in the same positionabdominal and vaginal sonar will be performed, and the findings will be recorded and will be compared. Immediately after completion of the office hysteroscopy, two-dimensional and three-dimensional sonar to demonstrate the uterine cavity and its walls will be performed while using the liquid which is left in the uterine cavity. It is important to note that no additional invasive operation will be performed beyond what is necessary to perform hysteroscopy. It should be emphasized that the sonar test will be performed immediately and in the same position as the hysteroscopy test. All procedures will be performed in women clinics or day hospitalization. It should be noted that the medical examinations will not be performed unless there are medical reasons. diagnostic hysteroscopy diagnostic hysteroscopy Women who were routinely referred to perform diagnostic hysteroscopy.
