Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Infertility
• Interventions: Procedure: office hystroscopy

• Registration Number: NCT02455635
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Office hysteroscopy through vaginoscopic approach was done in gynecology out-patient clinic with saline distension medium. The presence or absence of lower abdominal pain and the side of pain were recorded. Then, transvaginal sonography within 20 minutes was done to detect the presence of free fluid in the pouch of Douglas. Then, laparoscopy with tubal chromopertubation was done.

Detailed Description

Office hysteroscopy through vaginoscopic approach was done in gynecology out-patient clinic using a 4 mm endoscopic sheath \& 30 ᵒ endoscopic camera with saline distension medium using 90-100 mmHg pressure. Meanwhile, the presence or absence of lower abdominal pain and the side of pain were recorded.
