An interventional study of hysteroscopy and two dimensional ultrasound in Infertility, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 20 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-03-21.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
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.
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.
2,506 studies on the registry are indexed under Infertility; 407 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 100 is below the median of 120 across 1,698 interventional studies indexed under Infertility.

evaluation of female with proved uterine lesion by two dimensional ultrasound, three dimensional ultrasound, saline sonohysterography and hysteroscopy
Procedure: hysteroscopy · Device: two dimensional ultrasound · Device: saline sonohysterography · Device: three dimensional ultrasound
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.
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

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

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
