Abstract
Objective: To assess the positive predictive value and accuracy of sonohysterogram, by performing retrospective analysis of sonohysterographic findings correlated with hysteroscopic and biopsy findings, based on the data from two of our local hospitals.
Materials and Methods: A total of 865 Saline sonohysterograms were performed, for a period of 3 years, from 1ST February 2013 to 30thNovember 2016 for those women, who showed abnormality on transvaginal Ultrasound. These results were correlated with hysteroscopic and biopsy findings.
Results and Conclusion: Saline sonohysterogram is highly accurate in evaluating the endometrial cavity. It is a simple outpatient procedure that shows the details of endometrial lesions thereby helps treatment planning and avoids unnecessary hysteroscopy and biopsy.
