OC105: Endometrial guided biopsy during sonohysterography and during hysteroscopy: a comparative study

Diagnostic accuracy of sonohysterography compared to endometrial biopsy in pre-menopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding

  Background: AUB is a common cause of women’s referring to gynecologists. Although hysteroscopy is known as the gold standard technique for diagnosing the cause of AUB, sonohysterography is less invasive, and it is performed by general gynecologists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of sonohysterography compared to the results of the endometrial biopsy, guid...

Three different techniques for administering analgesia during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: a comparative study.

PURPOSE The efficacy of three different analgesic techniques during transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy, including (i) periprostatic blockage (PPB), (ii) intrarectal gel instillation, and (iii) sedoanalgesia were compared. MATERIAL AND METHODS During a period of five months, 100 consecutive men were enrolled in this study. A 10-point linear visual analogue scale (VAS) was use...

Air embolism during operative hysteroscopy: TEE-guided resuscitation.

During hysteroscopic surgery there are concerns about potential complications such as venous air and gas embolism. The incidence of subclinical air emboli events during operative hysteroscopy is significantly underestimated. The manifestations of this complication may range from an unnoticeable decrease in P(ET)CO(2) to the need for resuscitation. Three cases of air embolism with variable outco...
