Background O-30: The Correlation between Myometrial Thickness and In Vitro Fertilization/ Intracyto- Plasmic Sperm Injection (IVF/ ICSI) Outcomes MaterialsAndMethods In this prospective cohort study, 453 infertile women undergoing IVF-ET/ICSI cycles without any obvious pathology of uterine were enrolled. Trans-vaginal ultrasounds were conducted on days 2-4 of the cycle (menstrual phase) precedi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate dynamic changes in myometrial thickness during the third stage of labor. METHODS Myometrial thickness was measured using ultrasound at one-minute time intervals during the third stage of labor in the mid-region of the upper and lower uterine segments in 151 patients including: women with a long third stage of labor (n = 30), postpartum hemorrhage (n = 4), preterm deli...

OBJECTIVE To study the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic measurements of the lower uterine segment (LUS) thickness near term in predicting uterine scar defects in women with prior Caesarean section (CS). DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library (1965-2009). METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Studies of populations of women with previous low transverse CS who underwent third-trimester eval...

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic performance of six different approaches for assessing myometrial infiltration using ultrasound in women with carcinoma of the corpus uteri. METHODS Myometrial infiltration was assessed by two-dimensional (2D) transvaginal or transrectal ultrasound in 169 consecutive women with well (G1) or moderately (G2) differentiated endometrioid type endometrial carcino...

Objectives: This study focused on evaluating the value of transvaginal 3D ultrasound for the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data from 32 patients with post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum over three recent years. In all patients, transvaginal 3D ultrasound was used to measure the siz...

OBJECTIVE To define the role of lower uterine segment (LUS) evaluation at term. DESIGN Observational case-control study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENT(S) Ninety-four patients were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 45 multiparous single fetus pregnant women with up to two previous cesarean sections (CS). Group B consisted of 49 multiparous pregnant women with up to three...

We present a case of recurrent ruptured right cornual ectopic pregnancies conceived after IVF. Following the second episode, a sonohysterography was undertaken to identify possible areas of scar weakness that may rupture with uterine distension in a future pregnancy. The scan revealed asymmetrical muscle thickness in the cornual regions, the right (6 mm) being thinner than the left (1.6 cm). Su...

AIM To describe our experience with various interventions for caesarean scar pregnancies (CSPs) based on the myometrial thickness between the gestational mass and the bladder. METHODS All patients were initially administered methotrexate. Then, the appropriate therapies hysteroscopy alone or combined with uterine artery embolization (group A) and direct laparoscopy alone or combined with lapa...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between first-trimester sonographic findings and morbidly adherent placenta at delivery. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of all first-trimester sonographic examinations from pregnancies that underwent third-trimester sonography for placenta previa or low-lying placenta between September 1997 and October 2011. Onl...

PURPOSE To estimate the risk of uterine dehiscence/rupture in women with previous cesarean section (CS) by comparing the thickness of lower uterine segment (LUS) and myometrium with trans-abdominal (TAS) and trans-vaginal sonography (TVS). METHOD In this case-control study, in 100 pregnant women posted for elective CS (with or without previous CS; group 1 and group 2 respectively), the thickn...
