SIS after hysteroscopic metroplasty

What is it about?

3D sonohysterography / 3D SIS (technique in which fluid is injected through the cervix into the uterus, and three dimensional ultrasound is used to make images of the uterine cavity)—a minimally invasive and relatively inexpensive method with substantial interrater/intrarater agreement coefficients for the postoperative evaluation of the uterine cavity—is as diagnostically accurate as hysteroscopy (the gold standard in evaluation of uterine cavity).

Why is it important?

This study is the first to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional sonohysterography for the evaluation of the uterine cavity following hysteroscopic septum resection. Our findings revealed high diagnostic accuracy for 3D-SIS with substantial or perfect interrater/intrarater agreement for the assessment of uterine cavity abnormalities occurring in the selected population. Diagnostic hysteroscopy (more expensive, higher discomfort to patients) after metroplasty may be limited.
