Abstract:
Objective To assess the value of intraoperative ultrasonography during the uterus septum resection under a hysteroscope.MethodsThe uterus septum resection was performed under the guidance of transabdominal ultrasonography by using a hysteroscope in 30 patients.The operative procedure and the position of the hysteroscope were monitored,and the depth of the dissection and thickness of the myometrium in the fundus uteri were measured with transabdominal ultrasound during the operation.ResultsThe thickness between the incisal surface and serosal layer in the fundus uteri was within the normal limits in 28 cases.In 2 cases,the tissue was over-ectomized.The position of the urethral catheter balloon was correct in all of the 30 cases.Three months after the procedure,reexamination by transvaginal ultrasonography showed that the uterine cavity was normal in the patients.ConclusionsIntraoperative ultrasonography is quick,safe and precise for monitoring uterus septum resection.It is valuable for establishing surgical strategy and reducing operative complications.
