factors influencing the presence of Uterine Cavity fluid in a random sample of asymptomatic postmenopausal women
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1998Co-Authors: Berit Gull, B. Karlsson, Mats Wikland, Ian Milsom, Seth GranbergAbstract:Aims. To assess possible endometrial pathology and other factors influencing the presence of Uterine Cavity fluid in postmenopausal women. Study design. A random sample of 559 asymptomatic postmenopausal women, recruited from the total population, were examined by transvaginal sonography (TVS) for the presence of Uterine Cavity fluid. Women with Uterine Cavity fluid who had an endometrial thickness of ≥8 mm (including fluid) were admitted for hysteroscopy and a dilatation and curettage (D & C), and those with <8 mm underwent a new TVS examination one year later. A medical history, including details regarding previous minor gynecological surgery, was taken from the women and from an age-matched control-group of women from the same population. Results. Uterine Cavity fluid was found in 8.9% (50/559) of the women. In four women with an endometrium measuring ≥ 8 mm, curettage revealed polyps in three women and atrophy with a pyometra in one woman. At the one-year follow-up. 22 women who originally had an endometrial thickness<8 mm had an endometrial thickness of<5 mm: 11 women had no Cavity fluid and in the remaining 11 the Cavity fluid had decreased. In 17 women, endometrial thickness measured ≥5 mm and subsequent histology showed 11 endometrial biopsies with atrophy, four endometrial polyps and two cervical polyps. The prevalence of Uterine Cavity fluid increased with increasing age (p<0.0001) and was increased in smokers (p<0.013) but was unaltered by the presence or absence of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Conclusion. There were no indications that Uterine Cavity fluid was associated with malignancy. The prevalence of Uterine Cavity fluid increased with increasing age and was higher in smokers. We could not demonstrate an increased prevalence of fluid in HRT-users.

Clinical Value of Ultrasound-guided Curettage in Real-time of Uterine Cavity
Journal of Gannan Medical University, 2015Co-Authors: Song Jian-minAbstract:Objective: To discuss the value of ultrasound-guided curettage of Uterine Cavity. Method: 362 cases with curettage of Uterine Cavity were examined with ultrasound During Uterine curettage,observe the uterus and pelvic,and the location,size,blood supply of lesions,guide the direction and depth of instruments entering the Uterine Cavity,guide the operation of the Uterine Cavity,and evaluate the effect of Uterine curettage. Result: Ultrasound-guided curettage successful cases were 357( 98. 62%),the time used during curettage of Uterine Cavity was 2 ~ 15 min,the average time was( 6. 4 ±2. 2) min,no complications. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided curettage operation is simple and quick,safe and reliable. It has significant value in clinical application.

Three‐dimensional saline contrast hysterosonography and surface rendering of Uterine Cavity pathology
Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology : the official journal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996Co-Authors: Zwi Weinraub, Ron Maymon, Adrian Shulman, J. Bukovsky, A. Kratochwil, Andreas Lee, A. HermanAbstract:A new technique that combines saline contrast hysterosonography with three-dimensional surface rendering for the visualization of Uterine intracavitary pathologies is described. A total of 32 patients suspected of having Uterine Cavity pathologies on the basis of previous ultrasonography, hysterosalpingography or hysteroscopy were involved in the study. They were examined by three-dimensional high-frequency endovaginal probes (Combison 530, Kretztechnik, Zipf, Austria), with normal saline used as an expander and contrast medium. Three perpendicular planes could be evaluated simultaneously, and surface renderings were readily available. Following the instillation of normal saline, the Uterine Cavity appears as an echo-free, well-defined structure, and the endometrium appears as an echogenic homogeneous lining around the Cavity. Data acquisition time is short and images can be stored for later evaluation. Surface rendering of polypoid structures shows ecbogenie masses on a pedicle protruding into the Uterine Cavity. Submucous fibroids appear as mixed echogenic sites bulging into the Cavity. IntraUterine synechiae appear as bands of varying thickness traversing the Uterine Cavity. Simultaneous display of the zone of interest in three perpendicular planes enhances imaging capabilities, while surface rendering provides a comprehensive overview of the surface area of the findings and their topographical orientation. Further research using this new technique is required to document its real contribution to ultrasonographic imaging. Copyright © 1996 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Restoration of Uterine Cavity Measurements after Surgical Correction
Journal of Imaging, 2020Co-Authors: Laura Detti, Mary E. Christiansen, Roberto Levi D’ancona, Jennifer Gordon, Nicole A. Van De Velde, Irene Peregrin-alvarezAbstract:Objective: We sought to define the Uterine and Uterine Cavity dimensions of subseptate uteri before and after hysteroscopic surgical incision, and compare them to those obtained in normal uteri with 3-D ultrasound. Methods: Two cohorts of consecutive women with normal-appearing Uterine Cavity and women diagnosed with Uterine subseptations, before and after undergoing hysteroscopic incision. 3-D ultrasound was used to measure the Uterine Cavity width, length, and area on a frozen coronal view of the uterus. Results: A total of 215 women were included: 89 in the normal, and 126 in the subseptate uterus, groups. Uterine length and height were similar in the pre-operative, post-operative subseptate uteri, and in the normal uteri, while the Uterine width was significantly greater in the pre-operative (5.1 + 0.8 cm) than post-operative (4.7 + 0.8 cm) and normal uterus (4.6 + 0.7 cm; p < 0.001) groups. The pre-operative Uterine Cavity length (3.3 + 0.5 cm), width (3.2 + 0.7 cm), and area (4.4 + 1.2 cm2), were significantly greater than the post-operative ones (length 2.9 + 0.4 cm; width 2.6 + 0.6 cm; area 3.7 + 0.8 cm; overall p < 0.001), and became similar to the dimensions of the normal uterus. Of the patients who subsequently conceived, 2.6% miscarried in the corrected subseptation group and 28.8% miscarried in the normal uterus group. Conclusions: We defined the ultrasound dimensions of the Uterine Cavity in subseptate uteri and their change after surgical correction. Uterine Cavity length, width, and area show very little variability in adult normal uteri, while they are increased in uteri with a subseptation greater than 5.9 mm in length, and regain normal measurements after surgical correction.

Ultrasound assessment of Uterine Cavity remodeling after surgical correction of subseptations.
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2013Co-Authors: Laura DettiAbstract:Objective To assess the postoperative restoration of a normal Uterine Cavity, Uterine Cavity measurements were obtained in patients with arcuate or septate uteri in the periods before and after resection. Study Design Twenty-eight women diagnosed with arcuate or septate uteri were evaluated with 3-dimensional ultrasound before and after undergoing surgical resection by hysteroscopic resection, in a university center. In addition to the conventional parameters, measurements of the subseptum's length and width, and Cavity width, were obtained on a frozen coronal view of the uterus. Postoperatively, Uterine Cavity width was measured. Results Twelve patients were diagnosed with arcuate uterus and 16 with septate uterus and subsequently underwent surgical correction. Of them, 50% had a retroverted uterus and 61% had a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (7/28, or 25%, had both). Uterine length, width, and height, before and after resection, were similar between arcuate and septate, as were the subsepti base widths, despite the different lengths. However, Cavity width was significantly decreased after resection only in the septate uterus group: 3.6 cm, 95% confidence interval, 3.3–3.9, preoperatively vs 2.8 cm, 95% confidence interval, 2.5–3.1, postoperatively, respectively; P P = .05). Conclusion Postoperative measurements of the Uterine Cavity revealed a remarkable Uterine remodeling capacity: we speculate this could represent the most important single change to explain improved pregnancy outcomes after surgical correction of subseptations.
