Hydrogynecography: a new technique enables vaginal sonography to visualize pelvic adhesions and other pelvic structures.

ABSTRACT

Vaginal ultrasonography, done after the transcervical injection of isotonic saline into the cul-de-sac, is a new technique we named hydrogynecography. This was prospectively used in patients suffering from infertility and pelvic pain. In 84% of patients we were able to identify pelvic adhesions confirmed by laparoscopy. In 16% the procedure provided false-negative results.
