选取经宫腔镜联合3D-TVS诊断为中、重度宫腔粘连(intrauterine adhesion,IUA)并经宫腔粘连分离术(transcervical resection of adhesion,TCRA)治疗的患者132例,术后3个月行3D-TVS,比较手术前后子宫内膜容积及血流参数的变化,同时行宫腔镜复查,比较两者结果。
To study the application value of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-TVS) in the postoperative follow-up of intrauterine adhesions.
Methods:
A total of 132 patients with moderate or severe intrauterine adhesion were diagnosed by hysteroscopy and 3D-TVS and treated by transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA). All patients received the examination of 3D-TVS and the results were co
mpared with those of secondary hysteroscopy three months later. Pre- and post operative endometrial volume and blood flow parameters of 3D-TVS were observed and compared.
Results:
The endometrial volume
flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) after TCRA were increased compared with those before TCRA (
P
0.05). Although the vascularization index (VI) was slightly increased after TCRA
the difference was not statistically significant (
P
0.05).The sensitivity
specificity and accuracy of postoperative 3D-TVS for the diagnosis of intrauterine adhesions were 85.0% (51/60)
83.3% (60/72)
84.1% (111/132)
respectively.
Conclusion:
In accordance with hysteroscopy
3D-TVS is useful to evaluate the endometrial volume and blood flow parameters with convenience and reliable quality.
