Saline infusion sonohysterography has been employed to evaluate the uterine cavity prior to commencement of assisted conception.Intra-uterine lesions play an important role in the outcome of assisted conception procedures. A descriptive retrospective study of 760 patients who had saline infusion sonohysterography prior to assisted conception, between January 2008 and December, 2010. Forty-six percent of the patients had intra-uterine pathologies. Submucous fibroids accounted for almost half (48.57%) of the pathologies, followed by adhesions (28.57%) and endometrial polyps (22.86%). Complications arising from the procedure were minor and occurred in 26 patients (3.42%). Abdominal cramps, vaginal bleeding and vaginal discharge occurred in 14 (53.85%), 8 (30.77%) and 4 (15.38%) respectively. The average duration of the procedure was 6 minutes with a range of 4-9 minutes. Saline infusion sonohysterography is a reliable, cost effective and safe diagnostic tool in the evaluation of the uterine cavity prior to assisted conception.
在辅助生殖开始前，盐水灌注超声子宫造影已被用于评估子宫腔。子宫内病变在辅助生殖程序的结果中起着重要作用。这是一项对2008年1月至2010年12月期间在辅助生殖前接受盐水灌注超声子宫造影的760例患者进行的描述性回顾性研究。46%的患者有子宫内病变。黏膜下肌瘤占病变的近一半（48.57%），其次是粘连（28.57%）和子宫内膜息肉（22.86%）。该操作引起的并发症较轻微，26例患者（3.42%）出现并发症。腹部绞痛、阴道出血和阴道分泌物分别发生在14例（53.85%）、8例（30.77%）和4例（15.38%）。该操作的平均持续时间为6分钟，范围为4 - 9分钟。盐水灌注超声子宫造影是辅助生殖前评估子宫腔的一种可靠、经济有效且安全的诊断工具。
