Tuboovarian Abscess after Saline Infusion Sonohysterography: An Unusual Complication

Surgical Management of Endometrial Polyps in Infertile Women: A Comprehensive Review

“…Additional advantages of SIS include assessment of other uterine cavity abnormalities such as leiomyomata or adhesions and assessment of Müllerian anomalies, if needed [ 37 , 46 , 47 ]. Disadvantages of SIS are related to its learning curve [ 48 ] and patient discomfort caused by fluid instillation or leakage [ 49 ], as well as the theoretical risk of infection [ 50 ]. In a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 20 studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy of SIS to hysteroscopy, the pooled sensitivity and specificity of SIS in the detection of all intrauterine abnormalities were 88% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 85%–90%) and 94% (95% CI 93%–96%), respectively [ 37 ].…”

Pelvic abscess following frozen embryo transfer

“…Th e frozen embryo transfer might have reactivated a latent infection in the fallopian tubes. A similar mechanism was described for hysterosalpingography and sonohysterography (Shavell et al 2009). In our institution, frozen embryo transfer treatment in a natural cycle is usually arranged by telephone contacts with non-medical staff , without any preliminary visit or ultrasound by a physician.…”

Saline instillation sonohysterography test after normal baseline transvaginal sonography results in infertility patients. Is it justified?

“…It is important to note that even that SIS is easy and comparatively convenient for the patient, it has complications, and like all invasive interventions, it can cause infection, false route and perforation [17][18][19].…”
