title: [Gynecologic endosonography: initial experiences].
abstract: Basing on our research work in hysteroscopy, we used recently developed small endosonographic sounds for intrauterine and later vaginal approach, for the first time in 1981. We call this method endosonography. The equipment used so far is described, the procedure explained, and the efficacy of this new technique demonstrated via several endosonograms. The advantage to transabdominal sonography is the close contact of the ultrasound transducer with the organ to be examined. This enables the use of high frequencies with correspondingly good resolution. Finally, our own experience is discussed.
