[Respective diagnostic importance of hysterography and hysteroscopy in common uterine pathology].
In order to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of hysteroscopy and hysterography in common uterine diseases. 175 cases of hysterectomy were reviewed. The preoperative diagnosis obtained by these two examination methods was compared with the pathologist's report. Statistical analysis showed a 97.3% sensitivity for hysterography (specificity 28.5%). The sensitivity of hysteroscopy was 89% and its specificity 50%. The results varied according to the pathology observed. The best results for myomas were obtained with hysterography, and those for localized disorders (hyperplasia, polyps, etc.) with hysteroscopy.
