title: [Transvaginal ultrasonography and diagnostic hysteroscopy in infertile women].
abstract: Sensibility and specificity of transvaginal ultrasonography and diagnostic hysteroscopy were compared in 211 infertile women. Examinations were performed between 1996-2000 in I-st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Warsaw Medical University--Poland. Comparing results we concluded high compatibility of transvaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopic examinations. In the future--as we suppose--the number of diagnostic hysteroscopies in infertile women will decrease and will be at least partially replaced by transvaginal ultrasound as less invasive and less expensive method.
