SIS Versus Office Hysteroscopy for Uterine Cavity Evaluation Prior to IVF

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Infertility

In brief

Saline infusion sonography (SIS) and hysteroscopy are commonly employed methods for uterine cavity evaluation. While hysteroscopy is regarded as the gold standard for diagnosis of intra-uterine pathology, it is not often used as an initial screening tool because of provider concerns about in-office tolerability, operating room costs, and use of anesthesia. The investigators aim to compare SIS and office hysteroscopy with respect to patient and provider satisfaction. Additionally, the investigators aim to assess the capability of office-based hysteroscopy to manage intra-uterine pathology at the time of diagnosis and reduce delays and supernumerary procedures.
