Evaluation Of The Diagnostic Role Of Hysterosalpingography In Cesarean Scar Niche Diagnosed By Hysteroscopy

The term CS niche (defect) describes the presence of a hypoechoic area within the myometrium in the isthmus (lower uterine segment) with discontinuation of myometrium at the site of previous CS. Hysterosalpingography is an important component in the diagnostic evaluation of the infertile woman. The number of hysterosalpingography examinations performed has significantly increased in recent years, likely due to the trend for women delaying pregnancy until later in life and the popularity of technical advances achieved in reproductive medicine.The term CS niche (defect) describes the presence of a hypoechoic area within the myometrium in the isthmus (lower uterine segment) with discontinuation of myometrium at the site of previous CS. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic role of HSG to early detect cesarean scar niche. To evaluate diagnostic role of hysterosalpingography (HSG) in cesarean scar niche at Early Cancer Detection and Gynecological Endoscopy Unit at Ain Shams Maternity Hospital within 6 months.
