Patient and provider satisfaction with saline ultrasound versus office hysteroscopy for uterine cavity evaluation prior to in vitro fertilization: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare patient and provider satisfaction with saline ultrasound (SIS) versus office hysteroscopy for cavity evaluation prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to assess the capability of hysteroscopy to manage pathology at time of diagnosis to reduce delays and supernumerary procedures.
