Jermy K, Bourne T, 2004, The role of ultrasound in the management of the acute gynaecological abdomen, Reviews in Gynaecological Practice, Vol: 4, Pages: 224-229, ISSN: 1471-7697

Transvaginal ultrasound has an established role in the assessment of gynaecological patients in almost all areas of the speciality. The incorporation of ultrasound into the initial assessment of the patient presenting acutely with suspected gynaecological pathology, provides an effective and rapid means of diagnosis. This will ideally take place within a dedicated 'emergency gynaecology unit', with the gynaecologist performing the ultrasound as an extension of the main clinical examination. The majority of these women, will be premenopausal. In the absence of a positive urinary pregnancy test, the main distinction that needs to be made is the presence, or not, of a pelvic mass. Transvaginal ultrasound has an established role in the characterization of adnexal masses and their differentiation from leiomyomas, and we will provide an overview of the ovarian, tubal and uterine pathology which may give rise to acute onset symptoms. The presence of adnexal pathology may be coincidental, as the ovary will naturally exhibit a wide variety of cyclical changes, and pain mapping, using the transvaginal probe, will help confirm this. When considering adnexal torsion, a high degree of clinical suspicion should be maintained as there are no pathognomonic features on ultrasound alone. Even the detection of blood flow within a mass suspected of torsion, using colour Doppler, will not exclude the diagnosis. By adopting a problem orientated approach to acute pelvic pain, ultrasound can facilitate a rapid diagnosis of most gynaecological problems, and allow appropriate and timely surgical intervention, conservative management or referral to other specialities as indicated. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) technique is a well established imaging technique for the examination of the pelvic organs. It is a noninvasive, cost-effective, and widely available technique. Using a transvaginal approach, high frequency probes can be used in close proximity to the pelvic organs, thus resulting in higher resolution images. TVS, with or without color doppler, provides the clinician with a highly sensitive method of assessing ovarian morphology and is implicated to several ovarian cancer screening programs. TVS is also a significant contributor to morphological scoring systems and mathematical models. The increased availability of ultrasound has led to more frequent detection of adnexal cystic structures with emphasis in particular to endometriomas and dermoids, as they account for over one-third of persistent adnexal masses within premenopausal women. It is necessary to use TVS appropriately with up-to-date protocols and regular audit in order to maximize benefits.

Okaro E, Condous G, Bourne T, 2003, The role of ultrasound in the management of menorrhagia, Reviews in Gynaecological Practice, Vol: 3, Pages: 16-25, ISSN: 1471-7697

Menorrhagia is a common symptom. Modern management should be based on a one-stop approach to which transvaginal ultrasound is ideally suited as a primary diagnostic tool. Transvaginal ultrasound is the least invasive investigative tool for assessing the pelvis of women with menorrhagia. Focal pathology such as fibroids and polyps as well as extrauterine pathology can be accurately diagnosed. Hysteroscopy can thus be avoided in the majority of women and focal pathology selected for operative intervention. Outpatient endometrial biopsy should still be used to exclude endometrial pathology. This one-stop ultrasound-based approach clinic provides a rapid, accurate diagnosis, with the minimum of investigations and invasive procedures. In this way, multiple outpatient visits and unnecessary inpatient admissions can be avoided. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
