No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether a new technology called intrauterine photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE) can be used to evaluate the inner lining of the uterus.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Photoacoustic endoprobe

The PAE assessment will be performed in the operating room following strict sterile technique. PAE is performed immediately prior to the planned surgery. Participants are prepped following standard protocol. Length of the endometrial cavity is determined by a uterine sound. Endocervix is dilated as needed to allow passage of the PAE probe. The PAE probe will be advanced to the uterine fundus. Images will be obtained during withdrawal of the PAE probe from fundus to the os. Recorded images will allow computer assisted image analysis and functional measurements to be performed. Duration and difficulty of the procedure will be recorded. Comments and complications will be specifically noted.

PROCEDURE

Photoacoustic endoscopy

Photoacoustic endoscopy probe will be inserted into the endometrial canal to the uterine fundus and images will be obtained during the withdrawal of the probe from the fundus to the endocervical os.
