ABSTRACT
To compare and correlate the pelvic examination in adnexal masses with pelvic ultrasound and peroperative findings. June 2006 to May 2007. Descriptive observational study. A sample set of 22 patients with adnexal masses have been included in the study to do a comparative study of the pelvic examination with pelvic ultrasound and peroperative findings. Our analysis show a wide range of diversity among the age groups of our sample set. The majority of the patients [81.8%] belong to the reproductive age group between 20-40 years and only 13% of patients are menopausal. Another important observation is that 87% of all patients visited out patient department with subacute symptoms and remaining 13% presented with acute symptoms in the Emergency Department. Moreover, 54.54% have right-sided adnexal masses and the remaining 45.45% have left-sided adnexal masses. We have seen only in the 9% of cases that the operative findings are different from that of the ultrasound examination. The final outcome of our research is that the ultrasound examination - an important noninvasive investigation - can only be used as a complementary method to the pelvic examination because the findings can be accurately confirmed only on laparoscopy
