Zusammenfassung

Die sonografische Basisuntersuchung in der Gynäkologie umfasst Diagnostik und Differenzialdiagnostik in der täglichen Praxis: Gesundheitsvorsorge, Abgrenzung der Normalbefunde von pathologischen Befunden wie kongenitale Fehlbildungen, benigne und maligne Tumoren, Adnextorsionen, entzündliche Erkrankungen des inneren Genitals, Endometriose, gestörte Frühgraviditäten und Tubargraviditäten sowie Fragestellungen zu Kontrazeption und Fertilität. Die Standardisierung der Untersuchungstechnik sowie die genaue Definition der Leistungsinhalte für die Basisdiagnostik und für die weiterführende Diagnostik (DEGUM-Stufe II) analog des schon seit Jahren in der pränatalen Diagnostik bewährten Mehrstufenkonzepts der DEGUM sind inzwischen auch in die gynäkologische Sonografie implementiert worden. Als Grundlage für eine strukturierte Aus- und Weiterbildung im Rahmen dieses Stufenkonzepts haben DEGUM, ÖGUM und SGUM die Qualitätsanforderungen und die Leistungsinhalte für gynäkologische sonografische Basisuntersuchungen (DEGUM-Stufe I) entsprechend dem gegenwärtigen Kenntnisstand sowie anhand nationaler und internationaler Standards und Empfehlungen aktualisiert.
