Study Objective

To provide surgeons with techniques for preemptive analgesia during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Postoperative pain management is an important component of patient care after gynecologic surgery. There have been numerous advances in pain management, including studies that show that preoperative administration of analgesics decreases postoperative pain scores and narcotic medication requirements 1, 2, 3. However, there is limited information on the techniques for preemptive analgesia 4, 5.

Design

An instructional video showing a variety of preemptive analgesia techniques and the corresponding neuroanatomy (Canadian Task Force classification III). Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board approval was not required for this video article.

Setting

Academic Medical Center

Interventions

Relevant abdominopelvic neuroanatomy is reviewed. This is followed by a demonstration of the preemptive analgesia techniques based on neuroanatomy principles.

Conclusion

Techniques for preemptive analgesia are simple and effective. These tools can be used for patients undergoing gynecologic surgeries via a vaginal or abdominal approach and can help optimize postoperative pain and narcotic usage.  相似文献

Study Objective

To show a step-by-step approach to laparoscopic enucleation and excision of retroperitoneal cysts using a technical video.

Design

A technical video (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

A benign gynecology department at a university hospital.

Intervention

Laparoscopic enucleation and excision of retroperitoneal cysts.

Conclusion

Retroperitoneal cysts are rare lesions associated with numerous complications including compression on neighboring organs, infection, rupture, and malignant transformation. Excision of retroperitoneal cysts can be challenging, and dissection of the retroperitoneal space is associated with bowel and vascular injury [1]. Laparoscopic drainage and fenestration have been promoted to prevent visceral injury [2]. Such approaches are ineffective, with increased recurrences and fluid accumulation requiring repeat surgical procedures 3, 4. Successful laparoscopic excision of retroperitoneal cysts has been reported although there are no published videos of the technique [5]. In this video, we use 2 separate cases to show our step-by-step laparoscopic approach to enucleate and excise retroperitoneal cysts. Various methods to safely enter retroperitoneal spaces to avoid inadvertent damage to surrounding structures are detailed. A combination of careful blunt and sharp dissection is used to find specific planes to separate the cyst from the overlying peritoneum and underlying pelvic sidewall structures such as the ureter, vasculature, and nerves. We minimize energy use, and, when it is used, we are mindful regarding active blade positioning of the ultrasonic dissector to prevent inadvertent cyst rupture and injury to the surrounding structures. Keeping the cysts intact aids in leverage and prevents inadvertent spillage of potentially malignant contents. The cysts are retrieved laparoscopically by contained bag decompression.  相似文献

Study Objective

To point out the relevant anatomy of the ureter and to demonstrate its rules of dissection.

Design

An educational video to explain how to use ureteral relevant anatomy and the principle of dissection to perform safe ureterolysis during laparoscopic procedures.

Setting

A tertiary care university hospital and endometriosis referential center.

Interventions

Anatomic keynotes of the ureter and examples of ureterolysis.

Conclusion

This video shows the feasibility of laparoscopic ureteral dissection and provides safety rules to perform ureterolysis. Identification and dissection of the ureter should be part of all gynecologic surgeons’ background to reduce the risk of complications [1]. Knowledge of anatomy plays a pivotal role, allowing the surgeon to keep the ureter at a distance and minimizing the need for ureterolysis. Unfortunately, the need for ureteral dissection is not always predictable preoperatively, and gynecologic surgeons need to master this technique, especially when approaching more complex procedures such as endometriosis [2]. An implicit risk of damage cannot be denied when performing ureterolysis; therefore, the ureter should be dissected only when strictly necessary and handled with care to minimize the use of energy [3].  相似文献

Study Objective

To show the feasibility of the laparoscopic extraperitoneal approach for pelvic metastatic lymph node debulking in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Design

A surgical video article (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

A university hospital.

Patient

A 52-year-old patient presented with stage IIA2 cervical adenocarcinoma according to Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique classification. During the physical examination, a 45-mm tumor was discovered. Positron emission tomographic imaging was positive for hypermetabolic enlarged lymph nodes in the left external iliac region of 1.4-cm size and an standardized uptake value of 21 and in the right obturator region of 1.3-cm size and an standardized uptake value of 7.1; no aortic nodes were found using the imaging procedures. Before chemoradiation therapy, she underwent extraperitoneal aortic lymph node dissection for surgical staging at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain. Pelvic lymph node debulking was proposed to confirm positivity and, if so, to adjust the radiotherapy field and reduce lymph node radioresistance 1, 2.

Interventions

After a complete extraperitoneal aortic infrarenal lymph node dissection as described by Querleu et al [3], the presacral space is created to expose the iliac vessels. The enlarged lymph nodes are identified and dissected using blunt dissection, monopolar energy, and a vessel sealing device.

Measurements and Main Results

There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. The anatomopathologic study confirmed positivity for adenocarcinoma metastasis in 3 pelvic nodes and 2 of 29 aortic nodes.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic debulking of enlarged pelvic lymph nodes via the extraperitoneal approach is a feasible procedure. It can be performed as an extension of extraperitoneal aortic lymphadenectomy in selected patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a modified technique of laparoscopic lateral suspension for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Design

A video illustrating this modified technique of laparoscopic lateral suspension (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

The benign gynecology department at a university hospital.

Interventions

Laparoscopic lateral suspension using mesh is a minimally invasive technique that effectively treats POP [1, 2, 3, 4]. We present a modified technique of laparoscopic lateral suspension that differs from previously described methods [1, 2, 3, 4]. The prominent differences are as follows: first, our modified technique uses Mersilene tape on a 48-mm round-bodied needle (Ethicon Inc, Somerville, NJ,USA). We suspend the vaginal vault, taking a double bite using Mersilene tape without knotting placed as a transversal hammock. Thanks to the Mersilene tape, meshes, sutures, tackers, or fasteners are not needed. Mersilene tape ensures much easier suturing and an inexpensive artificial material. The second difference is that port placement sites (Fig. 1). The third difference is the number of incisions we make (Fig. 1). We do not need 2 additional incisions as used in previously described methods references [1, 2, 3, 4]. We use the same incision for lateral trocar insertion and for pulling out the distal end of the Mersilene tape, which is 2 cm above the iliac crest and 4 cm posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine (Fig. 1). Our technique has the potential to be easier, shorter, more cost-efficient, less invasive, and safer when compared with previously described methods.

Conclusion

Modified laparoscopic lateral suspension, the so-called Mulayim technique, might be considered as an alternative treatment for POP surgery; however, studies should be conducted in a larger number of patients with longer postoperative follow-up periods (Fig. 1).  相似文献

Study Objective

To introduce a creation that combines laparoscopic and Wharton-Sheares-George cervicovaginal reconstruction using a small intestinal submucosa (SIS) graft in a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome who had a rudimentary cavity (U5aC4V4) [1].

Design

A video article introducing a new surgical technique.

Setting

A university hospital.

Patients

A 24-year-old patient had primary amenorrhea and irregular lower abdominal pain for 9 years. The patient was Tanner stage 3 for pubic hair and Tanner stage 4 for breast development. The physical examination revealed no vagina. A primordial uterus and a uterus with a rudimentary cavity were detected by magnetic resonance imaging 2, 3. However, the rudimentary cavity had no hematometra. Magnetic resonance imaging also found a left solitary kidney. The diagnosis was MRKH syndrome with a rudimentary cavity (U5aC4V4) [4]. The patient desired resumption of menses and possible future fertility.

Interventions

Combined laparoscopic and Wharton-Sheares-George cervicovaginal reconstruction using an SIS graft was performed.

Measurements and Main Results

With the Wharton-Sheares-George neovaginoplasty, a vaginal mold with a surrounding SIS graft was inserted into the newly created cavity [5]. Using laparoscopy, the lower uterine segment was incised by shape dissection. The proximal segment of the SIS graft to the lower uterine segment was sutured. A T-shaped intrauterine device with a Foley catheter was fixed in the uterine cavity by the delay of absorbed sutures to prevent cervical or vaginal stenosis. The distal segment of the SIS graft was sutured with the high vaginal or vestibular mucosa vaginally. The operation was successfully completed. The operating time was 2 hours. Hospitalization was 4 days. There were no blood transfusions or complications. The patient had resumption of menses for 2 cycles postoperatively, and she had no dysmenorrhea. The patient did not have sexual intercourse because of the mode in the vagina to prevent vagina stenosis. No cervical stenosis occurred because of the Foley catheter.

Conclusion

In the past, a uterus with a rudimentary cavity in patients with MRKH was always excised, and patients lost the chance of menstrual onset and fertility. Combined laparoscopic and Wharton-Sheares-George cervicovaginal reconstruction using an SIS graft provided a minimally invasive, safe, and effective surgical option for the young patient with MRKH syndrome with a rudimentary cavity. The technique is not complex, is easy to learn and perform, and provided a result with functional and anatomic satisfaction. No special surgical apparatus is needed with this technique.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate laparoscopic colposuspension for recurrent stress incontinence after failed tension-free vaginal tape (TVT).

Design

A technical video showing laparoscopic colposuspension for previously surgically treated stress incontinence (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

A university hospital.

Patient

A 58-year-old woman with previous TVT presents with recurrent stress urinary incontinence.

Measurements and Main Results

Midurethral slings have equivalent cure rates to the more invasive colposuspension. They are preferentially used for stress urinary incontinence despite a mesh erosion rate of 3.5% with 2.5% requiring further surgery, sling removal, or revision over 9 years 1, 2. Recent negative publicity concerning synthetic mesh tape has led to a resurgence of interest in mesh-free alternatives, including urethral bulking agents, rectus fascia slings, and colposuspension. Laparoscopic colposuspension is a well-established minimally invasive surgery that avoids synthetic mesh, with a quicker recovery, less scarring, and equivalent success to an open approach [3]. Bladder neck mobility is an important marker during selection of this technique. In this video, we demonstrate our transperitoneal technique of colposuspension in the case of failed TVT. This technique allows clear visualization of the operating field and is faster and less bloody than a full dissection. Because complications can ensue from extensive excision and extraction, unless the previous TVT has caused problems such as pain, we normally leave it in situ. Careful dissection is undertaken into the Retzius space to the paravaginal tissues where the iliopectineal ligament is located. On each side, we apply 2 extracorporeally tied nonabsorbable Ethibond (Johnson and Johnson Medical NV, Bruxelles, Belgium) sutures as recommended [4], caudal and lateral to the TVT, lifting the paravaginal tissues to the ligament. The knot is placed on the ligament side to minimize erosion risk. The peritoneal defect is closed with a Vicryl 2.0 (Johnson and Johnson Medical NV) suture. This technique offers a viable mesh-free option for the treatment of recurrent stress incontinence in women who have had failed TVT.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate our approach to laparoscopic excision of a noncommunicating rudimentary horn (AmericanSociety for Reproductive Medicine classification II(b), European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology/European Society of Gynaecological Endoscop classification class U4a).

Design

Technical video (Canadian Task Force classification level III).

Setting

University Hospital.

Patient

A 25-year-old women with a left-sided pelvic mass.

Intervention

Laparoscopic excision of noncommunicating rudimentary horn with hysteroscopy and cystoscopy. Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee ruled that approval was not required for this study.

Measurements and Main Results

Noncommunicating rudimentary horns are present in 20% to 25% of women with a unicornuate uterus [1]. Noncommunicating rudimentary horns may be associated with dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, subfertility, and poor obstetric outcomes. Laparoscopic excision of rudimentary horns can be challenging and complex. Factors to consider in relation to the rudimentary horn are attachment to the uterus, presence and course of the ureter, and vascular supply. In this video we demonstrate our approach to laparoscopic excision of a rudimentary horn including preoperative imaging to plan surgical care. A 25-year-old women presented with pelvic pain and underwent a laparotomy for a left-sided pelvic mass. Intraoperatively, a rudimentary horn was suspected, and she was started on a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue pending diagnostic imaging and definitive surgery. Computed tomography demonstrated an absent left kidney and ureter. Intraoperatively, we began with a cystoscopy to identify and confirm an efflux from ureteral openings. A real-time hysteroscopy was performed to identify the unicornuate uterus from the rudimentary horn and to exclude vaginal or cervical anomalies. Through hysteroscopic transillumination the plane of dissection was identified between the rudimentary horn and uterus 2, 3. This technique is especially useful when the rudimentary horn is densely fused to the unicornuate uterus. Retroperitoneal dissection was performed ipsilateral to the rudimentary horn. A lateral approach was used to coagulate the uterine artery at its origin. The bladder was reflected from the horn to allow excision. A Thunderbeat device (Olympus Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) was used to excise the rudimentary horn, keeping very close to the specimen to ensure no penetration of the unicornuate uterus. Hemostasis was achieved, and no additional sutures were required. The specimen was removed using in-bag morcellation.

Conclusion

A stepwise hysteroscopic and laparoscopic approach can be used to safely resect a rudimentary horn as demonstrated by this case.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate techniques of ureterolysis during complex laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Design

Technical video demonstrating different approaches to ureterolysis for complex benign pathology during laparoscopic hysterectomy (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

Benign gynecology department at a university hospital.

Intervention

Performance of ureterolysis during laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign pathology.

Conclusion

Ureteric injury has significant morbidity and is the most common reason for litigation following hysterectomy, with an estimated risk of 0.02% to 0.4%. 1, 2. Ureterolysis is infrequently practiced by benign gynecologists; however, it may be necessary during complex surgery. Benign pathology requiring hysterectomy, such as endometriosis, myomas, large uteri, and adnexal masses, are recognized risk factors for ureteric injury [3]. Most injuries occur during division of the uterine artery at the level of the internal cervical os. The average distance between the ureter and cervix is 2 cm, but it is only 0.5 cm in 3.2% of the population with a normal pelvis [4]. Preventive strategies, such as the use of a uterine manipulator, may increase this distance, although it still might not be sufficient to prevent injury in women with normal anatomic variants and complex pathology. Visualizing the ureter at the pelvic brim and side wall without retroperitoneal dissection may be inadequate because the segment of ureter between the intersection of the uterine artery and the bladder is not visible. The ureter can be safely dissected up to 15 cm without compromising its viability. In this educational video, we demonstrate various simple, quick, and reproducible techniques to perform ureterolysis for complex benign pathology. These techniques can be used by both expert and novice surgeons to perform and teach ureterolysis. Our method determines the course of the ureter throughout the pelvis and relation to the uterine artery to reduce intraoperative injury. We have performed more than 350 cases with no injuries.  相似文献

Study Objective

To show a novel combination laparoscopic and open perineal approach to complete resection of aggressive angiomyxoma.

Design

Step-by-step video demonstration of the combination approach (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

Combined laparoscopic and open perineal approach was performed in the tertiary center.

Patient

A 46-year-old woman presented with an 8-cm vulvar mass, diagnosed as an aggressive angiomyxoma. The patient, who strongly desired to preserve her uterus and ovaries, provided informed consent for resection of the tumor by our combination approach, also approved by our Institutional Review Board.

Intervention

Combined laparoscopic and open perineal approach.

Measurements and Main Results

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that occurs most often in the female pelviperineal region [1]. Aggressive angiomyxoma is locally infiltrative, and high postoperative local recurrence rates (36%–72%) due to incomplete resection have been reported [2]. Therefore, until recently, wide surgical excision with tumor-free margins have been the most commonly accepted treatment. However, aggressive angiomyxoma is a benign, slow-growing tumor, and because extensive surgical resection, which is associated with high operative morbidity rates, has not been shown to have a significant effect on prognosis, a more conservative procedure may be preferable [3]. The mass was located mainly at the left ischiorectal fossa, but it extended above the pelvic diaphragm and was attached to internal obturator muscle, vagina, bladder, urethra, and rectum. We excised the tumor completely and without complications by a combined laparoscopic and open perineal approach. Twelve months have passed since the surgery, and there has been no adjuvant treatment and no sign of recurrence.

Conclusion

Our combination approach to aggressive angiomyxoma in the pelviperineal region is technically feasible, and the good visualization and meticulous dissection provided during the laparoscopic portion of the surgery contribute to complete resection.  相似文献

Study Objective

To show laparoscopic management of an arteriovenous malformation in a patient with deep pelvic endometriosis

Design

A step-by-step explanation of the surgery using an instructive video.

Setting

Hautepierre University Hospital, Strasbourg, France.

Interventions

We describe the case of a 37-year-old patient presenting with deep pelvic endometriosis and a uterine arteriovenous malformation. Deep pelvic endometriosis was diagnosed during a tubal ligation in 2015. Laparoscopy also showed some pelvic varicosities. Hysteroscopy was performed to increase the diagnostic precision. Huge blood vessels with an arterial pulse on the anterior wall of the uterus were found. The endometriosis of the patient was very symptomatic; she suffered from dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, intense dyspareunia, and dyschezia. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated a large arteriovenous shunt in the anterior part of the uterus and bladder endometriosis. After a pluridisciplinary medical staff meeting, we decided to begin treatment with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs. Then, she underwent embolization of the arteriovenous malformation, which produced regression of the lesions as indicated by reevaluation with magnetic resonance imaging. We decided to perform laparoscopic hysterectomy. Evaluation of the abdominal cavity showed diaphragm endometriosis, deep pelvic endometriosis, and the arteriovenous malformation. We started with left ureterolysis and opening of the rectovaginal septum. After that, we radically dissected the left side of the uterus with a left oophorectomy and then the right side, conserving the ovary. Then, we shaved the bladder for endometriosis removal. To finish, we performed a right salpingectomy with a right ovariopexy, vaginal closure, and coagulation of the diaphragm's nodules. The patient agreed to record and publish the surgery, and the local institutional review board gave its approval.

Conclusion

To conclude, preoperative embolization of the arteriovenous shunt improves surgery, avoiding excessive bleeding and permitting easier radical hysterectomy for deep pelvic endometriosis. Similar cases have been published [1], but to our knowledge, our video is the first regarding this subject. It appears that embolization can fail, but hysterectomy remains the gold standard treatment [2].  相似文献

Study Objective

To estimate the incidence of infection after diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures performed in an in-office setting with different distension media (saline solution or CO2).

Design

Prospective, multicenter, observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting

Tertiary women's health centers.

Patients

A total of 42,934 women who underwent hysteroscopy between 2015 and 2017.

Interventions

Of the 42,934 patients evaluated, 34,248 underwent a diagnostic intervention and 8686 underwent an operative intervention; 17,973 procedures used CO2 and 24,961 used saline solution as a distension medium. Patients were contacted after the procedure to record postprocedure symptoms suggestive of infection, including 2 or more of the following signs occurring within the 3 weeks after hysteroscopy: fever; lower abdominal pain; uterine, adnexal, or cervical motion tenderness; purulent leukorrhea; vaginal discharge or itchiness; and dysuria. Vaginal culture, clinical evaluation, transvaginal ultrasound, and histological evaluation were completed to evaluate symptoms.

Measurements and Main Results

Operative hysteroscopies comprised polypectomies (n?=?7125; 82.0%), metroplasty (n?=?731; 15.0%), myomectomy (n?=?378; 7.8%), and tubal sterilization (n?=?194; 4.0%). Twenty-five of the 42,934 patients (0.06%) exhibited symptoms of infection, including 24 patients (96%) with fever, 11 (45.8%) with fever as a single symptom, 7 (29.2%) with fever with pelvic pain, and 10 (41.7%) with fever with dysuria. In 5 patients with fever and pelvic pain, clinical examination and transvaginal ultrasound revealed monolateral or bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess. In these patients, histological examination from surgical specimens revealed the presence of endometriotic lesions.

Conclusion

The present study suggests that routine antibiotic prophylaxis is not necessary before hysteroscopy because the prevalence of infections following in-office hysteroscopy is low (0.06%).  相似文献

Study Objective

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of hysteroscopic myomectomy after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for the treatment of large-sized submucosal myomas with deep intramural invasion that are difficult to treat with 1-step hysteroscopy.

Design

A retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting

An academic university hospital.

Patients

Eight premenopausal patients with symptomatic submucosal myomas with intramural invasion.

Interventions

All of the patients after bilateral UAE underwent subsequent hysteroscopic operation 3 to 15 months after UAE.

Measurements and Main Results

A total of 8 patients who had a large-sized submucosal myoma with deep myometrial invasion were included. The average volume of the submucosal myomas was 87.7±39.9 cm3 as confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging, and the average patient age was 37.6 years. The mean volume reduction of the submucosal myomas was 83.3±16.4% after UAE, and no immediate complications were observed. One-step hysteroscopic myomectomy after UAE was successfully performed in all patients. Leiomyomas with hyaline degeneration were pathologically confirmed. All women showed improved symptoms, and there was no evidence of recurrence 1 year later. One patient conceived naturally and delivered a full-term baby.

Conclusion

In premenopausal women with large-sized symptomatic submucosal myomas with deep myometrial invasion, hysteroscopic myomectomy after UAE is very effective and safe.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a safe laparoscopic procedure for diaphragmatic infiltrative endometriosis.

Design

Video case

Setting

Teaching hospital (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Patients

One patient presenting deep and severe diaphragmatic endometriosis.

Intervention

Laparoscopic cure of diaphragmatic endometriosis.

Measurements and Main Results

Throughout this video, which was approved by the institutional board review, we demonstrate safe and complete surgical treatment of a patient suffering severe pelvic and diaphragmatic endometriosis. The patient complained of menstrual dyspnea and shoulder pain persisting despite hormonal treatment, associated with persistent dyspareunia and pelvic pain despite a previous laparoscopic surgery. Patient positioning and anesthesia were adapted to the special requirements of the surgical technique and the expected risks. The operation consisted of the exposure of the right diaphragm by mobilization of the liver, CO2 laser vaporization of left and right diaphragmatic lesions, nerve-sparing excision of infiltrating nodules, and pleural exploration. Finally, we performed an excision of pelvic endometriosis. Participation of 3 surgical teams to this procedure allowed a safe and complete laparoscopic treatment with resolution of pain symptoms at a 1- and 3-month follow-up.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic treatment allows a safe and complete treatment of diaphragmatic endometriosis.  相似文献

Study Objective

To present a case of a cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy treated by laparoscopic resection followed by isthmocele repair.

Design

A case report.

Settings

The University Gynecology Clinic of the Emergency Clinical City Hospital Timi?oara, Timi?oara, România.

Background

Cesarean scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. In recent years, its prevalence has risen because of the increasing number of cesarean sections. An early diagnosis can lead to early management, decreasing the risk of life-threatening complications such as uterine rupture and massive hemorrhage. Many therapeutic options are available, medical and surgical, but the current literature suggests that the laparoscopic approach with ectopic pregnancy resection is the best option.

Case Report

We present the case of a 30-year-old woman with a previous cesarean section in 2012 who was diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound with a 6-week live pregnancy implanted at the level of the cesarean scar. The initial management was the administration of a 2-dose methotrexate protocol, but after 72 hours the transvaginal ultrasound showed an embryo with cardiac activity still present associated with an increased beta human chorionic gonadotropin level. We decided on laparoscopic surgical treatment, aiming to extract the pregnancy and repair the scar defect. A similar case was presented by Mahgoub et al [1], but their case had a different evolution, with decreasing levels of hCG.

Interventions

In order to reduce the blood loss, the anterior trunks of the hypogastric arteries were clipped. The side wall peritoneum was cut bilaterally, and the ureters and the hypogastric arteries were dissected. Next, we performed the dissection of the vesicouterine space. Because of the previous cesarean section, the identification of the correct dissection plane was difficult. A uterine manipulator was used to facilitate the dissection. The exact location of the gestational sac was demonstrated using intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound. To reduce the bleeding, Glypressin (Ferring GmbH, Saint Prex, Switzerland) was injected at the level of the uterine scar. The cesarean scar was cut using a monopolar knife. The gestation sac was reached easily and then extracted from the abdominal cavity with the use of an endobag. In order to obtain proper healing, the margins of the scar were resected using cold scissors. The hysterotomy was closed using a double-layered suture with 2.0 Vicryl (Ethicon Inc., Cincinnati, OH). We used methylene blue to verify the tightness of the suture. The final step was the removal of the clips.

Measurements and Main Results

The operative time was 85 minutes with minimal blood loss of about 20 mL. The patient recovered well and was discharged 2 days after the procedure. A transvaginal ultrasound was performed 1 month after the surgery showing good healing of the anterior uterine wall.

Conclusion

The laparoscopic approach with excision and repair of the uterine wall represents a safe and efficient therapeutic option for the treatment of the cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy.  相似文献

Study Objective

To evaluate serial generation of microparticles (MPs) after laparoscopic stripping or CO2 laser vaporization in the surgical treatment of patients with ovarian endometrioma (OE).

Design

A prospective, randomized, blinded, pilot study (Canadian Task Force classification I).

Setting

Tertiary care university hospital from December 2014 to July 2016.

Patients

Thirty women with unilateral OE undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Intervention

Patients were randomly selected to undergo either CO2 laser vaporization (L group) or laparoscopic stripping (S group) of OE.

Measurements and Main Results

Blood samples were collected before surgery and at 2 hours, 24 hours, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery. An MP generation curve after OE surgery was created. MP generation was greater in the S group than in the L group at all time points evaluated. The MP generation curve showed a significantly higher area under the curve after excisional surgery (p <.05).

Conclusion

The higher MP levels in the S group suggest an increased inflammation and procoagulant response after this procedure.  相似文献

Study Objective

To assess the usefulness of narrowband imaging (NBI) to detect additional areas of endometriosis not identified by standard white light in patients undergoing laparoscopy for the investigation of pelvic pain.

Design

A prospective cohort trial (Canadian Task Force classification II). Evidence obtained from a well-designed cohort study.

Setting

A tertiary laparoscopic subspecialty unit in Melbourne, Australia.

Patients

Fifty-seven patients undergoing laparoscopy for the investigation of pelvic pain were recruited. Fifty-three patients were eligible for analysis.

Interventions

Patients underwent standard white-light laparoscopy of the pelvis followed by NBI survey to assess for any additional areas suspicious for endometriosis.

Measurements and Main Results

All identified areas of possible endometriosis were resected and sent for blinded histopathological analysis. The additional predictive value of NBI was 0% if the preceding white-light survey was negative and 86% if the preceding white-light survey was positive.

Conclusion

The use of NBI at laparoscopy for the investigation of pelvic pain is beneficial in finding additional areas of endometriosis if endometriosis is already suspected after white-light survey in a tertiary laparoscopic unit. Further research in nonspecialized units may show additional benefit and requires further research. NBI may also be useful as a diagnostic aid for trainees.  相似文献

Study Objective

To evaluate the feasibility of an en-bloc salpingectomy at the time of vaginal hysterectomy for removal of Essure inserts.

Design

Prospective observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-1).

Setting

Monocenter study at the Conception University Hospital Center, Marseille, France.

Patients

Women seeking removal of the Essure device and candidate for vaginal hysterectomy from January 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018.

Interventions

Patient underwent a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy by the vaginal route (VH-S) with en-bloc removal of each hemiuterus with the ipsilateral fallopian tube, thereby allowing for removal of the Essure inserts without fragmentation.

Measurements and Main Results

Twenty-six VH-S were performed. There was no converted case to laparoscopy or laparotomy because of issues regarding feasibility or complications. Removal of each hemiuterus with the ipsilateral tube as a single unit was feasible in all cases. There was 1 Clavien-Dindo grade 1 perioperative complication: a bladder injury that required 10days of urinary catheterization. There were 2 grade 2 postoperative complications: 1 case of metrorrhagia of a granuloma on the vaginal fundus that was treated with silver nitrate and 1 case of acute urinary retention that required urinary catheterization for 24hours.

Conclusion

Performing a VH-S with en-bloc removal of the hemiuterus with the ipsilateral tube without fragmentation orsectioning of the Essure inserts appears to be feasible. The vaginal route can hence be an approach for women who undergo hysterectomy during Essure insert surgery removal.  相似文献
