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 investigate ethnic differences for moderate-to-severe endometriosis.

Design

Analysis of a prospective registry (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting

Tertiary referral center.

Patients

A total of 1594 women with pelvic pain and/or endometriosis.

Interventions

None

Measurements and Main Results

On logistic regression, adjusting for potential confounders, East/South East Asians were 8.3 times more likely than whites to have a previous diagnosis of stage III/IV endometriosis before referral (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 8.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.74–18.57), 2.7 times more likely to have a palpable nodule (aOR, 2.66; 95% CI, 1.57–4.52), 4.1 times more likely to have an endometrioma on ultrasound (aOR, 4.10; 95% CI, 2.68–6.26), and 10.9 times more likely to have stage III/IV endometriosis at the time of surgery at our center (aOR, 10.87; 95% CI, 4.34–27.21).

Conclusion

Moderate-to-severe endometriosis was more common in women with East or South East Asian ethnicity in our tertiary referral center.  This could be explained by East/South East Asians with minimal to mild disease being less likely to seek care or genetic/environmental differences that increase the risk of more severe disease among East/South East Asians.

Research question

The aim of this study was to compare expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), angiogenesis and apoptosis in endometrial tissue near the implantation window of women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and in fertile control women, and to describe possible mechanisms of endometrial injury.

Design

A controlled clinical study was conducted. Endometrial tissue specimens were obtained from 20 women undergoing IVF who had had at least three previous failed treatment cycles; normal endometrial specimens were obtained from 10 fertile control women.

Results

HIF-1α expression was down-regulated in the endometrium of women with RIF compared with that of control women. In addition, micro-vessel density (MVD) was much lower in the endometrium of women with RIF than in that of the control women. Apoptosis was significantly reduced in the endometrium of the RIF group compared with the control group. Endometrial injury increased HIF-1α expression and MVD in endometrial samples of the RIF group, but apoptosis was not significantly altered.

Conclusions

HIF-1α expression, MVD and endometrial apoptosis were reduced in the peri-implantation endometrium of women with RIF. This suggests that altered endometrial HIF-1α expression and angiogenesis may contribute to implantation failure.  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 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

Study Objective

To prospectively evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for symptomatic subserosal uterine myomas.

Design

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

Setting

A teaching hospital (Department of Interventional Ultrasound, General Hospital of Chinese PLA, Beijing, China).

Patients

Sixty-nine patients with symptomatic subserosal uterine myomas treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation.

Interventions

All 69 patients underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation. The number of patients lost to follow-up at was 21 at 3 months, 34 at 6 months, and 35 at 12 months.

Measurements and Main Results

The efficacy of treatment was evaluated based the mean myoma volume shrinkage rate and changes in Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life Questionnaire scores at 3, 6, and 12 months after therapy. Treatment safety was evaluated based on the Society of Interventional Radiology practice guidelines. The mean patient age was 40.3 ± 4.9 years (range, 26–49 years). The mean myoma volume was 221.74 ± 153.18 cm3 before ablation, decreasing to 87.24 ± 45.93 cm3 at 3 months after ablation (p < .001), 46.68 ± 24.7 cm3 at 6 months after ablation (p < .001), and 38.05 ± 24.93 cm3 at 12 months after ablation (p <.001), respectively. Between pretreatment and 3-month follow-up, the mean symptom severity score decreased from 34.53 ± 3.83 to 12.74 ± 3.07 (p < .001), and the mean health-related quality of life score increased from 45.25 ± 10.97 to 78.48 ± 11.39 (p < .001). Both scores remained stable at the 6- and 12-month follow-up time points. No permanent injury or fatal complications were seen in this series.

Conclusion

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation of subserosal uterine myomas is a promising treatment method. Further studies with larger sample sizes and a control group are needed.  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 examine the association between race/ethnicity, route of hysterectomy, and risk of inpatient surgical complications.

Design

Cross-sectional analysis (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

Inpatient hospitals in the United States.

Patients and Interventions

There were 114 719 women aged 18 and older from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample who underwent an elective hysterectomy for benign indications using International Classification of Diseases codes.

Measurements and Main Results

Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the association between race/ethnicity and route of hysterectomy and surgical complications, after adjusting for patient characteristics, clinical factors, and hospital characteristics. Analyses were weighted to provide national estimates of prevalence. The rate of minimally invasive hysterectomy was 55.0% in white women, 28.6% in black women, 50.1% in Hispanic women, and 45.6% in other race/ethnic categories. Compared with white women, black women had a .55 odds (95% confidence interval, .52–.59) of undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy, after adjusting for patient, clinical, and hospital characteristics. This finding remained consistent across quartiles of median household income of residence, primary payer, and diagnosis of myomas. Among women who had an elective hysterectomy, 6091 experienced a complication, representing an estimated 30 455 women nationwide. The rate of surgical complications was 5.3% in white women, 5.9% in black women, 4.6% in Hispanic women, and 5.1% in women of other racial/ethnic groups. There was no difference in odds of experiencing a surgical complication between white and black women (odds ratio, 1.03; 95% confidence interval, .93–1.13) after adjusting for patient, clinical, and hospital characteristics. This finding remained consistent across quartiles of median household income of residence, primary payer, and route of hysterectomy.

Conclusion

Among women undergoing an elective hysterectomy, black women were less likely to receive minimally invasive hysterectomy compared with white women. However, the rate of inpatient surgical complications did not vary significantly by race/ethnicity. Further research is encouraged to identify and address the influential factors behind the disparity in minimally invasive hysterectomy use among black women in the United States.  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

Objective

To review the evidence and provide an opinion as to whether universal cervical length screening to prevent preterm birth should be adopted across Canada.

Outcomes

Outcomes evaluated include prevention of preterm birth.

Evidence

Literature searches using Knowledge Finder, Medline and Cochrane databases were searched for articles published up to April 2018 on cervical length screening for prevention of preterm birth.

Values

The evidence obtained was reviewed and evaluated by the Diagnostic Imaging Committee of the SOGC under the leadership of the principal authors, and recommendations were made according to guidelines developed by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care.

Benefits, Harms, and Costs

The prevention of preterm birth in a cost-effective manner is of significant importance to the health of mothers and their families. This committee opinion will summarize the current evidence for universal cervical length screening to prevent preterm birth in Canada, determine whether it meets the Junger and Wilson criteria for screening tests, and make recommendations as to its use in Canada.

Validation

These guidelines have been reviewed and approved by the Diagnostic Imaging Committee of the SOGC and The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC).

Study Objective

To compare fetal, maternal, and operative outcomes of laparoscopic surgery versus laparotomy for major benign diseases including appendicitis, cholecystitis, adnexal masses, and uterine myoma during pregnancy.

Design

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

Setting

The Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, a national inpatient database for acute care inpatients in Japan.

Patients

Eligible patients (n?=?6018) underwent abdominal surgery (4047 laparotomy and 1971 laparoscopy patients) from July 2010 through March 2016.

Interventions

The 2 groups were compared using propensity score matching analysis.

Measurements and Main Results

The primary outcome was fetal adverse events, including abortion or stillbirth within 7 days after surgery and premature delivery during hospitalization. Secondary outcomes were operative time, blood transfusion, and length of hospital stay after surgery. Propensity score matching created 740 pairs. Significant difference was observed in the primary outcome between propensity score–matched patients in the laparotomy versus laparoscopy group (1.8% vs .41%, respectively; risk difference, ?1.4%; 95% confidence interval, ?2.4 to ?.30; p?=?.01). Compared with the laparotomy group, the laparoscopy group had a significantly lower incidence of blood transfusion (2.3% vs .41%, p = .002), shorter operative time (115 vs 95 minutes, p <.001), and shorter hospital stay (9.2 vs 5.9 days, p <.001).

Conclusion

Our current study using propensity score matching suggests the advantages of laparoscopic surgery for benign diseases compared with laparotomy because laparoscopic surgery had advantages in short-term fetal adverse events, incidence of blood transfusion, operative time, and hospital stay.  相似文献

Study Objective

To evaluate safety and effectiveness of the combination of hysteroscopic endometrial focal resection with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IA G1 early endometrial cancer (EEC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) in young women to preserve their fertility.

Design

Retrospective case series (Canadian Task Force classification II-3).

Setting

University Federico II, Naples, Italy.

Patients

The medical records of 69 consecutive patients treated from 2007 to 2017 with diagnosis of EEC (n?=?14) or AEH (n?=?55) meeting inclusion criteria were reviewed.

Interventions

Patients with focal EEC were treated by hysteroscopic resection of the lesion according to Mazzon's technique; patients with AEH were treated by superficial endometrial resection, preserving the basal layer of the endometrium. An LNG-IUD was inserted in all patients after surgery. Patients were followed for 24 months with serial hysteroscopic biopsies.

Measurements and Main Results

Rates of response, live birth, and recurrence were assessed. Of the 14 patients with EEC, 11 (78.6%) achieved a complete response, 2 (18.2%) of whom had subsequent relapse, 1 (7.1%) showed partial response, whereas 2 (14.3%) were nonresponders (1 stable disease and 1 progression). Of the 55 patients with AEH, 51 (92.7%) achieved a complete response, 2 (3.9%) of whom had subsequent relapse, 3 (5.5%) showed partial response, whereas only 1 (1.8%) was nonresponder with stable disease. Among 25 patients who had removed the LNG-IUD, 10 (40%) gave birth after natural conception in the last 12 months of follow-up.

Conclusion

The combination of hysteroscopic resection with an LNG-IUD as fertility-sparing treatment of EEC and AEH showed similar response and live birth rates compared with those reported in literature for progestins alone, but with considerably lower relapse rate. We advocate the use of this combined approach as an alternative fertility-sparing option in patients with ECC and AEH.  相似文献

Study Objective

To compare the number of days required to return to daily activities after laparoscopic hysterectomy with 2 tissue extraction methods: manual morcellation via colpotomy or minilaparotomy. Secondary outcomes were additional measures of patient recovery, perioperative outcomes, containment bag integrity, and tissue spillage.

Design

Multicenter prospective cohort study and follow-up survey (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting

Two tertiary care academic centers in northeastern United States.

Patients

Seventy women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy with anticipated need for manual morcellation.

Interventions

Tissue extraction by either contained minilaparotomy or contained vaginal extraction method, along with patient-completed recovery diary.

Measurements and Main Results

Recovery diaries were returned by 85.3% of participants. There were no significant differences found in terms of average pain at 1, 2, or 3 weeks after surgery or in time to return to normal activities. Patients in both groups used narcotic pain medication for an average of 3 days. After adjusting for patient body mass index, history of prior surgery, uterine weight, and surgeon, there were no differences found for blood loss, operative time, length of stay, or incidence of any intra- or postoperative complication between groups. All patients had benign findings on final pathology. More cases in the vaginal contained extraction group were noted to have bag leakage on postprocedure testing (13 [40.6%] vs 3 [8.3%] tears in vaginal and minilaparotomy groups, respectively; p?=?.003).

Conclusion

Regarding route of tissue extraction, contained minilaparotomy and contained vaginal extraction methods are associated with similar patient outcomes and recovery characteristics.  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 long-term safety and efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT).

Design

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

Setting

Tertiary referral center in China.

Patients

Between January 2004 and December 2005, 85 consecutive patients who underwent the TVT procedure were included. Patients with mixed incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse requiring surgery were excluded.

Interventions

TVT procedure.

Measurements and Main Results

The primary outcomes were long-term postoperative complications. The secondary outcomes included long-term subjective satisfaction (Patient Global Impression of Improvement), objective cure rate (stress test), quality of life, and sexual function. At the 13-year follow-up, 70 patients (82%) were available for evaluation. De novo overactive bladder was observed in 15.7% of patients, and voiding symptoms were found in 17.1% of patients. None of the patients reported voiding dysfunction that needed treatment with tape removal or catheterization. Tape exposure occurred in 2.9% of patients. The subjective satisfaction rate and objective cure rate were 78.6% and 81.4%, respectively.

Conclusion

TVT is a safe and effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence, even at the 13-year follow-up. The prevalence rates of overactive bladder and voiding symptoms are increased with advancing age and should not be considered long-term postoperative complications.  相似文献

Study Objective

To examine the potential beneficial effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and fibrin sealant (TISSEEL; Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL) on bowel wound healing after shaving of an experimentally induced endometriotic lesion.

Design

A single-blind, randomized study (Canadian Task Force classification I).

Setting

A certified animal research facility.

Animals

Thirty female Sprague-Dawley rats.

Interventions

Experimental colonic endometriosis was induced by transplanting endometrial tissue to all animals (first surgery). Thirty rats were then randomized to 1 of 3 groups according to treatment; PRP (group 1, n?=?10), fibrin sealant (group 2, n?=?10), or no agent (group 3, n?=?10) was applied after shaving of the endometriotic nodule (second surgery).

Measurements and Main Results

Colonic endometriosis was successfully induced in all subjects. Four days after the second surgery, the animals were euthanized, and microscopic evaluation was performed. The pathologist was blinded to the treatment method. Histopathologic analysis revealed that compared with the control group, collagen disposition was found in a significantly higher expression in both the PRP and fibrin sealant groups (p?=?.011 and p?=?.011, respectively). Distortion of the integrity of the colon layers was statistically more pronounced in the control group compared with the fibrin sealant group (p?=?.033), whereas greater new blood vessel formation was observed in the fibrin sealant group compared with the control (p?=?.023). No histologic evidence of residual or recurrent disease was detected.

Conclusion

Both PRP and fibrin sealant appear to be safe and associated with improved tissue healing during shaving for the excision of colonic endometriosis, attributed to the enhanced collagen disposition, neovascularization, and protection of the integrity of colon layers. Clinical trials are warranted to confirm the feasibility of PRP and fibrin sealant in the clinical setting.  相似文献

Research question

How diagnostically accurate is two-dimensional (2D-TVS) compared with three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography (3D-TVS) in diagnosing adenomyosis of the inner myometrium. What is the most accurate combination of ultrasonographic features?

Design

Premenopausal women (n?=?110) scheduled for hysterectomy or transcervical resection of the endomyometrium owing to abnormal uterine bleeding were consecutively enrolled. All participants had real-time 2D-TVS and, later, blinded off-line 3D-TVS to diagnose adenomyosis. Results were compared with a detailed histopathological examination of the inner myometrium as gold standard.

Results

Prevalence of adenomyosis of the inner myometrium was 29%. For 2D-TVS and 3D-TVS, respectively, the diagnostic accuracy was sensitivity 72% (95% CI 53 to 86) and 69% (95% CI 50 to 84); specificity 76% (95% CI 65 to 85) and 86% (95% CI 76–93); and area under the curve (AUC) 0.74 (95% CI 0.7 to 0.8) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.7 to 0.9). Specificity of 3D-TVS was not statistically significantly better than 2D-TVS; the difference between them almost reached statistical significance (P?=?0.06). The most accurate three-dimensional feature was junctional zone irregularity (JZmax–JZmin ≥5mm) (AUC: 0.78). A combination of two or more two-dimensional and two or more three-dimensional features was highly accurate (AUC: 0.77).

Conclusions

For diagnosing adenomyosis of the inner myometrium, 3D-TVS offers a high accuracy similar to 2D-TVS. Identification of junctional zone irregularity with 3D-TVS may be beneficial to diagnosis. Two or more two-dimensional features and two or more three-dimensional features combined may give a more objective diagnosis, and may be useful for clinical practice and future research.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a method of vaginal closure with the EndoGIA surgical stapler (Medtronic, Istanbul, Turkey) to prevent tumor spillage in laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.

Design

A step-by-step explanation of the procedure using a video.

Setting

Women's health teaching and research hospital.

Patient

A 40-year-old woman with clinical stage IBI cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

Interventions

Laparoscopic type C radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection and ovarian transposition. Institutional ethical committee approval was not sought. However, the patient signed an informed consent that allows us to use her clinical data.

Measurements and Main Results

Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly being used in cervical cancer surgery. However, there is a current and significant debate regarding the safety of these methods. Colpotomy, which is the last step of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, could be related to an increased risk for tumor spillage. Vaginal closure before colpotomy may be an option to prevent this spillage. In this method, after completion of the radical hysterectomy steps, the initial 5-mm left lower quadrant trocar was changed to a 15-mm trocar to allow for the placement of an EndoGIA with a green cartridge. The uterine manipulator was removed, and the uterus was elevated with a myoma screw. Then, the stapler was placed, and we checked that no other unintended structure was included in the jaws of the stapler before the firing. The EndoGIA surgical stapler was fired 2times to close the vagina. The stapler places 2 triple-staggered rows of titanium staples and knife blade cuts simultaneously between them. Once the vagina was divided, the stapler was released. The upper part of the vaginal cuff was excised and sent to pathology as a surgical margin, and the uterus was removed through the vagina. Finally, the vaginal cuff was closed with intracorporeal suturing.

Conclusion

Vaginal closure with the EndoGIA surgical stapler before colpotomy provides a safe and easy method to prevent tumor spillage and could improve the unfavorable results related to minimally invasive surgery in patients with cervical cancer.  相似文献

Study Objective

Τo investigate whether the use of vasopressin played an important role in the safe expansion of the indications of laparoscopic myomectomy in our practice.

Design

A retrospective comparison of prospectively collected data (Canadian Task Force classification II2).

Setting

A gynecologic endoscopy unit in a tertiary university hospital.

Patients

One hundred fifty patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy; 50 were treated without the use of any vasoconstrictive agent (group 1), and 100 were treated with intraoperative intramyometrial injection of dilute vasopressin (20 IU/100 mL normal saline) (group 2).

Interventions

Laparoscopic myomectomy.

Measurements and Main Results

We compared the 2 groups in terms of size, number, and type of myomas; estimated blood loss (EBL); procedure length; transfusion rates; laparoconversion rates; and rates of complications. Two cases in group 1 (4%) were laparoconverted versus none (0%) in group 2. Overall, the mean EBL was 321.8 ± 246.0 mL in group 1 compared with 147.8 ± 171.8 mL in group 2, respectively (p <.001). Additionally, EBL was significantly lower in the vasopressin group in all of the study's subgroups of patients stratified according to the size and number of myomas. Procedure length did not differ significantly between the 2 groups (130.8 ± 49.5 vs 115.6 ± 49.4 minutes, p?=?.078). The risk factors for prolongation of the procedure included size and number of myomas independently of vasopressin. The rates of hypercapnea and subcutaneous emphysema were higher in group 1. The risk factors for hypercapnea and subcutaneous emphysema included the size and intramural position of the largest myoma. Vasopressin was not associated with serious cardiovascular adverse events.

Conclusions

Vasopressin is effective in reducing blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy. Although experienced surgeons may achieve comparable operation times without vasopressin, even in the most challenging cases, blood loss may still be considerable. The occurrence of hypercapnea is higher in untreated cases and may contribute to laparoconversion.  相似文献

Study Objective

To compare the efficacy of oral diclofenac potassium versus hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (HBB) in reducing pain perception in patients undergoing diagnostic office hysteroscopy (OH).

Design

A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial (Canadian Task Force classification I).

Setting

A university hospital.

Interventions

One-hundred twenty-nine patients were divided randomly into 3 groups (n?=?43 in each group); group 1 received 50mg diclofenac potassium, group 2 received 20mg HBB, and group 3 received placebo tablets. All tablets were taken orally 1hour before OH. The primary outcome was the participant's self-rated pain perception using the 10-point visual analog scale during the procedure. The secondary outcomes included the visual analog scale score 30 minutes after OH, ease of OH assessment using a 10-cm scale, duration of OH, and adverse effects of the study medications.

Measurements and Main Results

Both the diclofenac and HBB groups showed significant pain score reduction compared with the placebo group (p?=?.001). The mean pain score in the diclofenac group was significantly lower than the HBB group (2.12 ± 1.03vs 3.02 ± 1.55, respectively; p?=?.002). The pain scores in the diclofenac and HBB groups immediately after OH were significantly lower than the placebo group (p?=?.001), and the mean pain score in the diclofenac group was significantly lower than the HBB group (1.23 ± 0.57vs 1.56 ± 0.73, respectively; p?=?.024). The ease of procedure score was significantly lower in the diclofenac and HBB groups than the placebo group (p?=?.003 and p?=?.005, respectively). The mean duration of the procedure was significantly less in the diclofenac group (p?=?.01). Fourteen women (32.6%) in the HBB group experienced dizziness and 2 women (4.6%) had nausea, whereas only 4 women (9.3%) in the diclofenac group had dizziness and 2 women (4.6%) had vomiting.

Conclusion

Oral diclofenac potassium administration 1hour before diagnostic OH reduces the procedure pain with subsequent easier and shorter OH duration. Oral HBB is less effective than diclofenac potassium with more adverse effects.  相似文献
