Study Objective

To demonstrate a laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgical approach to salpingectomy.

Design

A technical video showing step-by-step a LESS surgical approach to salpingectomy (Canadian Task Force classification level III). Institutional review board approval was not required for this study.

Setting

Of all gynecologic cancer types, ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate and is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among women 1, 2. The leading theory of epithelial ovarian carcinogenesis indicates that serous, endometrioid, and clear cell ovarian carcinomas originated from the fallopian tube and endometrium and not directly from the ovary itself 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. This has led to the use of prophylactic salpingectomy as a theoretical form of ovarian cancer risk reduction at the time of hysterectomy or as a means of tubal sterilization. Prophylactic salpingectomy does not appear to increase the risk of complications and appears to be safe [2]. Ovarian function does not seem to be compromised by salpingectomy based on serum markers or response rates with in vitro fertilization 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. A LESS approach may reduce the morbidity associated with the placement of multiple ports and can improve cosmetic outcomes. Prophylactic LESS bilateral salpingo-oohorectomy was shown to be feasible and safe for high-risk patients for ovarian cancer [17].

Interventions

Laparoscopic salpingectomy at the time of hysterectomy or as a means of tubal sterilization using the LESS technique.

Conclusion

This is a simple and reproducible technique for preventing major complications associated with LESS salpingectomy. This approach permits easier specimen retrieval because of the large solitary incision that is made. There is a significant improvement in cosmetic satisfaction when compared with a traditional laparoscopic approach in the setting of prophylactic risk reduction surgery [18].  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate vaginal salpingectomy techniques in the presence of ovarian conservation.

Design

Technical video demonstrating 2 methods of Fallopian tube removal with illustrations (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

The prevalence of salpingectomy at the time of hysterectomy has increased significantly since 1998 [1]. One reason for the increased rate of salpingectomy is the relationship of serous ovarian carcinomas to fimbrial serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas [2]. A Swedish population-based study reported that salpingectomy is an effective measure to reduce ovarian cancer risk in the general population [3]. Prophylactic salpingectomy and delayed oophorectomy may be an acceptable alternative in some BRCA mutation carriers [4]. A retrospective cohort study of 425 vaginal hysterectomies showed that 88% of patients were able to successfully undergo concomitant salpingectomy [5]. Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board approval was not required for this video article.

Intervention

Two methods of salpingectomy are demonstrated differing in the final disposition of the proximal Fallopian tube (segment). The 2 different methods are shown to increase clarity and understanding of the technique.

Conclusion

Salpingectomy without concomitant removal of the ovaries at vaginal hysterectomy is a feasible and beneficial procedure.  相似文献

Study Objective

To present a modified technique for laparoscopic cornual resection for the surgical treatment of heterotopic istmocornual pregnancy.

Design

A step-by-step explanation of the surgery using video (Canadian Task Force Classification III-c).

Setting

Heterotopic pregnancy is the coexistence of pregnancy in both the intrauterine and extrauterine sides. The incidence is 1 in 30 000 in spontaneous pregnancies; however, the incidence increased to 1 in 100 to 1 in 500 pregnancies with the increasing number of artificial reproductive technologies 1, 2. Although management is controversial, there are 2 main approaches classified as surgical and nonsurgical. The administration of potassium chloride, methotrexate, and/or hyperosmolar glucose is a nonsurgical intervention; however, there are some limitations such as systemic side effects and the possible adverse effect on a live fetus 1, 2, 3. For this reason, surgical intervention involving cornual resection is the main treatment option.

Case Report

A 32-year-old patient was admitted to our clinic with sudden-onset pain at the left groin. She was at the 11th week of gestation. She had a diagnosis of infertility for 7 years, and she became pregnant after an in vitro fertilization cycle. At sonographic examination, 2 gestational sacs were detected, 1 with a live fetus settled into the uterus and the second (20-mm length) on the left cornual side without a yolk sac and embryo and the left adnexa accompanied with coagulated blood. Immediate laparoscopic surgery was planned. At the laparoscopic exploration, left istmocornual pregnancy that was ruptured and bleeding were observed. We performed a modified technique for laparoscopic cornual resection in which the uterine corn was tightened with the noose twice, and the corn was sutured circularly to avoid excessive bleeding. Initially, the mesosalpinx was coagulated and transected with bipolar energy. Afterward, the uterine corn was tightened with the noose twice, and the fallopian tube was removed. To reduce the bleeding during remnant cornual tissue extraction, a permanent 0 monofilament suture was passed deep into the myometrium and tightened to achieve better hemostasis. Then, the remnant cornual tissue was extracted with harmonic scissors, and the uterine wound was repaired with continuous suture to reduce the risk of uterine rupture during the ongoing pregnancy. Depot progesterone was administered just before the surgery and the day after. She was discharged on the first postoperative day. At the follow-up, she did not experience any problems during pregnancy, and she was delivered with cesarean section at 39 weeks’ gestation.

Conclusion

In conclusion, laparoscopic surgery is a safe and feasible option for the treatment of heterotopic pregnancy, and control of bleeding can be achieved better with our modified technique.  相似文献

Study Objective

Laparoscopic excision of a scar pregnancy and isthmocele repair with a barbed suture.

Design

A step-by-step explanation of the laparoscopic excision technique of a scar pregnancy and isthmocele repair.

Setting

Cesarean scar pregnancy occurs as a result of attachment of the products of conception to the uterine scar 1, 2, 3. In the present case, a 34-year-old, gravida 4, para 1 patient with a history of 1 miscarriage and 1 ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed with type 2 cesarean scar pregnancy at 7 weeks of gestation. Dilation and curretage was performed at the 8th week of gestation to terminate the pregnancy. On ultrasonography performed 1 month later, placental material underlying the isthmocele was observed. Her beta human chorionic gonadotropin level was 13 836 mIU/mL. She was followed up for 1.5 months until the beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels were negative. However, the mass underneath the scar had grown larger, measuring up to 5?×?6?cm. Laparoscopy was performed because the patient reported vaginal spotting and pelvic pain. The incision was sutured with a synthetic absorbable unidirectional barbed suture (Stratafix Knotless Tissue Control Device; Ethicon Inc., Somerville, NJ). No residual scar defect was visible on follow-up ultrasonography 1 week and 1 month after surgery.

Conclusion

Barbed sutures ease the repair of uterine scar defects and can provide ideal reapproximation of thick myometrial tissue. Laparoscopic treatment of a scar pregnancy and isthmocele repair are effective and safe modes of treatment.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a step by step surgical hysteroscopy technique in a patient with asymmetric uterine septum and transverse uterine septum that was not previously described in the literature.

Design

Resection of an asymmetric uterine septum by laparoscopy and ultrasound-guided hysteroscopy (Canadian Task Force classification III). The video was assumed exempt from official review by our institutional review board.

Setting

A septate uterus is defined as the uterus in which the uterine cavity is longitudinally divided by the septum [1]. The most common uterine anomaly, septate uterus has a spectrum of configurations ranging from complete septate to incomplete septate uterus. Asymmetric uterine septum was reported only as case reports in the literature and is described as Robert's uterus [2]. This unique malformation is described as a septate uterus with a noncommunicating hemicavity, composed of a blind uterine horn usually with unilateral hematometra, and a contralateral unicornuate uterine cavity. The external uterine shape is normal. The asymmetric septum with transverse uterine septum in the present case has not yet been reported in the literature.

Patient

A 29-year-old woman presented to our clinic with primary amenorrhea, cyclic pelvic pain, and the desire to have pregnancy. She previously had failed 2 laparoscopy and hysteroscopy procedures for fertility treatments. Hysterosalpingography previously had been failed. The patient previously underwent magnetic resonance imaging. The magnetic resonance imaging report states there was no connection between the uterus and cervix. On external genital organs assessment, there was no abnormal sign. Ultrasonography revealed 2 uterine cavities and hematometra. Both ovaries were in normal view.

Interventions

In view of her examination findings, the patient was scheduled for laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Laparoscopy revealed extensive adhesions on both the pelvis and upper abdomen. Initially, the uterus and ovaries were not visualized. Adhesiolysis was performed, and normal anatomy was restored. After this step, the operation was continued by laparoscopy and ultrasound-guided hysteroscopy. Under ultrasound and laparoscopy guidance, the transverse uterine septum at the level of uterine isthmus was incised and the left endometrial cavity was observed with hysteroscopy. The asymmetric uterine septum was then incised, and the right-sided endometrial cavity was then accessed. Finally, the uterine septum was completely incised and both sides of the endometrial cavities were merged. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged 24 hours after surgery. She returned for follow-up examination in the second month after surgery. She had regular menstrual cycles, and her pain was cured.

Conclusion

Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy combined with ultrasound is a useful method for the diagnosis and treatment of asymmetric uterine septum. The skill and experience of the laparoscopic surgeon is another important factor to identify and manage unusual uterine malformations.  相似文献

Study Objective

Uterine transplantation has proven feasible since the first live birth reported in 2014. To enable attachment of the uterus in the recipient, long vascular pedicles of the uterine and internal iliac vessels were obtained during donor hysterectomy, which required a prolonged laparotomy to the living donors. To assist further attempts at uterine transplantation, our video serves to review literature reports of internal iliac vein anatomy and demonstrate a laparoscopic dissection of cadaver pelvic vascular anatomy.

Design

Observational (Canadian Task Force Classification III).

Setting

Academic anatomic laboratory. Institutional Review Board ruled that approval was not required for this study.

Intervention

Literature review and laparoscopic dissection of cadaveric pelvic vasculature, focusing on the internal iliac vein.

Measurements and Main Results

Although the internal iliac artery tends to have minimal anatomic variation, its counterpart, the internal iliac vein, shows much variation in published studies 1, 2. Relative to the internal iliac artery, the vein can lie medially or laterally. Normal anatomy is defined as some by meeting 2 criteria: bilateral common iliac vein formed by ipsilateral external and internal iliac vein at a low position and bilateral common iliac vein joining to form a right-sided inferior vena cava [2]. Reports show 79.1% of people have normal internal iliac vein anatomy by these criteria [2]. The cadaver dissection revealed internal iliac vein anatomy meeting criteria for normal anatomy.

Conclusion

Understanding the complexity and variations of internal iliac vein anatomy can assist future trials of uterine transplantation.  相似文献

Study Objective

To present an unusual consequence of laparoscopic treatment of diaphragmatic endometriosis, to discuss the possible etiologies, and to propose proper management.

Design

A step-by-step explanation of 2 surgeries of the same patient using intraoperative video sequences (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

University hospital.

Patient

A 32-year-old woman.

Interventions

Two Laparoscopic surgeries.

Measurements and Main Results

Endometriosis is estimated to affect 11% of the population 1, 2, with an estimated 12% of these patients having extrapelvic endometriosis [3]. When the diaphragm is involved, the disease potentially causes severe and debilitating symptoms such as catamenial chest or shoulder pain. Serious complications may involve pneumothorax and hemopneumothorax 4, 5, 6. Diaphragmatic endometriosis is more common than realized and has been shown to occur simultaneously in 50% to 80% of cases with pelvic endometriosis 7, 8. A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with severe disabling dysmenorrhea and right shoulder pain. Despite progestin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and opioid treatment, pain relief remained inadequate. A laparoscopy was performed revealing diaphragmatic endometriosis, which was completely excised. A revision was necessary 14 months later because of pain recurrence in the right hemithorax and suspicion of new or persistent endometriotic lesions. The laparoscopy revealed small diaphragm fenestrations that were closed after exclusion of recurrent diaphragmatic or pleural endometriosis. No chest tube was placed, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Hormonal suppressive treatment was continued. Since the operation the patient has been pain free. Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee ruled that approval was not required for this study (Req-2017-00415).

Conclusion

The diaphragm fenestrations were possibly the result of tissue necrosis caused by thermocoagulation after excision of deep endometriotic lesions during the first surgery. Using a CO2 laser for the vaporization of superficial lesions is favorable because of the smaller depth of penetration compared with electrocautery and better access to hard to reach areas 9, 10. Endometriotic lesions involving the entire thickness of the diaphragm should be completely excised and the defect repaired with either sutures or staples 11, 12, 13.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a simplified technique of performing laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy for uterine prolapse.

Design

A technical video demonstrating a simplified method of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (Canadian Task force classification level III).

Setting

The benign gynecology department at a university hospital.

Interventions

A 38-year old woman with grade 3 uterine descent presented requesting surgical management for symptomatic prolapse.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to hysterectomy to treat uterine prolapse in women. We present a novel approach of performing laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy that differs from previously described methods 1, 2; it is shorter, simpler, and reduces possible complications. Key differences include the mesh type, site of attachment, and dissection of the peritoneum while creating the possibility of future vaginal delivery after pregnancy. Our simplified technique uses a polyvinylidene fluoride mesh woven with a square weave secured to the posterior aspect of the cervix under a layer of visceral peritoneum. Because there is no longitudinal give of the mesh, unlike polypropylene meshes with a diamond weave, a wrap method [2] is not required. No dissection of the broad ligament and bladder is needed, eliminating the risk of bladder perforation and anterior mesh erosion with fewer adhesions and simplifying hysterectomy if required in the future. We also uniquely “tunnel” the peritoneum, reducing the size of defect for suture closure, and reperitonize the mesh. Previous methods restrict cervical dilatation and require women to have cesarean sections. The method described in the video allows women to deliver vaginally and, in the event of late miscarriage, avoid the need for hysterotomy. We have performed 25 cases with 1 mild cystocoele recurrence requiring no surgery, 1 reoperation for posterior compartment repair, and 1 case of cervical elongation requiring Manchester repair. No cases of recurrent uterine prolapse have occurred.  相似文献

Study Objective

To illustrate a laparoscopic technique for the resection of cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy, associated with isthmocele repair.

Design

Case report (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

A tertiary referral center in Strasbourg, France.

Background

Cesarean scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. The major risk of this type of pregnancy is the early uterine rupture with massive, sometimes life-threatening, bleeding. Thus, active management of these pregnancies starting immediately after diagnosis is crucial. Therapeutic options can be medical, surgical, or a combination. Numerous case reports or case series can be found in the literature, but there are few clinical studies, which are difficult to conduct because of case rarity and inconclusiveness. A 2016 meta-analysis that included 194 articles published between 1978 and 2014 (126 case reports, 45 cases series, and 23 clinical studies) concluded that hysteroscopy or laparoscopic hysterotomy seems to be the best first-line approach to treating cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy, with uterine artery embolization reserved for significant bleeding and/or a high suspicion index for arteriovenous malformation [1]. There is no consensus on the treatment of reference, however.

Patient

The case involves a 38-year-old primiparous women who underwent a cesarean section delivery in 2010 and who was diagnosed by ultrasound scan at 7 weeks gestation with cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy, which was confirmed by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. The patient initially received medical treatment with 2 intramuscular injections of methotrexate and one local intragestational injection of KCl. Her initial human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level was 82 000 IU/L. Rigorous weekly biological and ultrasound monitoring revealed an involution of the ectopic pregnancy associated with decreasing hCG. No bleeding or infectious complications occurred during this period. After 10 weeks of monitoring, her hCG had stabilized at 300 IU/L, and a residual image persisted next to the cesarean scar, and thus surgical treatment was considered.

Intervention

This video illustrates the laparoscopic resection of a cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy associated with isthmocele repair. The originality of this video lies in the fact that it is the first demonstration of the laparoscopic treatment of total caesarean scar dehiscence.

Measurements and Main Results

The total operative time was 180 minutes. First, hysteroscopic evaluation revealed the cesarean scar dehiscence and the posterior pole of the ectopic pregnancy. Then the diagnosis of cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy was confirmed laparoscopically. The utero-ombilical truncs were clamped bilaterally. Complete enucleation of pregnancy was achieved after dissection of the vesicouterine peritoneum. Isthmocele repair was performed with closure in 2 planes. A blue dye test confirmed the tightness of the stitches. The utero-ombilical truncs were unclamped, and antiadhesion gel was applied to the new uterine scar [1]. The operation was performed successfully without complications. Intraoperative blood loss was <100 mL. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3. No immediate complications were noticed. At 1 month after the intervention, ultrasound was normal.

Conclusion

Surgical management of caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy with total dehiscence of hysterotomy can be performed safely and efficiently under laparoscopy.  相似文献

Study Objective

To describe our surgical approach in a rare case of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the obturator internus muscle with obturator nerve involvement.

Design

A step-by-step surgical explanation using video and literature review (Canadian Task Force Classification III).

Setting

Endometriosis can be pelvic or rarely extrapelvic and is classically defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity 1, 2. Pain along the sensitive area of the obturator nerve, thigh adduction weakness and difficulty in ambulation are extremely rare presenting symptoms 2, 3, 4.

Patient

We report a case of a 32-year-old patient who presented with cyclic leg pain in the inner right thigh radiating to the knee caused by a cystic endometriotic mass in the obturator internus muscle with nerve retraction. The patient provided informed consent to use the surgical video. Institutional review board approval was obtained.

Interventions

Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging was performed and confirmed a nodular lesion of about 2.3?cm with high signal on T1WI and T2WI and without fat suppression on T2FS inside the right obturator internus muscle, suggesting an endometriotic lesion (Fig. 1). Surgical removal of the mass was performed using the laparoscopic approach. A normal pelvic cavity was found, and the retroperitoneal space was dissected. A mass located within the right obturator internus muscle, below the right iliac external vein, behind the corona mortis vein, and lateral to the right obturator nerve was identified. The whole region was inflamed, and the nerve was partially involved. Dissection was performed carefully with rupture of the tumor, releasing a chocolatelike fluid (Fig. 2), and the cyst was removed. Pathology examination was consistent with endometriosis. Patient improvement was observed, with pain relief and improved ability for right limb mobilization. No recurrence of endometriosis was found at the follow-up visit 6 months later.

Measurements and Main Results

The obturator nerve is responsible for motor and sensitive innervation of the joins and internal muscles of thigh and knee as well as the innervation of skin in the internal thigh. Pain along the sensitive area of the obturator nerve at the time of menstruation, thigh adduction weakness, difficulty ambulating, or paresthesia can be presenting symptoms with the involvement of the obturator nerve [5]. Besides paresthesia, our patient presented all the symptoms. The suspected diagnosis of obturator internus muscle endometriosis with retraction of the obturator nerve was confirmed by laparoscopic surgery and pathological examination of the excised tissue. To our knowledge, only 4 cases of endometriosis involving the obturator nerve have been described (according to MEDLINE searched in January 2017) 5, 6, 7, 8. The laparoscopic approach provided an excellent access to the retroperitoneal space, allowing fine dissection of the obturator nerve and the surrounding structures with complete removal of the cystic mass.

Conclusion

We report a rare case of endometriosis with a single mass located inside the right obturator internus muscle with neuronal involvement of the obturator nerve. The fundamental role of laparoscopy was clearly demonstrated for the diagnosis and treatment of our patient.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a mesh-free approach for uterine prolapse during a hysterectomy.

Design

Technical video (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

Benign gynecology department at a university hospital.

Patient

A 50-year-old woman.

Intervention

Laparoscopic high uterosacral ligament suspension technique.

Measurements and Main Results

A 50-year-old woman presented with irregular vaginal bleeding and grade 3 uterine prolapse. The patient was concerned regarding the use of mesh and erosion. After counseling the patient agreed to a mesh-free single procedure. The use of mesh for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse has become the subject of controversy and litigation. Complications of mesh erosion have resulted in the US Food and Drug Administration reclassifying transvaginal meshes as high-risk devices in 2016 [1]. Mesh erosion risk is up to 23% with hysterectomy and concomitant laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy [2] and 3% with sacrohysteropexy [3]. We present an alternative laparoscopic approach of treating uterine prolapse with high uterosacral suspension during laparoscopic hysterectomy. Our method avoids the use of mesh, sacrocervicopexy and morcellation, or an interval sacrocolpopexy. Although high uterosacral ligament suspension can be performed vaginally, it carries up to an 11% risk of ureteric injury [4].

Conclusion

In this video a bilateral ureterolysis is performed, before hysterectomy, isolating the uterosacral ligaments. These are then suspended to the vaginal vault in a purse-string fashion using Vicryl 0 (polyglactin 910) and intracorporeal knot-tying. Postprocedure the vault is well supported with a vaginal length of 12?cm.  相似文献

Study Objective

To describe a technique for hysteroscopic removal of retained products of conception (RPOC) implanted over an area of adenomyosis.

Design

A case report (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

RPOC is an unfortunate complication that may occur after the resolution of a normal pregnancy; it is more common after early pregnancy termination or spontaneous miscarriage [1]. Immediate consequences of RPOC include persistent vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, pelvic infection, fever, and dilated cervix. Moreover, known long-term complications include the formation of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) with the potential creation of Asherman syndrome resulting in adverse reproductive outcomes caused by subfertility, chronic pelvic pain, menstrual disturbances, and severe pregnancy complications such as abnormal placentation including the placenta accreta spectrum 2, 3. A recently published American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists practice report on IUAs suggests that the surgical approach used to treat intrauterine pathology could have an impact with greater risk for IUA formation when blind versus procedures under direct visualization are performed [4].

Interventions

A 35-year-old patient who presented with persistent bleeding for over 5 weeks. The patient has a long history of dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of adenomyosis. She had an unfortunate spontaneous abortion at 8 weeks of gestation. On physical examination, she was found to have a dilated uterine cervix with persistent vaginal bleeding; there were no signs of infection. Pelvic ultrasound revealed an intrauterine hyperechogenic vascularized area of 2?×?2, 8?×?2?cm implanted over a focal area of adenomyosis, which is consistent with the presence of RPOC. With the aim of minimizing possible acute complications such as bleeding, infection, and uterine perforation, a hysteroscopic approach was taken to avoid performing a blind dilation and curettage. A secondary benefit of a hysteroscopic approach is a lower incidence of long-term complications such as IUAs and the consequent Asherman syndrome. We describe a hysteroscopic technique in which the use of electrosurgery is limited to minimize thermal damage of the endometrium, highlighting important tips and tricks of the procedure.

Conclusion

Hysteroscopic removal of RPOC is a feasible and safe management option of this complication of pregnancy. We strongly suggest avoiding performing blind procedures such as dilation and curettage and favor the adoption of this modality that allows the removal of retained products of conception under direct visualization.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a technique of laparoscopic management of a rudimentary horn in a 12-year-old girl.

Design

A step-by-step explanation of the surgery using a video (instructive video) approved by the local institutional review board.

Setting

A university hospital (University Hospital of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France).

Patient

A 12-year-old girl with a uterine rudimentary horn.

Intervention

We describe a case of a 12-year-old girl who had no medical history. She had her first menstruation at 11 years old with major left pelvic pain occurring each month. Ultrasonography showed a duplication of the uterus with a liquid collection on the left side; this type of malformation is called an accessory and cavitated uterine mass. Medical treatment was initiated with progestin. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a left noncommunicating rudimentary horn with a unicornuate uterus. No other malformation was present, particularly in the kidneys. A primary vaginal endoscopy was performed showing a single cervix without vaginal malformation. It was decided to perform a laparoscopic excision of the left rudimentary horn. We placed a 10-mm optical port into the umbilicus and 3 accessory 5-mm trocars. Evaluation of the abdominal cavity showed 2 normal adnexas with normal ovaries. We decided to start with a left salpingectomy using the Ligasure device (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN), staying close to the tube to preserve ovarian vascularization. The remnant fimbria must be removed to avoid cancerization. Then, the vesicouterine septum was divided until we reached the cervix to dissect the bladder from the rudimentary horn. The broad ligament was fenestrated in order to push the left ureter laterally .The utero-ovarian pedicle was transected with the Ligasure device; the left ovary was preserved and vascularized by the left infundibulopelvic ligament. We then dissected the left uterine artery. The posterior peritoneum was opened. The resection of the rudimentary horn was performed by means of a monopolar hook. The dissection was performed slowly with selective coagulation until we reached the cavity of the horn, with old blood flowing out. The entire cavity was removed, and we confirmed the absence of communication with the other part of the uterus. Uterine reconstruction was performed with inverted separated stiches of a 2-0 braided suture, and, finally, an antiadhesion barrier was placed.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic management of a uterine rudimentary horn is feasible with satisfactory uterine reconstruction. This is not the first case of this surgery performed by laparoscopy. A similar case has been published in 2015 [1], and recently another video [2] has been published describing 2 other cases.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a minimal invasive surgical (MIS) technique for curative excision of extensive secondary disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL).

Design

The Institutional Review Board of Human Investigation and Ethics Committee of Chang Gung Medical Foundation ruled that approval was not required for this study.

Patient

Woman aged 46 years.

Interventions, Measurements, and Main Results

In MIS the myoma has to be divided into small fragments for piecemeal retrieval through a small incision [1] with a widely used technique called morcellation (confined or unconfined) [2]. DPL is a rare sequellae after laparoscopic morcellation. Because this entity is rarely reported, this video demonstrates laparoscopic technique for safe removal of DPL post laparoscopic myomectomy and morcellation. A 46-year-old woman with a past history of laparoscopic myomectomy with specimen retrieval by a power morcellation 8 years ago presented with abdominal discomfort. Computed tomography revealed multiple iso-dense lesions in the uterine corpus and pelvic cavity. Upon laparoscopy multiple nodules were identified at the previous myomectomy scar, pelvic peritoneum, ovarian surface, and over the small bowel. A total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy along with excision of all visible lesions was performed.

Conclusions

In this video we demonstrate a safe retroperitoneal approach for complete excision of DPL. Laparoscopic hysterectomy or myomectomy with unconfined morcellation appears to be associated with the risk of DPL [3]. Complete tissue fragment retrieval will minimize the sequelae of morcellation. Hence, myoma remnants should be carefully extracted and confined morcellation should be considered. Because DPL causes significant distortion of pelvic anatomy, thorough knowledge of pelvic surgical anatomy and retroperitoneal approach for complete excision of all lesions is recommended.  相似文献

Study Objective

To describe a multidisciplinary approach for the resection of deeply infiltrative endometriosis using the robotic platform.

Design

A technical video showing a step-by-step approach for the resection of deeply infiltrative endometriosis (Canadian Task Force classification level III). Institutional review board approval was not required for this study.

Setting

There is considerable involvement of the bowel and bladder with deeply infiltrative endometriosis 1, 2, 3. The need for operative procedures involving multiple organs while performing a complete resection is common. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery for a gynecologic pathology have been documented in numerous studies. Patients had fewer medical and surgical complications postoperatively, better cosmesis, and better quality of life 4, 5, 6. We believe that deeply infiltrative endometriosis does not preclude patients from having a minimally invasive resection procedure. In this video, we describe how the robotic platform was used for a seamless transition between surgical specialties including gynecology, colorectal, and urology to ensure complete resection of endometriosis lesions involving multiple organs.

Patient

A 47-year-old woman with a 4-year history of severe pelvic pain, dysuria, dyspareunia, dyschezia, and dysmenorrhea failing multiple medical therapies presented to our clinic to discuss surgical options. After thorough counseling, the decision was made to proceed with definitive surgical management. Postoperatively, the patient was admitted for 2 days of postoperative inpatient care. After meeting all immediate postoperative milestones, she was discharged with an indwelling Foley catheter and instructed to follow up in the clinic with all 3 surgical specialties. At the 1-week interval, she was seen by the urology team; her indwelling catheter was removed after a cystoscopy was performed documenting adequate healing. Two weeks postoperatively, the patient was seen by the gynecology and colorectal teams and was noted to be healing adequately from the procedure. Her six-week visit was also unremarkable. She continued to follow up with the gynecology team for her yearly well-woman examinations and has been symptom free for 2 years after the surgery. She takes norethindrone daily to minimize recurrence.

Interventions

Preoperative pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed bladder endometriosis and extensive rectovaginal endometriosis. We describe the multidisciplinary approach used for surgery and the procedures performed by each specialty. The urology team performed a cystoscopy preoperatively to assess for full-thickness erosions and the location of those lesions in that event. The urology team also reviewed the magnetic resonance images with the radiology team, and the endometriosis lesions were suspected to be close to the bladder trigone, keeping in mind that this finding could be overestimated given that the bladder was deflated at the time the imaging was obtained. Accordingly, at the time of surgery, the decision was made to proceed with cystoscopy and the placement of ureteral stents as a prophylactic measure. An intentional cystotomy and resection of the bladder section involved with endometriosis were performed followed by watertight closure. The trigone area of the bladder was not involved, and ureteral reimplantation was not needed in this case. The gynecology team operated second and performed an extensive dissection of the retroperitoneal space with the development of the pararectal and paravesical spaces. They also ligated the uterine artery at its origin followed by dissection of the uterovesical space, effectively reflecting the bladder off of the lower uterine segment. At this point, they proceeded with a total hysterectomy, and the specimen was removed from the pelvis through the vaginal cuff. Preoperatively, the colorectal surgeon ordered a colonoscopy to determine if full-thickness erosions were present and reviewed the magnetic resonance images with the radiology team. Based on the MRI and colonoscopy, all patients are counseled and consented for the possibility of a low anterior resection and loop ileostomy to protect the anastomosis. Based on the understanding that colorectal and gynecologic surgeries have a different approach when dissecting the pararectal space at our institution, a discussion between the 2 teams is initiated at the multidisciplinary session for surgery planning. In the case we present, the colorectal surgeon opted for the removal of the uterus before his dissection was initiated given that he dissects this space presacrally and not retroperitoneally like the gynecology counterpart. He would also benefit from the extra space for dissection with the uterus out of the pelvis. The colorectal part of the case was initiated by mobilization of the rectum and dissecting the obliterated rectovaginal space. The presacral space was then opened followed by mobilization of the rectosigmoid from its attachment. The case was concluded with full transection and reanastomosis of the rectum section involved with endometriosis. The specimen was also removed from the pelvis through the vaginal cuff.

Measurements and Main Results

Complete resection of deeply infiltrative endometriosis spanning beyond the scope of 1 surgical specialty. No immediate intraoperative, perioperative, or long-term complications from surgery. Complete resolution of endometriosis symptoms.

Conclusion

We encourage collaborative care for planning and performing comprehensive and safe resection of deeply infiltrative endometriosis.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate a technique of performing laparoscopic resection of a post–cesarean section scar uterine cyst.

Design

Technical video (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

University Hospital.

Patient

A 38-year old woman.

Intervention

Laparoscopic excision of a uterine cyst within a cesarean section scar.

Measurements and Main Results

A 38-year-old woman presented with secondary subfertility requesting removal of a cesarean section scar defect to prepare the uterine cavity for in vitro fertilization. Preoperative ultrasound demonstrated a 17.7?×?12.2?mm scar defect. At rigid hysteroscopy the anterior uterine wall cyst was observed and noted to be narrowing the uterine cavity. A laparoscopic approach was used to excise the uterine cyst. We carefully mobilized the bladder from its adhesions at the site of the previous cesarean section scar. The uterine cyst was located and margins of the defect identified. An ultrasonic-energy device was used to enucleate and excise the cyst. A uterine manipulator helped to identify the cervical canal and protect the posterior wall from inadvertent suture placement. The defect was closed with 1 vicryl interrupted sutures, being careful to incorporate the full thickness of the uterine wall to an able maximal opposition. An adhesion barrier was applied to the area. Transvaginal ultrasound scanning performed 6 weeks postoperatively demonstrated full healing with no residual defect.

Conclusion

Niches are recognized complications of cesarean sections resulting from incomplete healing of the scar and more likely in single-layer closures [1]. They can be associated with postmenstrual spotting, dysmenorrhea, chronic pain, subfertility, and poorer reproductive and obstetric outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Laparoscopic resection of niches is well established, showing symptomatic relief and an increase in residual myometrium [6]. Although cesarean section scar defects have been described as niches, we presented a further variety of defect that has not been previously described, a uterine cyst.  相似文献

Study Objective

To demonstrate laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy for a case of uterine prolapse in a 12 weeks, 3 days pregnant woman. To our knowledge this is the first case of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy performed at 12 weeks of gestation to be reported in literature.

Design

A step-by-step explanation of the surgical procedure (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting

Maltepe University Hospital.

Patient

A 37-year-old pregnant woman.

Intervention

Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy. Institutional Review Board ruled that approval was not required for this study.

Measurements and Main Results

Uterine prolapse is very rare condition, manifesting in an estimated 10 000 to 15 000 pregnancies [1]. The management plan must be individualized, and the obstetrician should aware of possible complications, such as preterm labor, high incidence of abortion, cervical ulceration, and cervical dystocia. In general, bedrest, good genital hygiene, and pessary use is recommended. Alternatively, in cases where conservative solutions have failed, laparoscopic surgery in the pregnant patient may be considered. To date, only 1 case of laparoscopic promontohysteropexy at 10th weeks of gestation was reported by Pirtea et al [2]. A 37-year-old woman, at 12 weeks and 3 days of gestation, with stage III pelvic organ prolapse was referred to our clinic. Conservative management with pessary failed. The patient underwent laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy after written informed consent form was obtained. In exploration, uterine manipulation was difficult because of softness and large size of the uterus. First, the sigmoid colon was suspended at the abdominal wall to gain an adequate surgical field. The promontorium was dissected and the parietal peritoneum incised on the right pelvic side wall after ureter visualization. A polypropylene mesh was fixed to the cervix at the level of the uterosacral ligaments. The other edge of the mesh was fixed at the level of the promontory using the Uplift device (Neomedic International, Barcelona, Spain). Then, the peritoneum was sutured to cover the mesh. The patient was discharged 2 days after surgery. At the examination the pelvic floor was detected to be normal. The patient delivered a healthy baby weighing 3030?g by cesarean section at 38 weeks of gestation. The position of the mesh was controlled during surgery. There was no peritoneal fold detected on the cervical part of mesh; however, no adhesion was observed.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy may be an alternative and safe approach, if conservative treatment fails, for pelvic organ prolapse during pregnancy.  相似文献

Study Objective

To present and discuss the hysteroscopic aspects of incarcerated omentum through uterine perforation caused by previous dilation and curettage (D&C) for an incomplete first-trimester abortion.

Design

A case report.

Setting

Constantine University Hospital, Constantine, Algeria.

Patient

A 40-year-old, gravida 3, para 2 patient, with a history of an incomplete first-trimester spontaneous abortion treated 6 months before by D&C requiring medical assistance because of moderate, chronic pelvic pain. No other clinical or biological alteration was found. The ultrasound showed intracavitary hyperechogenic formation infiltrating the myometrium posteriorly.

Interventions

Hysteroscopy revealed a fatlike lesion arousing suspicion of a residual trophoblast; the differential diagnosis included intramyometrial fat metaplasia as well [1]. A mechanical cold loop resection was initiated. Instrumental manipulation of the mass released yellow drops, probably of lipid nature, subsequently leading to the discovery of a uterine perforation giving passage to the omentum. Histologic examination confirmed fat tissue. There was immediate resolution of symptoms. Laparoscopic repair was subsequently performed and consisted of suturing the defect. There were no further complications.

Measurements and Main Results

Few cases of omentum incarceration in a perforated uterus diagnosed during laparotomy or by magnetic resonance imaging have previously been reported 2, 3, 4. To our knowledge, this is the first case revealed through hysteroscopy.

Conclusion

In women with a history of intracavitary interventions such as D&C, omentum incarceration should be considered when hysteroscopy demonstrates a fatlike formation and yellow droplets released by pressing or mobilizing the formation. Surgeons should be cautious, never using electrosurgery on formations whose origin arouses suspicion.  相似文献
