ABSTRACT

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate agreement between pre- and post-laparoscopy gynecological diagnosis in order to demonstrate the rationality of this minimally invasive technique use in gynecological propaedeutics. Methods: Retrospective chart review study conducted between March 2010 and October 2016 based on a convenience sample. 315 patients undergoing surgical laparoscopy at the Center of Gynecologic Endoscopy and Family Planning of Botucatu Medical School/UNESP. Pre- and postoperative diagnoses were compared by the diagnosis agreement test considering the proportions of events. Results: Laparoscopy contributed to diagnosis in 59.6% of infertility cases (P>0.05), in 93.7% of chronic pelvic pain of undetermined origin (P<0.01) and conclusively elucidated the diagnosis of acute abdomen and the ruling out of tubo-ovarian abcess (P<0.05). Laparoscopy also increased the diagnosis of pelvic-abdominal adhesions in 76.7% (P>0.05). Conclusion: The use of laparoscopy considerably contributed to diagnostic elucidation, especially in cases of undetermined chronic pelvic pain.

ABSTRACT

Summary Due to widespread use of pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound in routine gynecological evaluation, the incidental finding of adnexal masses has led to discussions about management in asymptomatic patients regarding the risk of ovarian cancer. Transvaginal ultrasonography remains the modality of choice in the evaluation of suspicious characteristics. The combined analysis of ultrasound morphological parameters with Doppler study, serum carcinona antigen 125 and investigation of a symptom index may improve diagnosis. Surgical approach should be considered whenever there are suspicious images, rapid growth of cysts, changes in the appearance compared to the initial evaluation or when the patient has symptoms. Future studies on genetic and molecular mechanisms may help explain the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer, improving early diagnosis and treatment.


Resumo Em virtude da ampla utilização da ultrassonografia pélvica e transvaginal na avaliação ginecológica de rotina, o achado incidental de massas anexiais tem ocasionado discussões sobre a conduta em pacientes assintomáticas frente ao risco de desenvolvimento do câncer de ovário. A ultrassonografia transvaginal continua a ser a modalidade de primeira escolha na avaliação de características suspeitas. A análise conjunta de parâmetros morfológicos ultrassonográficos com o estudo Doppler, a pesquisa de CA-125 e a investigação de índice de sintomas pode incrementar as taxas de diagnóstico. Abordagem cirúrgica deve ser considerada sempre que houver alterações em exames de imagem, quando houver crescimento rápido do cisto, mudanças em seu aspecto em relação à avaliação inicial ou quando a paciente apresentar sintomatologia. Uma compreensão melhor de mecanismos genéticos e moleculares pode auxiliar na elucidação da fisiopatologia do câncer ovariano, aprimorando seu diagnóstico e tratamento precoces.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Tubal ligation is one of the most commonly used contraceptive methods worldwide. Since the controversy over the potential effects of tubal sterilization still continues, this study aimed to evaluate the clinical and psychological repercussions of videolaparoscopic tubal ligation. DESIGN AND SETTING: Observational, single cohort, retrospective study, conducted in a tertiary public hospital. METHODS: A questionnaire was applied to 130 women aged 21-46 years who underwent videolaparoscopic tubal ligation by means of tubal ring insertion or bipolar electrocoagulation and sectioning, between January 1999 and December 2007. Menstrual cycle interval, intensity and duration of bleeding, premenstrual symptoms, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, noncyclic pelvic pain and degree of sexual satisfaction were assessed in this questionnaire. Each woman served as her own control, and comparisons were made between before and after the surgical procedure and between the two techniques used. RESULTS: The clinical and psychological repercussions were significant, with increases in bleeding (P = 0.001), premenstrual symptoms (P < 0.001), dysmenorrhea (P = 0.019) and noncyclic pelvic pain (P = 0.001); and reductions in the number of sexual intercourse occurrences per week (P = 0.001) and in libido (P = 0.001). Women aged ≤ 35 years at the time of sterilization were more likely to develop menstrual abnormalities. The bipolar electrocoagulation method showed greater clinical and psychological repercussions. CONCLUSION: Regardless of the technique used, videolaparoscopic tubal ligation had repercussions consisting of increased menstrual flow and premenstrual symptoms, especially in women aged ≤ 35 years, and also had a negative influence on sexual activity. .


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A ligadura tubária é um dos métodos contraceptivos mais utilizados em todo o mundo. Como a controvérsia sobre seus possíveis efeitos ainda continua, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as repercussões clínicas e psíquicas da laqueadura videolaparoscópica. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo observacional de coorte único, retrospectivo, conduzido em hospital público terciário. MÉTODOS: Foi aplicado um questionário a 130 mulheres, entre 21-46 anos, submetidas à ligadura tubária videolaparoscópica, pelas técnicas de eletrocoagulação bipolar/secção ou inserção do anel tubário, entre janeiro de 1999 e dezembro de 2007. Nesse questionário avaliou-se: intervalo do ciclo menstrual, intensidade e duração do sangramento, sintomas pré-menstruais, dismenorreia, dispareunia, dor pélvica não cíclica e grau de satisfação sexual. Cada mulher serviu como seu próprio controle, foi realizada análise comparativa entre os períodos pré- e pós-cirúrgico e entre as duas técnicas utilizadas. RESULTADOS: As repercussões clínicas e psicológicas mostraram-se significativas, com aumento de sangramento (P = 0,001), de sintomas pré-menstruais (P < 0,001), dismenorreia (P = 0,019), dor pélvica não cíclica (P = 0,001), e redução no número de relações sexuais por semana (P = 0,001) e na libido (P = 0,001). Mulheres com idade ≤ 35 anos, no momento da laqueadura, mostraram-se mais propensas a desenvolverem alterações menstruais. A técnica de eletrocoagulação bipolar mostrou maiores repercussões clínicas e psíquicas. CONCLUSÃO: A ligadura tubária videolaparoscópica, independentemente da técnica, repercutiu com ...

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar os fatores clínicos preditivos para o desenvolvimento dos pólipos endometriais em mulheres na pós-menopausa. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte observacional com mulheres na pós-menopausa, que haviam sido atendidas em hospital público universitário. Dados clínicos, antropométricos, laboratoriais e ultrassonográficos de 132 pacientes com diagnóstico anatomopatológico de pólipo endometrial e de 264 mulheres sem alterações endometriais (controle) foram comparados para avaliar os fatores preditivos do pólipo endometrial. Foram incluídas no estudo mulheres com amenorreia ≥12 meses e idade ≥45 anos, em uma proporção de 1 caso para 2 controles. Para a análise estatística, foram empregados os testes t de Student, χ2 e regressão logística — odds ratio (OR). RESULTADOS: As pacientes com pólipo endometrial apresentaram idade mais avançada e maior tempo de menopausa quando comparadas ao controle (p<0,0001). A porcentagem de mulheres obesas com pólipo (72,0%) foi superior à do Grupo Controle (39%; p<0,0001). A medida da circunferência da cintura foi superior entre as pacientes com pólipo (p=0,0001). Observou-se uma incidência de diabetes, hipertensão e dislipidemias mais elevada nas pacientes com pólipo endometrial (p<0,0001). De acordo com os critérios do US National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATP III), 48,5% das mulheres com pólipo e 33,3% do Grupo Controle foram classificadas como portadoras de síndrome metabólica (p=0,004). Em relação ao Grupo Controle, apresentaram maior chance de desenvolvimento de pólipo endometrial as pacientes com: IMC≥25 kg/m2 (OR=4,6; IC95% 2,1–10,0); glicose ≥100 mg/dL (OR=2,8; IC95% 1,3–5,9); dislipidemia (OR=7,0; IC95% 3,7–13,3); ...


PURPOSE: To evaluate the predictive clinical factors for the development of endometrial polyps in postmenopausal women. METHODS: Observational cohort study with postmenopausal women who had been at a public university hospital. Clinical, anthropometrical, laboratorial, and ultrasonographic data of 132 patients with a histopathological diagnosis of endometrial polyps and 264 women without endometrial alterations (control) were compared in order to evaluate the predictive factors of endometrial polyps. Women with amenorrhea ≥12 months and ≥45 years of age were included in the study at a proportion of 1 case for 2 controls. The Student's t, χ2, and logistic regression tests were used for statistical analysis – odds ratio (OR). RESULTS: Patients with endometrial polyps were older and had been in menopause for a longer time compared to control (p<0.0001). The percentage of obese women with polyps (72.0%) was higher compared to the Control Group (39%; p<0.0001). The measurement of waist circumference was superior among patients with polyps (p=0.0001). We observed a higher incidence of diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia in patients with endometrial polyps (p<0.0001). According to the US National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATP III) criteria, 48.5% of women with polyps and 33.3% of the Control Group were classified as having metabolic syndrome (p=0.004). Analysis of risk for endometrial polyps formation showed higher chances of occurrence of the disorder in patients with: BMI≥25 kg/m2 (OR=4.6; 95%CI 2.1–10.0); glucose ≥100 mg/dL (OR=2.8; 95%CI 1.3–5.9); dyslipidemia (OR=7.0; 95%CI 3.7–13.3); diabetes (OR=2.5; 95%CI 1.0–6.3), and metabolic syndrome (OR=2.7; 95%CI 1.1–6.4) compared to the Control Group. CONCLUSION: In postmenopausal women, obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and presence of metabolic syndrome were predictive ...

ABSTRACT

Pólipos endometriais são neoformações resultantes de uma hiperplasia focal da camada basal do endométrio associada a um hiperestímulo hormonal. Sua etiologia ainda não está bem estabelecida, não havendo consenso sobre sua história natural, seu real significado como entidade patológica e sua relação com a neoplasia endometrial. Os pólipos endometriais são a principal indicação de histeroscopia cirúrgica, sem que haja, no entanto, um protocolo definido para seu melhor manejo. Uma visão abrangente sobre essa condição pode auxiliar na escolha da conduta mais adequada. (AU)


Endometrial polyps are neoformations that result from focal hyperplasia of the endometrial basal layer associated with hormonal hyperstimulation. Their pathogenesis is still unclear, and there is no consensus on their natural history, actual relevance as pathologic entities, and relationship with endometrial neoplasia. Endometrial polyps are the most frequent indication of surgical hysteroscopy, but their optimal management remains controversial. Therefore, an overview of this condition may help choosing the most adequate treatment strategies.(AU)
