ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: Evaluar la eficacia del retiro quirúrgico del Essure como medida para aliviar el dolor pélvico ocasionado, presuntamente, por este dispositivo. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de una serie de casos. Se revisaron las historias clínicas de las pacientes atendidas entre el 1 de enero de 2016 y el 15 de agosto de 2018 en el Complexo Hospitalario Universitario de Ourense para la extracción quirúrgica del dispositivo Essure. Parámetros de estudio: datos demográficos, historial médico, información de la inserción, características del dolor, tipo de intervención, hallazgos durante la intervención y posoperatorios. Los datos se analizaron con el programa SPSS, versión 24 para Windows. RESULTADOS: Se intervinieron 11 pacientes y 7 de ellas tuvieron dolor abdominal después de la colocación del dispositivo, con una tardanza media de aparición de 3.75 años. La técnica quirúrgica más practicada fue la salpingectomía bilateral (7 de 11 pacientes). 7 de las 11 pacientes continuaron con dolor luego de la extracción del dispositivo; de ellas, 2 tenían diagnóstico previo de dolor crónico y 3 antecedente de cirugía abdominal. CONCLUSIONES: En esta muestra de pacientes a quienes se extrajo el Essure, el retiro no resultó eficaz para aliviar el dolor en casi dos tercios de ellas. Esto pone de relieve que la extracción no garantiza la eliminación del dolor. Las investigaciones futuras deberán dirimir porqué en algunos casos la cirugía de extracción no resulta efectiva.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of the surgical removal of Essure in the elimination of pelvic pain caused, presumably, by this device. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive study of case series was conducted retrospectively. A review was performed of the medical histories of all the patients (11 in total) who underwent surgical removal of Essure devices at the University Hospital of Ourense (Spain) in the period between 1 January 2016 and 15 August 2018. The following items were collected: demographic data, medical history, data related to the insertion, characteristics of the pain, type of intervention, findings during the intervention and postoperative findings. The total number of patients intervened during that period was 11. The data was analyzed with the statistical software SPSS version 24 for Windows. RESULTS: Eleven patients were operated and 7 of them had abdominal pain after placement of the device, with an average delay of appearance of 3.75 years. The most practiced surgical technique was bilateral salpingectomy (7 of 11 patients). 7 of the 11 patients continued with pain after removal of the device; of them, 2 had previous diagnosis of chronic pain and 3 antecedents of abdominal surgery. CONCLUSIONS: It is evident that surgical removal of the Essure insert was not effective in almost two-thirds of the patients under study, which highlights that its removal does not guarantee the elimination of pain. Future research should determine why in some cases surgical removal is not effective.
