ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) combined with suction curettage for mass-type cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and to analyze the influencing factors of vaginal bleeding and readmission.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2020, 88 patients with mass-type CSP were treated by FUAS combined with suction curettage in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The clinical results and the influencing factors of bleeding and readmission for mass-type CSP were analyzed.Results:All the patients underwent one time FUAS treatment successfully. Immediately after FUAS treatment, color Doppler ultrasound showed obvious necrosis and no perfusion area in all lesions, and the blood flow in the mass-type CSP tissue significantly decreased. The median volume of blood loss in the procedure was 20 ml (range: 5-950 ml). Thirteen patients (15%, 13/88) had vaginal bleeding≥200 ml, and 15 patients (17%, 15/88) were hospitalized again. The average time for menstruation recovery was (28±8) days (range: 18-66 days). The average time needed for serum human chorionic gonadotropin-beta subunit to return to normal levels was (22±6) days (range: 7-59 days). The risk of large vaginal bleeding of patients were related to the blood supply of the mass ( OR=5.280, 95% CI: 1.335-20.858, P=0.018) and the largest diameter of the mass ( OR=1.060, 95% CI: 1.010-1.120, P=0.030). The risk of readmission were related to the largest diameter of the mass ( OR=1.055, 95% CI: 1.005-1.108, P=0.030) and the depth of the uterus cavity ( OR=1.583, 95% CI: 1.015-2.471, P=0.043). No serious complications such as intestinal and nerve injury occurred during and after FUAS treatment. Conclusions:FUAS combined with suction curettage is safe and effective in treating patients with mass-type CSP through this preliminary study. The volume of vaginal bleeding are associated with the blood supply of the mass and the largest diameter of the mass, the risk of readmission are related to the largest diameter of the mass and the depth of the uterus cavity.
ABSTRACT
Objetivos: evaluar el efecto de dexmedetomidina sublingual frente a dexmedetomidina vía nasal más remifentanilo -propofol con bomba de infusión en procedimientos ginecológicos. Métodos: ensayo clínico no controlado, doble ciego, prospectivo. 68 pacientes con criterios de inclusión dividas en 3 grupos, grupo A [dexmedetomidina sublingual a 0.75 ug/kg], grupo B [dexmedetomidina vía nasal a 0,9 gg/kg] y grupo C [control] más adición de remifentanil y propofol por bombas de infusión. Análisis estadístico de variables cualitativas con chi cuadrado, variables cuantitativas de distribución libre se usó Kruskal-Wallis y distribución normal Anova. Nivel de confianza del 95 % y margen de error del 9 %. Resultados: edad con un rango de 30 a 32 años, la dosis de inicio y sostén tanto del remifentanilo y propofol se disminuyó hasta la mitad comparada con el grupo control, a predominio en el grupo A. Con poca variabilidad en los parámetros hemodinámicos sin repercusión clínica. Efectos adversos más frecuentes como depresión respiratoria en el grupo control, no se observó analgesia con el uso de dexmedetomidina. Y con menor tiempo de estancia en salas de recuperación en pacientes que se administró dexmedetomidina vía nasal. Conclusiones: la administración sublingual es superior con la nasal debido al menor requerimiento de propofol, menos cambios en la presión sanguínea media, sin efectos adversos que se puedan manejar, con mayor facilidad en su administración. Aunque la administración nasal produce un despertar más rápido y mejor control de la frecuencia cardiaca.
Objectives: to evaluate the effect of sublingual dexmedetomidine versus nasal dexmedetomidine plus remifentanil-propofol infusion pump in gynecological procedures. Methods: Uncontrolled, double-blind, prospective clinical trial. 68 patients with inclusion criteria were divided into 3 groups, group A [sublingual dexmedetomidine at 0.75 ug/kg], group B [nasal dexmedetomidine at 0.9 ug/kg] and group C [control] plus the addition of remifentanil and propofol by infusion pumps. Statistical analysis of qualitative variables with chi- square, quantitative variables with free distribution used Kruskal-Wallis and normal distribution Anova. Confidence level of 95% and margin of error of 9%. Results: age with a range of 30 to 32 years, the starting and maintenance dose of both remifentanil and propofol was halved compared to the control group, mainly in group A. With little variability in hemodynamic parameters without clinical repercussion. The most frequent adverse effects were respiratory depression in the control group, no analgesia was observed with the use of dexmedetomidine. And with a shorter stay in recovery rooms in patients who received nasal dexmedetomidine. Conclusions: sublingual administration is superior to nasal due to the lower requirement of propofol, less changes in mean blood pressure, with no adverse effects that can be managed, and with greater ease of administration. Although nasal administration produces a faster awakening and better control of heart rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of transabdominal ultrasound-guided suction curettage to treat cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and investigate factors affecting prognosis of CSP. Methods This was a retrospective case study of 43 cases who were diagnosed as CSP and treated by suction curettage under transabdominal ultrasound guidance as an initial treatment of CSP in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University over past 7 years (from 2007 to 2013);factors affecting prognosis of CSP were investigated. Results 39 of the 43 cases (91%) were successfully treated. There were no statistically significant differences in maternal age, gravidity, abortion frequency, and the time interval between current CSP and last cesarean delivery, the myometrium thickness between the gestational sac and the bladder wall between the success group and the failure group (all P>0.05). Statistically significant difference was found in crown-rump length (CRL) between the two group (median of the two group was 18.5, 2.0 mm) by rank sum test (P=0.047). Univariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that CRL was strongly associated with the prognosis and the OR for no complications was 18.50, comparing CRL≤6 mm versus CRL>6 mm (P=0.020). Conclusion Transabdominal ultrasound-guided suction curettage is effective and safe in the treatment of CSP with CRL≤6 mm.
ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Analisar a eficácia e a ocorrência de complicações, além do tempo de permanência hospitalar e as perdas sanguíneas. MÉTODOS: Trinta pacientes foram selecionadas, alternada e consecutivamente, em um dos grupos (15 no Grupo Curetagem e 15 no Grupo de Aspiração manual intrauterina). As variáveis analisadas foram: eficácia do método, ocorrência de complicações, tempo pré-procedimento, tempo de execução do procedimento, tempo pós-procedimento e tempo total de permanência hospitalar, além de hematócrito e hemoglobina, medidas antes e após o procedimento. As pacientes foram avaliadas clinicamente 10 a 14 dias após o procedimento. Para a análise estatística, foram aplicados testes paramétricos e não-paramétricos e o nível de significância admitido foi de p>0,05. RESULTADOS: Ambos os métodos foram eficazes e não foi registrada nenhuma complicação. As perdas sanguíneas foram semelhantes e o tempo de permanência hospitalar foi significativamente menor no Grupo de Aspiração Manual Intrauterina (p=0,03). CONCLUSÃO: a aspiração manual intrauterina é tão eficaz e segura quanto à curetagem uterina, com a vantagem de necessitar menor tempo de permanência hospitalar, o que aumenta a resolutividade do método, melhorando a qualidade da assistência a essas pacientes.
PURPOSE: To analyze the effectiveness and occurrence of complications, in addition to hospitalization time and blood losses. METHODS: Thirty patients were assigned alternatively and consecutively to one of two groups (15 to the Curettage Group and 15 to the Manual Vacuum Aspiration Group). The following variables were analyzed: effectiveness of the method, occurrence of complications, time before the procedure, time of execution of the procedure, time after the procedure, and total time of hospital permanence, in addition to hematocrit and hemoglobin, which were measured before and after the procedure. Patients were evaluated clinically 10 to 14 days after the procedure. Parametric and nonparametric tests were used for statistical analysis, with the level of significance set at p>0.05. RESULTS: Both methods were efficient and no complications were recorded. Blood losses were similar in the two groups, but the hospitalization time was significantly shorter for the Manual Vacuum Aspiration Group (p=0.03). CONCLUSION: Manual vacuum aspiration is as efficient and safe as uterine curettage, with the advantage of requiring shorter hospitalization, which increases the resolution of the method, improving the quality of care for these patients.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of performing ultrasound (US)-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsies for the treatment (mammotome excision) of gynecomastia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between November 2005 and December 2006, nine male patients underwent US-guided mammotome excision for eleven cases of true gynecomastia. The patient ages ranged from 14 to 55 years (mean age, 32.3 years). US-guided mammotome excision was performed with an 11-gauge needle in seven cases and an 8-gauge needle in four cases. After the procedure, the cigarette method using gauze packing was performed. The number of samples, procedure time and presence of complications were evaluated. Scheduled follow-up physical and US examinations were performed after three and six months. RESULTS: For 11 cases of US-guided mammotome excision of gynecomastia, the number of samples ranged from 12-126 (mean, 66) and the procedure time ranged from 10-42 minutes (mean time, 25.1 minutes). Clinical significant complications did not occur immediately after the procedure and complications were not seen after a follow-up examination in any of the cases. At the 3- and 6-month follow up examinations, all of the patients showed a normal male physical appearance on a physical examination and there was no evidence of hypoechoic glandular tissues as seen on ultrasonograms. CONCLUSION: US-guided mammotome excision is effective for the treatment of small, glandular true gynecomastia and is suggested as a new modality to replace the need for surgery or liposuction.
