Quiste de ovario errante / Erratic ovarian cyst

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 52 años de edad, que ingresó en el Centro Nacional de Cirugía Endoscópica a causa de un dolor constante y sensación de pesadez en el bajo vientre, además de trastornos dispépticos. Después de los estudios de laboratorio e imaginológicos se diagnosticó un quiste de ovario derecho de 5-8 cm y varios cálculos menores de 10 mm en la vesícula biliar. Durante la intervención quirúrgica se encontró un quiste (ecolúcido), necrosado, adherido al mesocolon e independiente del ovario. Se practicó su exéresis y una colecistectomía. Por resultar una localización infrecuente de un quiste de ovario, se decide exponer las características clínicas y los resultados quirúrgicos y anatomopatológicos de este caso a la comunidad científica nacional e internacional. Se hace referencia además a la posibilidad que brindó el acceso por cirugía laparoscópica de realizar procedimientos asociados en un mismo paciente: colecistectomía y exéresis del quiste de ovario errante(AU)

The case of a female patient aged 52 is presented, admitted in the National Endoscopy Surgery Center due to a persistent pain and heaviness sensation in the lower stomach as well as dyspeptic disorders. After laboratory and imaging studies a cyst in right ovary of 5-8 mm diameter (echolucid), necrotic and adhered to mesocolon was diagnosed. A exeresis and a cholecystectomy were performed. Due to its infrequent location of a ovarian cyst the clinical features and the surgical and anatomical and pathological results are presented to national and international scientific community. Authors also make reference to the possibility allowed by the laparoscopic surgery approach to carry out procedures associated in a same patient: cholecystectomy and exeresis of erratic ovarian cyst(AU)

Short-term Results of the Total Ankle Arthroplasty with HINTEGRA(R) Total Ankle Prosthesis / 대한족부족관절학회지

PURPOSE: End-stage ankle arthritis is frequently combined with ankle-hindfoot deformity or ankle instability and therefore additional surgical procedures are often required when performing total ankle arthroplasty. We report the short term clinical and radiographic results of the total ankle arthroplasty with/without the combined adjunctive surgical procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The study is based on the 17 ankles (16 patients) of end-stage ankle arthritis that were treated with HINTEGRA(R)Total ankle prosthesis (Newdeal, Lyons, France) total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) from 2004 to 2007 with at least 12 months follow-up. The combined adjunctive procedures as well as the VAS pain score, AOFAS score, radiographic measurements and patient satisfactions were evaluated. RESULTS:Average follow-up period was 29 months (13~55 months) , and the age was average 62 years (39~75 years) old. Among total of 17 ankles, varus deformity and lateral ankle instability were found in 4 cases and 3 cases respectively. Twenty additional procedures such as Achilles triple hemisection (9), calcaneal displacement osteotomy (4) and lateral ankle ligament reconstruction (3) were performed in adjunct to TAA in 13 ankles. VAS pain score improved from preoperative average 8.4 (7~10) to 2.0 (0~5) and the AOFAS functional score improved from 41.8 points (13~71 points) to 90.6 (77~100 points) at final follow-up. Ninety-four percent of the patients were satisfied with the surgery. CONCLUSION: We confirmed that many adjunctive combined surgical procedures are often necessary in addressing the end-stage ankle arthritis (74%) with total ankle arthroplasty. We also achieved quite good clinical and radiographic short term results, although the long term follow-up study with larger number of cases are needed in the future.

Combined General and Gynecological Laparoscopy:Report of 160 cases / 中国微创外科杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical value of combined general and gynecological laparoscopy.Methods From March 2003 to December 2006,160 patients with abdominal and gynecological diseases were treated with laparoscopy,including laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)+ salpingostomy in 20,LC + ovarian cystectomy in 24 cases,LC + hysteromyomectomy in 12,LC + hysteromyomectomy and uterine artery blockage in 7,LC + subtotal hysterectomy in 19,LC + total hysterectomy in 11,LC + treatment of endometriosis in 6,laparoscopic appendectomy(LA)+ salpingostomy in 16,LA + ovarian cystectomy in 22,LA + subtotal hysterectomy and total hysterectomy in 18,decortication of liver cysts + ovarian cystectomy in 4,and laparoscopic hepatectomy + adnexectomy in 1.Results Laparoscopic procedures were completed in all the 160 cases without conversion to open surgery.The operation time ranged from 40 to 220 min(mean,120 min),and postoperative hospital stay ranged from 1 to 6 days(mean,3.4 days).No patient had perioperative complications.Among the 160 cases,143 were followed up for 3 to 24 months(mean,19.5),during which 1 developed vaginal stump hemorrhage 10 days after the operation and was cured by conservative therapy,1 experienced vaginal polypi at the stump 2 months postoperation and underwent polyp resection.Conclusions Combined general and gynecological laparoscopy is a promising method for patients with abdominal diseases complicated with gynecological diseases.It is important for surgeons from different departments to deeply understand the indications of laparoscopy,prepare well before operation,and cooperate closely.
