Objective To investigate the impact of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endo-scopic surgery(NOTES)-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy on female sexual function and quality of life . Methods This was a prospective study on the change of female sexual function and quality of life of female patients who underwent transvaginal NOTES-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy from May .2011 to Nov. 2012.A total of 42 cases were included in this study (28 of them with severe hydronephrosis , non-functio-ning kidney , 11 with pyelonephrosis , 1 with renal tuberculosis , 1 with duplex kidney complicated with hy-dronephrosis, and 1 with renal angiomyolipoma ).The mean age was 36.9±5.3 (26-45) years, and the mean body mass index was 21.7±2.6 (14.7 to 27.1) kg/m2.Twenty-four cases were operated on the left side, 18 cases on the right .The female sexual function and quality of life were assessed before and 4 months, 7 months and 1 year after surgery using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire and the MOS 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), respectively. Results The mean FSFI of 42 cases preoperatively and 4 months, 7 months and 1 yr postoperatively were 27.74 ±4.34, 27.19 ±4.49, 28.54±4.23, and 28.68 ±4.19, respectively.There was no statistically significant difference among them (F=1.111, P=0.346).Compared with that of preoperation , the physical function, vitality, metal health, body pain, and general health of the patients were improved , but the role-physical, role-emotion and social function were not improved at postoperative month 4 and month 7 (P<0.05).Each item of SF-36 was im-proved after postoperative 1 year ( P<0.05) . Conclusions Transvaginal NOTES-assisted laparoscopic ne-phrectomy does not cause negative effect on the female sexual function .The quality of life can be improved after operation .The physical function is improved at early stage , and the psychological function as well .
Résumé
Objective To describe the initial clinical experience of transvaginal NOTES-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. Methods From May to June 2010, 4 female patients with non-functioning kidney and 1 female patient with renal tuberculosis underwent transvaginal NOTES-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. The median age was 41 years (range 36 to 63). Three lesions were on the right side, and 2 on the left. After induction of general anesthesia, the patients were positioned in lithotomy with ipsilateral lumbar at 60° angle to the operating table. A 5 mm Trocar and a 10 mm Trocar were placed through the umbilicus, and a 10 mm Trocar for 30° laparoscope was placed through the posterior vaginal fornix under direct vision. The kidneys were put into a home-made bag and removed via the incision of posterior vaginal fornix after there were completely resected. Results The 5 procedures were successfully finished. The median operative time was 190 (range 150 to 260)min. The median estimated blood loss was 185 (range 150 to 210) ml. There were no intra-operative or postoperative complications. The patients resumed ambulation 1 day after surgery, and resumed nutrition 2 days after surgery. The drainages were removed on postoperactive day 3. The patients were discharged on postoperative day 7. The incision in vagina healed well. Conclusions Transvaginal NOTES-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy is feasible and reproducible. This novel technique may provide additional benefits related to postoperative pain, recovery, and cosmetic results even when compared to today's minimally invasive procedures.
Résumé
Objective To assess the clinical value of retroperitoneoscopic pyelolithotomy (RPPL) and retroperitoneoscopic ureterolithotomy (RPUL) in treating renal pelvis or ureteral calculus. Methods A total of 81 patients with renal pelvis or ureteral calculi underwent RPPL and RPUL on 88 sides. Of them 30 were women and 51 were men. Their age ranged from 12 to 65 years (mean,36 years).The calculi were found on left side in 41 cases,on right side in 33,and on both sides in 7.The calculi were 0.8 to 3.0 cm in diameters.Pyelolithiasis occurred in 11 cases,upper ureteral calculi in 68 cases and middle in 2 cases.Of them 3 had radioparent calculi in ureter.In these patients,21 had experienced unsuccessful ESWL,or ureterorenolithotripsy (URL),or both;2 had undergone conversion to retroperitoneoscopic surgery when the procedure failed in minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) or perforation occurred during URL. Results All the stones were completely removed by single procedure.The operation time was between 30 and 210 min with a mean of 65 min.The intra-operative mean bleeding volume was 25 ml (range,10 to 60 ml).30 cases with other urinary tract diseases were cured by retroperitoneoscopic surgery at the same time.The hospital stay was from 4 to 10 days.During the follow-up (1 to 16 months) for the 60 cases,no recurrent calculus was found. Conclusions In selected patients with large,hard,radioparent,chronically impacted pelvis or upper ureteral stones,especially in solitary kidney,RPPL and RPUL may be considered as the first-line treatment and as a salvage procedure for failed ESWL and endoscopy.With these procedures the urinary tract complications can be treated concomitantly.
