Enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica / Pelvic inflammatory disease

Cada año miles de mujeres experimentan un episodio de enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica (EIP) aguda y estas son sometidas a un creciente riesgo de molestias crónicas en el hemiabdomen inferior, embarazo ectópico, dolores por adherencias, infertilidad tubárica, dispareunia, el piosálpinx, los abscesos tuboováricos y muchas de ellas requerirán intervenciones quirúrgicas. Las complicaciones y secuelas de la EPI son penosamente graves para la enferma, la familia y la sociedad. Aproximadamente un 12 por ciento de mujeres se convierten en infértiles después de un simple episodio, casi un 25 por ciento después de dos episodios y casi un 50 por ciento después de tres episodios. Su diagnóstico y tratamiento tiene también un impresionante costo económico. Se realizó una revisión del tema con el objetivo de aumentar nuestros conocimientos y mejorar la calidad del diagnóstico, complicaciones, tratamiento y manejo en general de las pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica

Every year thousands of women has an event of acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) leading to a increasing risk of chronic discomforts in the lower hemi-abdomen, ectopic pregnancy, pains due to adhesions, tubal infertiliy, dyspareunia, the pyosalpinx, tubo-ovarian and more of then requiring surgical interventions. The complications and sequelae of PIE are distressing for patients, the family and the society. Approximately a 12 percent of women overcomes infertile after a single event, almost a 25 percent after two events and almost a 50 percent after three events. Its diagnosis and treatment had a high economic budget.

Notes: colecistectomía trans-vaginal video asistida: con instrumentos laparoscópicos convencionales: descripción de la técnica quirúrgica / Notes: video assisted trans-vaginal cholecystectomy with conventional laparoscopic instruments: a description of surgical technique

Las vías de abordaje para la realización de la colecistectomía han cambiado dramáticamente en los últimos 20 años, desde la cirugía abierta hasta la cirugía de invasividad mínima y ahora desde 2007 se comienza a realizar cirugía a través de orificios naturales. Con la ausencia de instrumentos ideales, puede ser posible crear accesos seguros a través del abordaje trans-vaginal con el uso de instrumentos laparoscópicos convencionales en pacientes bien seleccionados. Describir una nueva técnica quirúrgica para la realización de colecistectomía transvaginal video asistida con instrumentos laparoscópicos convencionales. Descripción de la técnica: con la paciente bajo anestesia general, colocada en posición ginecológica, accedemos a la cavidad abdominal a través de la cicatriz umbilical. Insertando un trocar de 10mm bajo visión directa, a través de este se vigilará la entrada a través de la colpotomía, a través de la vagina se introducirá una pinza de grasper de 5mm y la óptica de 30°. Con el grasper transvaginal se sujetara la vesícula y a través del portal umbilical el cirujano realizará la disección de los elementos de triangulo de Calot, extrayendo la pieza por vía vaginal. El acceso trans-vaginal es factible y seguro con material laparoscópico convencional, para la realización de colecistectomía. Es indispensable el entrenamiento en laparoscopia convencional. El cirujano debe adaptarse a los ángulos de visualización ofrecidos.

The access to perform a cholecystectomy has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, from open surgery to minimal invasive surgery such as laparoscopy and now since 2007, starting toperform through natural orifices. In the absence of ideals instruments, it could be possible to create safes access through trans-vaginal way with regular laparoscopic instruments in well selected patients. Describe a new surgical technique to perform a trans-vaginal cholecystectomy video assisted, with common laparoscoic instruments. Technical description: with the patient under general anesthesia, placed her in gynecological position, we get access to the abdominal cavity through umbilicus, inserting a 10mm trocar, them under direct vision we perform the trans-vaginal access inserting one grasping forceps and 30º scope. The vaginal grasping forceps will hold the gallbladder between the fundus and the infundibulus, exposing the Calot triangle. Through the umbilicus trocar the surgeon dissect de cystic duct and artery, them it will be separated from its bed. The gallbladder is taking out side from the abdomen through vaginal way. The trans-vaginal access is a feasibly way to perform cholecystectomy with common laparoscopic instruments. It is indispensable to dominate basic laparoscopic techniques, and before start practicing this procedure, it has to perform under animal’s models.

No analgesics were administered oral or parenteral, was discharged at 12 hours of the procedure. There was a satisfactory progress of the patient with a follow upof 30 days. Minilaparoscopy assisted surgery can be considered intermediate between NOTES, and laparoscopic surgery. The following case demonstrates the feasibility and safety of the procedure performed by general surgeons with laparoscopic training and the use of conventional instruments.

Comparison of Outcomes between Burch Colposuspension with and without Concomitant Abdominal Hysterectomy

A total abdominal hysterectomy may cause a postoperative vesicourethral dysfunction due to an injury to the pelvic nerves. However, many incontinent women with benign diseases of the uterus and its adnexae have undergone a Burch colposuspension with a concomitant abdominal hysterectomy. This study was undertaken to compare the outcomes of a Burch colposuspension performed alone with that of a Burch with a concomitant abdominal hysterectomy. This study included 132 women, who, were treated for primary urinary incontinence from February 1999 to February 2002 and were diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence by means of the urodynamic test at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yonsei University Hospital. Forty-two women underwent a Burch colposuspension alone (Burch group) and 90 women underwent a Burch colposuspension with a concomitant abdominal hysterectomy (hysterectomy group). Between the Burch and hysterectomy groups, the mean age, parity, menopausal rate, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) rate, 1 year follow-up outcomes and postoperative complications were compared using the subjective and objective stress tests according to the retrospective chart review. The mean age (54.6 +/- 0.5 vs 58.6 +/- 9.2 years, p=0.382), parity (3.3 +/- 1.2 vs 3.6 +/- 1.7), menopausal rate (71.4 vs 77.7%), or HRT rate (23.3 vs 11.2%) of the two groups were similar. Complications related to surgery were encountered in 5 patients (11.9%) in the Burch group and in 7 patients (7.8%) in the hysterectomy group (p=0.842). One year follow-up subjective symptoms were encounterd in 2 patients in the Burch group and in 4 patients in the hysterectomy group (p=1.00). The stress test was positive in only one patient in the hysterectomy (p=1.00). No significant difference was observed in the 1 year follow-up outcomes, which were 91.4% (32/35 patients) in the Burch and 91.2% (73/80) in the hysterectomy groups. The results showed that there were no adverse effects on the 1 year follow-up outcomes or complications in patients who underwent a Burch colposuspension with an abdominal hysterectomy.
