ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Analizar las peculiaridades quirúrgicas asociadas al tratamiento por vía laparoscópica del quiste dermoide ovárico. Se estudian, igualmente, los factores asociados a la rotura intraoperatoria del quiste y su trascendencia clínica. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de 131 quistes dermoides intervenidos por vía laparoscópica en el Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves desde enero de 2000 hasta diciembre de 2008. Resultados. La edad media de las pacientes fue de 32,4 años. El tamaño medio del quiste fue de 63,8mm. En el 62,6% de los casos se pudo realizar cirugía conservadora (quistectomía). Sólo 2 pacientes precisaron reintervención por problemas hemorrágicos. La estancia media fue de 1,6 días. La rotura intraoperatoria del quiste ocurrió con más frecuencia cuando se practicó quistectomía. No hubo ningún caso de peritonitis. Conclusiones. La laparoscopia es la técnica de elección en el tratamiento quirúrgico del quiste dermoide de ovario. Las complicaciones son mínimas y la recuperación rápida. Si se produce la rotura intraoperatoria del quiste no suele tener trascendencia clínica alguna (AU)


Objective. To analyze the surgical characteristics of laparoscopic treatment of dermoid cyst and the factors associated with intraoperative spillage and its clinical importance. Material and methods. A retrospective research was performed of 131 dermoid cysts treated by laparoscopy at the Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital from January 2000 to December 2008. Results. The mean age of the patients was 32.4 years. The mean size of the cysts was 63.8mm. In 62.6% of the patients, conservative surgery (cystectomy) was feasible. Only two patients needed reintervention due to bleeding complications. The mean length of hospital stay was 1.6 days. Intraoperative spillage was more common when cystectomy was performed. There were no cases of peritonitis. Conclusions. Laparoscopic surgery is the first treatment option in the management of ovarian dermoid cysts. There are few complications and healing is rapid. Spillage is usually clinically unimportant (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate detection and false-positive rates of the ultrasound markers-nasal bone (NB), ductus venosus (DV) flow and tricuspid regurgitation (TR)-during the first trimester in a population at high genetic risk, and to study the influence of a two-stage screening policy alter previous combined screening on the rate of invasive procedures. METHODS: A total of 333 chorionic villus samples were obtained in singleton pregnancies. Before biopsy, the ultrasound markers-NB, DV, and TR-were assessed, although the findings were not used to recalculate the previously determined risk for Down syndrome. RESULTS: Detection and false-positive rates for Down syndrome were 63.2% and 3.4% for NB, 65% and 3.1% for DV, and 50% and 2.1% for TR. All three markers were normal in 30% [84/277, 95% confidence interval (CI) 25%-36%] of chorionic villus sampling (CVS) cases performed for abnormal findings at the first trimester genetic screen, with 0% (0/20, 95% CI 0%-17%) false-negative rate for Down syndrome. CONCLUSION: Assessment of secondary ultrasound markers is feasible in clinical practice and their use could reduce the number of unnecessary invasive procedures by 30%.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Evaluar la eficacia de la pulsioximetría y el electrocardiograma fetal en la conducción del parto con registro de frecuencia cardíaca fetal compatible con riesgo de pérdida del bienestar fetal (RPBF).Sujetos y métodosSe trataba de un estudio experimental aleatorizado abierto con dos brazos; en uno se aplicó la técnica de la pulsioximetría y en el otro la técnica STAN®. En cada grupo se incluyó a 40 gestantes con feto único, gestación a término, en presentación cefálica y registro cardiotocográfico (RCTG) compatible con RPBF. Se analizaron las variables: tasa total de cesáreas, indicaciones basadas en el RPBF y las repercusiones en el equilibrio ácido-base neonatal.ResultadosNo se han obtenido diferencias significativas en cuanto a la tasa de cesáreas (el 47,5 frente al 40%; p=0,33) ni a la indicación por RPBF (el 32,5 frente al 37,5%; p=0,41). Tampoco en los resultados neonatales.ConclusionesLa utilización de la pulsioximetría y STAN(R)21, como métodos auxiliares del RCTG; no han demostrado ser superiores en lo que se refiere a descenso de la tasa de cesáreas o mejoría del bienestar fetal (AU)


Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of pulse oximetry and fetal electrocardiogram in the management of labor with fetal heart rate patterns associated with a risk of loss of fetal well-being.Subjects and methodsWe performed an open, randomized, experimental trial with two groups: pulse oximetry was used in one group and the STAN® technique was used in the other. Each group included 40 women with single, term pregnancies in cephalic presentation and fetal heart rate patterns associated with a risk of loss of fetal well-being. The overall cesarean section rate, indications of risk of fetal distress, and neonatal acid-base balance were evaluated.ResultsNo significant differences were found in the rate of cesarean section (47.5 vs 40%; P=.33), indications of risk of fetal distress (32.5 vs 37.5%; P=.41), or neonatal outcomes.ConclusionsThe use of pulse oximetry and STAN(R)21, as auxiliary methods to cardiotocographic recording, showed no superiority in reducing the cesarean section rate or improving neonatal outcomes (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados obtenidos en el tratamiento de gestaciones monocoriales biamnióticas complicadas con síndrome de transfusión feto-fetal (STFF) grave o crecimiento intrauterino retardado (CIR) selectivo mediante la fotocoagulación láser de las anastomosis vasculares placentarias. Material y métodos: Se realizó esa terapia en 22 gestaciones, 17 por STFF severo y 5 por CIR selectivo. Se analizan la gravedad de los casos antes de la cirugía, las complicaciones obstétricas y la supervivencia fetal. Resultados: Hubo 17 casos de STFF grave; en 15 (88%) de ellos sobrevivió al menos uno de los gemelos. En los 5 casos por CIR selectivo, el feto con crecimiento normal vivió en 3 casos, incluido uno donde el feto con CIR también vivió. Conclusiones: Los resultados muestran la implementación exitosa de la cirugía láser endoscópica en una de las unidades de referencia de medicina fetal de España tras un entrenamiento apropiado del operador (AU)


Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies with severe twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) or selective fetal growth restriction (FGR) treated by endoscopic laser separation of placental vessels in our unit. Material and methods: Fetoscopic laser therapy was performed in 22 MCDA pregnancies, including 17 for severe TTTS, and five for selective FGR. Presurgical severity, obstetric complications, and fetal survival were analyzed. Results: In 15 of the 17 (88%) cases of severe TTTS, at least one twin survived. In the five cases of selective FGR, the fetus with normal growth survived in three cases, including one in which the growth restricted fetus also survived. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the successful implementation of endoscopic laser surgery in a fetal medicine center in Spain after appropriate training of the operator (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Establecer la incidencia de cáncer enmujeres menopáusicas sin hemorragia vaginal ycon endometrio > 5 mm medido por ecografíavaginal.Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo queincluyó a 270 mujeres menopáusicas sinhemorragia de origen uterino y con endometrio> 5 mm. Se les realizó una histeroscopia conestudio histológico de cualquier anomalía yvaloramos la incidencia de cáncer de endometrio.Resultados: Detectamos 5 cánceres en 270mujeres, con una incidencia del 1,85%. De las 106pacientes con sospecha ecográfica de pólipoendometrial, diagnosticamos 4 cánceres deendometrio (3,77%), todos en estadio I. Ningunapaciente con cáncer había tenido tratamientohormonal.Conclusiones: La incidencia de cánceres enmujeres menopáusicas sin hemorragia vaginal consospecha ecográfica de pólipo de endometrio(3,77%) obligaría ha realizar una histeroscopia conbiopsia. Creemos que habría que determinar elgrosor endometrial que debemos considerarpatológico en estas mujeres


Objective: To determine the incidence ofendometrial cancer in asymptomaticpostmenopausal women with a sonographicendometrial thickness above 5 mm.Materials and methods: We performed aretrospective study of 270 asymptomaticpostmenopausal women with endometrial thickness> 5 mm on sonography. All women underwenthysteroscopy with histological evaluation ifrequired. The incidence of endometrial cancer wasevaluated.Results: Five cases of endometrial cancer werediagnosed in the 270 women, representing anincidence of 1.85%. Of the 106 patients with asonographic image leading to suspicion of polyp,four were diagnosed with endometrial cancer(3.77%), all of which were stage I tumors. None ofthe 270 women was receiving hormonereplacement therapyConclusions: The incidence of endometrial cancerin asymptomatic postmenopausal women withsonographic suspicion of polyp was 3.77%. Patientswith this sonographic finding should undergothorough hysteroscopy and biopsy to rule outmalignancy. We believe that the cut-off value forendometrial thickness in postmenopausal womenwithout vaginal bleeding should be determined

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analizar los resultados perinatales de gestantes inmigrantes y la influencia del grado de control del embarazo. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal de una serie de casos con 1.874 mujeres de nacionalidad española y 1.874 mujeres inmigrantes, divididas éstas en 3 grupos: sin control del embarazo (0-1 visita), mal control (2-3 visitas) y buen control (4 o más visitas). Se analizaron las variables relacionadas con el control del embarazo y los resultados neonatales en cada grupo. Resultados: Las inmigrantes presentan un peor control del embarazo, acuden al hospital con el parto más avanzado, hacen menos uso de la analgesia epidural y presentan cifras más altas de mortalidad perinatal, lo cual se relaciona con el grado de control de la gestación. Conclusión: Los peores resultados perinatales del colectivo de mujeres inmigrantes se relacionan con el grado de control médico del embarazo más que con el hecho de la inmigración


Objective: To evaluate perinatal outcomes in pregnant immigrant women and the influence of prenatal care attendance. Patients and methods: We performed a cross-sectional, descriptive, case-series study of 1,874 Spanish women and 1,874 immigrant women divided into three groups: no prenatal care (0-1 visits), poor care (2-3 visits) and good care (4 or more visits). Variables related to prenatal care, pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes were studied in each group. Results: Immigrants had poorer prenatal care, attended hospital at a later phase of labor, had lower use of epidural analgesia, and showed a higher mortality rate than Spanish-born women, which was related to the amount of prenatal care received. Conclusion: The poorer perinatal outcomes in immigrant women were related to the amount of prenatal care rather than to immigrant status alone
