ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) makes it possible to perform intraperitoneal surgical procedures with a minimal number of access points in the abdominal wall. Currently, it is not possible to perform these interventions without the help of abdominal wall entryways, so these procedures are hybrids fusing minilaparoscopy and transluminal endoscopic surgery. This report presents a prospective clinical series of 25 patients who underwent transvaginal hybrid cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis. METHODS: The study comprised a clinical series of 25 consecutive nonrandomized women who underwent a fusion transvaginal NOTES and minilaparoscopy procedure with two trocars for cholelithiasis: one 5-mm umbilical trocar and one 3-mm trocar in the upper left quadrant. The study had no control group. RESULTS: The scheduled surgical intervention was performed for all 25 women. No intraoperative complications occurred. One patient had mild hematuria that resolved in less than 12 h, but no other complications occurred during an average follow-up period of 140 days. Of the 25 women, 20 were discharged in 24 h, and 5 were discharged less than 12 h after the procedure. CONCLUSION: Hybrid transvaginal cholecystectomy, combining NOTES and minilaparoscopy, is a good surgical model for minimally invasive surgery. It can be performed in surgical settings where laparoscopy is practiced regularly using the instruments normally used for endoscopy and laparoscopic surgery. Due to the reproducibility of the intervention and the ease of vaginal closure, hybrid transvaginal cholecystectomy will permit further development of NOTES in the future.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El objetivo del presente estudio es valorar los resultados obtenidos con la aplicación de la técnica de biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela (BSGC) en el tratamiento del melanoma. Pacientes y método. Estudio clínico prospectivo. Se practicó BSGC a los melanomas primarios con espesor de Breslow mayor de 1 mm, o factores de mal pronóstico asociados. Desde marzo de 2000 a diciembre de 2001 se valoraron 53 melanomas. Resultados. Se realizó BSGC en 37 casos, el 69,8 por ciento de los melanomas. Se obtuvieron 36 mapas linfáticos (97,3 por ciento de las gammagrafías efectuadas) y se practicaron 45 biopsias ganglionares, debido a que en 9 casos (25 por ciento) se obtuvo drenaje a dos territorios. Se obtuvieron metástasis en el ganglio centinela en tres pacientes (8,3 por ciento). En estos casos se realizó linfadenectomía regional, en dos de ellos se halló afección en el resto de la cadena, y en el tercer caso el centinela era el único ganglio afectado. Conclusiones. El 8,3 por ciento de los pacientes a los que se detectó afección metastásica ganglionar se benefició del tratamiento complementario, lo que unido a la casi nula morbilidad hace que la BSGC sea una técnica que debería ser estandarizada en todos los centros donde sea realizable y que atiendan esta patología.
