ABSTRACT

Las lesiones del plexo lumbosacro durante el embarazo y el parto son muy poco frecuentes y se han relacionado fundamentalmente con primigestas jóvenes con fetos de gran tamaño. Se suelen presentar en el puerperio inmediato, después de partos prolongados, o bien en partos instrumentales. La forma de aparición más común es como parestesias en miembros inferiores, pérdida de fuerza e incluso como síndrome de pie caído. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con una gestación a término, que acude al servicio de urgencias por síntomas sugestivos de compresión medular a nivel del plexo lumbosacro. Debido al riesgo de isquemia nerviosa se decide la finalización del parto mediante cesárea, que cursó sin incidencias. Tras la cesárea, la paciente empieza a recuperar la función sensitiva y motora con una resolución completa al alta (AU)


Lumbosacral plexus injuries during pregnancy and labor are highly uncommon and have been related to young primiparous women and overweight fetuses. These injuries usually appear during the early puerperium, after a long labor, or after instrumental deliveries. The clinical features are paresthesia in the lower extremities, weakness and drop foot syndrome. We report the case of a woman with term pregnancy who presented to the emergency room with symptoms of lumbosacral plexus compression. Due to the risk of nerve ischemia, a cesarean section was carried out with no adverse events. Immediately after delivery, the patient began to recover sensitivity and mobility, with complete resolution at discharge (AU)

ABSTRACT

La endometriosis abdominal es una entidad poco frecuente que suele plantear problemas diagnósticos. La presencia de una masa abdominal cíclicamente dolorosa en una mujer premenopáusica con antecedentes de cirugía abdominal previa por causa obstétrica o ginecológica es altamente sospechosa. El diagnóstico diferencial generalmente se realiza mediante las complicaciones posquirúrgicas más habituales, como hernias, granulomas de suturas, abscesos o incluso hematomas en los músculos rectos. El diagnóstico por imagen suele ser poco específico, por lo que se llega al diagnóstico final a través del análisis anatomopatológico de la pieza tras su escisión quirúrgica. A continuación se presentan 2 casos de endometriosis abdominal: uno es el caso de una mujer con antecedente de cesárea 3 años antes y el otro es el caso con de una mujer antecedente de extirpación de teratoma ovárico maduro 4 años antes (AU)


Abdominal endometriosis is a rare entity, which usually hampers diagnosis. The presence of a cyclically painful abdominal mass in women with a previous history of abdominal surgery for obstetric or gynecological causes is highly suggestive. The differential diagnosis should be made with the most common postsurgical complications such as abdominal hernia, suture granuloma, abscesses, and rectus muscle hematomas. Imaging diagnosis has low specificity, and the final diagnosis is reached by histopathological study of the surgical specimen. We report two cases of abdominal endometriosis; the first patient had a history of cesarean section 3 years previously and the second had a history of mature ovarian teratoma extirpated 4 years previously (AU)

ABSTRACT

El cáncer de mama es una de las enfermedades malignas más frecuentes en las mujeres. Su incidencia se ha ido incrementando cada año hasta considerarse un problema sanitario de características epidémicas. Alrededor de un 15% de las mujeres desarrolla cáncer de mama a lo largo de su vida. En los últimos años se ha realizado una gran cantidad de trabajos sobre los factores de riesgo y pronósticos de esta enfermedad. En esta revisión de la bibliografía científica, se presenta el estado actual de los factores pronósticos relacionados con la regulación del ciclo celular en el cáncer de mama (AU)


Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women. The incidence of this disease has been increasing yearly and it could now be considered an epidemic disease. Approximately 15% of women will develop this kind cancer during their lifetime. In the last few years, multiple studies have been carried out on the risk and prognostic factors of breast cancer. We provide a review of the scientific literature on the current situation of molecular prognostic factors for breast cancer related to cell cycle control (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and security of polypropylene meshes in the repair of urogenital prolapse. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Retrospective and non-randomized study in 106 patients which had different kinds of urogenital prolapse repaired using polypropylene meshes between April 2005 and January 2007. The follow-up was carried out by two visits to the hospital, 2 and 6 months after surgery. The variables analyzed were age, parity, menopause presence, kind of surgical technique, surgical time, time at hospital and complications. Afterwards, the information was analyzed descriptively. RESULTS: Average age was 64.4 years. The rate of multiparity and menopause women was 91.51% and 92.45% respectively. The most used surgical technique was the anterior mesh with tension-free band (34.90%), to repair the associated urinary incontinence. The rate of intraoperatory complications was 2.83%, immediate complications was 37.73% and late complications was 21.69%. The success rate after 6 months was 80-100% depending on the technique. CONCLUSIONS: There is a low rate of intraoperatory and 6 months after the repair in the reconstructive surgery of pelvic floor for the urogenital prolapses using polypropylene meshes, which makes this technique a secure and effective option for the treatment of this problem.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de las mallas de polipropileno en la corrección del prolapso urogenital. Material y método: estudio retrospectivo, no randomizado sobre 106 pacientes que desde Abril de 2005 a Enero de 2007 se sometieron a corrección de diferentes tipos de prolapso urogenital mediante malla de polipropileno. El seguimiento se realizó mediante visitas en consulta a los 2 y 6 meses. Las variables a analizadas fueron: edad, paridad, presencia de menopausia, tipo de intervención, tiempos quirúrgicos y de hospitalización y complicaciones. Posteriormente se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los datos. Resultados: La edad media fue de 64,4 años. De las 106 pacientes, 97 eran multíparas (91,51%) y 98 habían pasado la menopausia (92,45%). La intervención mayoritaria fue la colocación de una malla anterior con banda libre de tensión para la corrección de la incontinencia urinaria asociada representando un 34,90% del total. Se obtuvo una tasa global de complicaciones intraoperatorias del 2,83%, inmediatas del 37,73% y tardías del 21,69%. La tasa de éxito del procedimiento a los 6 meses estuvo entre 80-100% según el tipo de intervención. Conclusiones: Existe una baja tasa de complicaciones intraoperatorias y a los 6 meses en las cirugías de reparación del suelo pélvico en los prolapsos urogenitales con la malla de polipropileno, considerando este método como una opción eficaz y muy segura para el tratamiento esta patología (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence is an extended problem between middle-aged women. There are several options for its correction with different effectiveness and complication rates. Our objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of tension-free vaginal transobturator tapes (TOT) in the repair of this incontinence. Also to evaluate the patients satisfaction rate with this kind of surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study in 241 women with a surgical repair of their urinary incontinence with TOT. We analyzed the rates of effectiveness and satisfaction of the patients with the surgical repair after 2 and 6 months. The complication rate was also analyzed. RESULTS: Urinary continence rate 2 months after surgery was around 70% and the satisfaction one around 65%. After 6 months the rates were 70% and 70% respectively with a minimal variation depending on the associated surgery. The complication rate during surgery was 3.31% and the one after surgery was 26.55%, although most of them were minor complications. COMMENT: The use of TOT for the repair of urinary incontinence is an effective and safe option with a low complication rate. Moreover the rate of patients satisfaction is high.
