Minas1, L. Shaw1, T. Aust1 1Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Wirral University Teaching Hospital, Wirral, United Kingdom OBJECTIVES Pregnancy in a uterine rudimentary horn presents with an incidence of 1:100,000 pregnancies and carries a high risk of uterine rupture with severe and potentially lethal intra-abdominal haemorrhage. Accurate pre-operative diagnosis can be difficult. Limited published evidence suggests that such cases may be managed successfully by laparoscopy. A number of authors have used destructive techniques to the fetus following excision of the rudimentary horn, to extract the tissues laparoscopically. Pre-operative feticide is recommended in cases where morcellation of the fetus is planned. We encountered a live unruptured 11-week rudimentary horn pregnancy in a woman with one previous normal delivery at term. We aimed to excise the pregnant rudimentary horn laparoscopically and avoid destructive techniques to ease the patient's concerns. At laparoscopy a particularly dilated vascular infundibulopelvic ligament was seen at the side of the pregnant horn. METHODS We demonstrate the laparoscopic management of the case with the use of extracorporeal Roeder knots to secure the unusually dilated left infundibulopelvic ligament. We have performed a literature review using PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews to identify relevant cases and draw conclusions with regards to their management. RESULTS The procedure was completed successfully by laparoscopy. The pregnant rudimentary horn was excised and haemostasis was secured by using a combination of LigaSure™ and extracorporeal Roeder knots. We extended our suprapubic port to 3 cm to extract the fetus and thus avoided the use of destructive techniques. The estimated blood loss was minimal. The patient's recovery period was uneventful and she was discharged home on day 1 post-operatively. At the time this abstract was written the woman was pregnant following natural conception, with an estimated delivery date 16 May 2014. CONLCUSIONS There exists a growing body of evidence of rudimentary horn pregnancies successfully managed by laparoscopy (20 cases in total, including the present case). These include second trimester pregnancies as well as a case of a ruptured horn. We suggest that when encountered with large dilated vascular pedicles, securing them by extracorporeal Roeder knots is a safe alternative. In advanced gestations, patients must be counselled pre-operatively about the potential need for destructive techniques. In such cases, feticide may need to be performed. We found that the patient's anxiety was alleviated by the knowledge that the fetus was extracted intact and for this purpose we recommend a small extension to the suprapubic port. The possibility of uncommon presentations such as duplicated or absent ureter should be taken into account pre-operatively, and the ureter must be identified intra-operatively. When the expertise is available, laparoscopy appears to be at least as safe as and potentially superior to laparotomy for the management of rudimentary horn pregnancies. http://player.vimeo.com/video/104201316?autoplay=1 *** 1 ES23-0326 Video Session 1: Other Benign Gynaecology REVERSE ROBOTIC HYSTERECTOMY WITH PARADOXICAL CAMERA PLACEMENT M. Orady1, C. Salazar1 1Women's Health Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Rocky River, USA Objectives: This video will demonstrate a novel approach to robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy for a large uterus. After having utilized this approach several times, it has been further refined to allow for simplified access to uterine and utero-ovarian vasculature utilizing a paradoxical camera placement below the uterine fundus and a reverse approach to the hysterectomy procedure. This allows for safe control of vasculature to prevent bleeding during the procedure utilizing and umbilical site for camera placement. Methods: This versatile approach was utilized in a 40 year old African American patient with a history of menorrhagia, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and two prior cesarean sections who was found to have a 22 week sized fibroid uterus. She desired definitive management with a minimally invasive approach to hysterectomy. Results: Large uteri often pose a challenge for the gynecologic surgeon performing a hysterectomy whether approached laparoscopically or via robotic assistance. The classic robotic camera placement in the supra-umbilical region often decreases visibility of the lower uterine segment, potentially decreasing success in the very large uterus and increasing the risk of ureteral or bladder injury and bleeding. Creative utilization of the robot can open up new venues for optimizing access and visualization to the most vital structures involved in performing a hysterectomy. By utilizing a 30 degree scope and placing the camera intra-umbilically below the level of the uterine fundus, the surgeon was able to effectively focus cephalad to secure ovarian vasculature as well as clearly visualize the region of the uterine vasculature, ureter and bladder flap by opening up the anterior and posterior leaflets of the broad ligament and dissecting the retro-peritoneal anatomy. This allowed for safe and adequate control of uterine blood supply. Once uterine vessels are sealed by then continuing the dissection upwards along the ascending uterine vessels in a reverse approach the utero-ovarian ligaments were then sealed and cut and uterus was separated from the broad and round ligaments. Culpotomy could then be easily performed thus completing the hysterectomy safely and efficiently with minimal blood loss. Conclusion: Paradoxical camera placement may be utilized for large uteri with narrow lower uterine segments and the absence of cul de sac pathology by starting the hysterectomy inferiorly and working in the caudad direction. http://player.vimeo.com/video/103299264?autoplay=1 *** ES23-0440 Video Session 2: Operative Risk Management AN UNUSUAL (AND LIFE-THREATENING) COMPLICATION DURING RTLH – UTERUS JAMMING BETWEEN RIGHT EXTERNAL ILIAC VESSELS FOLLOWING A FALSE MANOEUVRE M. Pliszkiewicz1, B. Siekierski1, G. Stokluska1 2 1Gynaecology, Centrum Medyczne Zelazna, Warszawa, Poland Surgeons: B.P.Siekierski, MD, PhD; G.Stokluska, MD; M.Pliszkiewicz, MD; Anaesthetist: M.Golebiowska; scrub nurse: K.Falkiewicz. Location: St Sophia Ob/Gyn hospital, Warsaw, Poland. This presentation is a warning against uncontrolled movements of instruments outside the visualised surgical area in laparoscopy, particularly when instruments are being switched. Their movements should be visually followed from insertion until they reach the working area. Even experienced surgeons should follow fundamental rules of manipulation in the surgical area. The patient was a 32-year-old multipara with IB cervical carcinoma, undergoing RTLH. Surgical setting included Storz laparoscopy equipment and instruments, a Hohl uterine manipulator without screw and bar, an Erbe Vio 300D electrosurgcial unit with BiClamp® and BiSect® instruments. The patient was stabilised in a 20o Trendelenburg position. The working intra-abdominal pressure was 12 mmHg. Trocar positioning: right upper abdomen trocar (10 mm, optics), umbilibal trocar (10 mm), two lateral lower abdomen trocars (5 mm). Due to the anatomy of the patient, the optical trocar was placed to the right and above the umbilical trocar to provide sufficient working space. The event presented in this video occurred following bilateral iliac and obturator lymphadenectomy, when the uterus was moved to the right for dissection of the left ureteric canal. The video helps understand why the complication occurred and shows how the problem was solved. Fundamental principles of endoscopy surgery should be observed at all times, and instruments should never be used if their movement is not sufficiently visualised. This potentially fatal incident was solved without detriment to the patient, and no major damage occurred within the vessels exposed to uncontrolled forces, apart from limited damage to vasa vasorum of the external and common iliac arteries. The postoperative course was uneventful. http://player.vimeo.com/video/103330199?autoplay=1 *** ES23-0050 Video Session 3: Urogynaecology SYSTEMATICS IN LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY H. Magg1, D. Sarlos1, G. Schaer1 1Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kantonsspital Aarau, Aarau, Switzerland Objectives Within the last few years, laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (SCP) has established itself as gold standard in therapy of the apical pelvic floor defect. Increasingly, this procedure is performed laparoscopically (LSCP). Current data show it is safe and objective and subjective cure rates are high. Until today, no widely accepted standard how to perform LSCP exists. Which is the ideal material for the suture? What comprises the ideal mesh? How should it be composed? What points and depth are ideal for fixation? Is it possible to leave the uterus, performing a sacrohysteropexy or should a supracervical hysterectomy be performed simultaneously? To all these important questions, there are yet no evidence based answers. 3 Methods This video demonstrates

  • Chapter 14 – Female Reproductive Organs
    Chapter 14 – Female reproductive organs The fee allowance for a hysteroscopy procedure includes an amount for dilation and curettage (D&C) and the insertion of a Mirena coil so we will not reimburse additional fees charged for these procedures. Similarly, where a therapeutic hysteroscopy is carried out, we will not pay any additional fees charged for a diagnostic hysteroscopy. The fee allowance for a hysterectomy procedure for ovarian malignancy includes an amount for the removal of the omentum and so this should not be charged as an additional procedure. A cystoscopy should not be charged as an additional procedure alongside any suspension/uro-gynaecological procedure. The insertion of a suprapubic catheter is considered part and parcel of procedures such as a suprapubic sling or the retropubic suspension of the bladder neck and so we will not pay any additional fees charged for this procedure. The fee allowance for a colposcopy procedure includes an amount for a punch biopsy. The fee allowance for a therapeutic laparoscopy includes an amount for a diagnostic laparoscopy. The code for the insertion of a prosthesis into the ureter is intended for use by urologists inserting a stent and not for circumstances where the ureter is being identified during hysterectomy. However, we recognise this does involve some additional work and consider a small uplift in the fee to be reasonable. Many pathological processes result in the formation of adhesions so ‘adhesiolysis’ is considered to be a normal part and parcel of these procedures. Therefore, we do not have a specific code for the division of adhesions.

    IP 372/2 [IPGXXX] NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES PROGRAMME Interventional procedure overview of uterine suspension using mesh (including sacrohysteropexy) to repair uterine prolapse Uterine prolapse happens when the womb (uterus) slips down from its usual position into the vagina. Uterine suspension using mesh involves attaching 1 end of the mesh to the lower part of the uterus or cervix. The other end is attached to a bone at the base of the spine or to a ligament in the pelvis. The procedure can be done through open abdominal surgery or laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). The aim is to support the womb. Introduction The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has prepared this interventional procedure (IP) overview to help members of the interventional procedures advisory committee (IPAC) make recommendations about the safety and efficacy of an interventional procedure. It is based on a rapid review of the medical literature and specialist opinion. It should not be regarded as a definitive assessment of the procedure.

ABSTRACT Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the descent of the pelvic organs beyond their anatomical confines. The definitive treatment of symptomatic prolapse is surgery but its management in young is unique due to various considerations. Aim of this study was to evaluate anatomical and functional outcome after abdominal sacrohysteropexy and vaginal hysterectomy for pelvic organ prolapse in young women. Methods: A total 27 women less than 35 years of age with pelvic organ prolapse underwent either abdominal sacrohysteropexy or vaginal hysterectomy with repair. In all women, pre-op and post-op POP-Q was done for evaluation of anatomical defect and a validated questionnaire was given for subjective outcome. Results: Anatomical outcome was significant in both groups as per POP-Q grading but the symptomatic outcome was better for sacrohysteropexy with regard to surgical time, bleeding, ovarian conservation, urinary symptoms, sexual function.

    6th I-DSD Symposium Programme. 29th June – 1st July 2017, Copenhagen, Denmark Abstracts Session 1 – Setting The Scene “Stuck in the middle” Eric Vilain MD PhD For families, the birth of a child with a Disorder/Difference of Sex Development (DSD), and uncertainty about the child’s gender and future psychosocial development, is believed to be very stressful. Potential stressors include the parents’ need to gather medical information, make decisions about gender assignment and surgical interventions, cope with medical treatments and the possibility of multiple operations, and handle familial strains related to the perceived stigma of DSD. These stressors are amplified by a large number of uncertainties in the management of DSD. I will review the current uncertainties in the world of DSD (naming, diagnosis, gender, genital surgery, disclosure, fertility, outcomes) and discuss how I have attempted to navigate the waters –often troubled- flowing between the different stakeholders involved with DSD. Session 2 – International Collaborations & Moving Forward The needs of people with conditions affecting sex development Joanne Hall (CLIMB CAH Group) Joanne is a mother of two daughters with salt wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and is a member of the UK based CAH support group. Joanne represents the support group at European COST Action meetings and through this recently co-ordinated a European based patient/parent workshop, primarily to engage with professionals and discuss what has worked and has not worked with patient care from childhood through to adulthood. Using learning from this workshop, along with her personal and professional experience of working with families and facilitating groups, Joanne hopes to provide information and practical guidance for professionals to engage with parents and patients, in order to find out what the needs are for people affected by conditions of sexual development within the professional’s own local clinical setting.
