Correspondence to: Toy G. Lee, MD. Division of Urogynecology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The University of Texas Medical Branch, 301 University Blvd, Galveston, Texas 77555, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: In pelvic organ prolapse, anatomical defects may occur in either the anterior, posterior, or apical vaginal compartment. The apex must be evaluated correctly. Often, defects will occur in more the one compartment with apical defects contributing primarily to the descent of the anterior or posterior vaginal wall. If the vaginal apex, defined as either the cervix or vaginal cuff after total hysterectomy, is displaced downward, it is referred to as apical prolapse and must be addressed. Apical prolapse procedures may be performed via native tissue repair or with the use of mesh augmentation. Sacrospinous ligament suspension and uterosacral ligament suspension are common native tissue repairs, traditionally performed vaginally to re-support the apex. The uterosacral ligament suspension may also be performed laparoscopically. We review the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, evaluation, pre-operative considerations, surgical techniques, complications, and outcomes of these procedures.

  • Laparoscopic Extraperitoneal Salpingo-Oophorectomy in Women with Suspicious Ovarian Mass, a Way to Reduce the Risk of Spillage

Department of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Palermo, Piazza Nicola Leotta 4, 90127 Palermo, Italy. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: The objective of the present paper is to provide a step by step description of the laparoscopic extraperitoneal salpingo-oophorectomy, a surgical technique useful to reduce the risk of spillage in women with suspected ovarian masses. The patient was a 52-year-old woman with sonographic diagnosis of a multilocular, 5 cm lesion, with Color Score 3 at right ovary. Computed tomography (CT) scan excluded any other localization of disease. Tumor markers were negative, except for Ca 19.9 that was 85 IU/mL. Preliminary diagnostic laparoscopy was performed and peritoneal carcinomatosis was excluded. In order to obtain a histological diagnosis, an extraperitoneal right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. At frozen section analysis it was diagnosed an ovarian adenocarcinoma. Therefore, a laparoscopic complete surgical staging including total hysterectomy, controlateral salpingo-oophorectomy, infracolic omentectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies, and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, was performed. Operative time was 240 minutes and estimated blood loss was about 50 mL. No intra or post-operative complications were observed, and the patient was discharged 3 days after surgery. Final histology showed the presence of clear cell high grade carcinoma in both ovaries without fallopian tubes infiltration.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Introduction • The female reproductive system is more complex than the male system because it serves more purposes – Produces and delivers gametes – Provides nutrition and safe harbor for fetal development – Gives birth – Nourishes infant • Female system is more cyclic, and the hormones are secreted in a more complex sequence than the relatively steady secretion in the male 28-2 Sexual Differentiation • The two sexes indistinguishable for first 8 to 10 weeks of development • Female reproductive tract develops from the paramesonephric ducts – Not because of the positive action of any hormone – Because of the absence of testosterone and müllerian-inhibiting factor (MIF) 28-3 Reproductive Anatomy • Expected Learning Outcomes – Describe the structure of the ovary – Trace the female reproductive tract and describe the gross anatomy and histology of each organ – Identify the ligaments that support the female reproductive organs – Describe the blood supply to the female reproductive tract – Identify the external genitalia of the female – Describe the structure of the nonlactating breast 28-4 Sexual Differentiation • Without testosterone: – Causes mesonephric ducts to degenerate – Genital tubercle becomes the glans clitoris – Urogenital folds become the labia minora – Labioscrotal folds

  • The Morphology, Androgenic Function, Hyperplasia, and Tumors of the Human Ovarian Hilus Cells * William H
    THE MORPHOLOGY, ANDROGENIC FUNCTION, HYPERPLASIA, AND TUMORS OF THE HUMAN OVARIAN HILUS CELLS * WILLIAM H. STERNBERG, M.D. (From the Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, Tulane University of Louisiana and the Charity Hospital of Louisiana, New Orleans, La.) The hilus of the human ovary contains nests of cells morphologically identical with testicular Leydig cells, and which, in all probability, pro- duce androgens. Multiple sections through the ovarian hilus and meso- varium will reveal these small nests microscopically in at least 8o per cent of adult ovaries; probably in all adult ovaries if sufficient sections are made. Although they had been noted previously by a number of authors (Aichel,l Bucura,2 and von Winiwarter 3"4) who failed to recog- nize their significance, Berger,5-9 in 1922 and in subsequent years, pre- sented the first sound morphologic studies of the ovarian hilus cells. Nevertheless, there is comparatively little reference to these cells in the American medical literature, and they are not mentioned in stand- ard textbooks of histology, gynecologic pathology, nor in monographs on ovarian tumors (with the exception of Selye's recent "Atlas of Ovarian Tumors"10). The hilus cells are found in clusters along the length of the ovarian hilus and in the adjacent mesovarium. They are, almost without excep- tion, found in contiguity with the nonmyelinated nerves of the hilus, often in intimate relationship to the abundant vascular and lymphatic spaces in this area. Cytologically, a point for point correspondence with the testicular Leydig cells can be established in terms of nuclear and cyto- plasmic detail, lipids, lipochrome pigment, and crystalloids of Reinke.

Hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) as well as Urogenital sinus immunohistochemical stains were used to study the development of the human uterine tube, endometrium, Uterovaginal canal myometrium, uterine cervix and vagina. Our study revisits and updates the classical reports of Koff (1933) and Uterus Bulmer (1957) and presents new data on development of human vaginal epithelium. Koff proposed that the Cervix upper 4/5ths of the vagina is derived from Müllerian epithelium and the lower 1/5th derived from urogenital Vagina sinus epithelium, while Bulmer proposed that vaginal epithelium derives solely from urogenital sinus epithelium.
