    IP1242 [IPG509] NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES PROGRAMME Interventional procedure overview of hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for primary infertility or recurrent miscarriage In some women the uterus (womb) is divided into 2 halves by a thin wall of tissue, called a septum. This may affect fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage. In hysteroscopic metroplasty a thin tube with a camera on the end (a hysteroscope) is inserted into the vagina, through the cervix and into the womb. Instruments are passed through the hysteroscope into the womb and the septum is removed. 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. Date prepared This IP overview was prepared in April 2014 and updated in November 2014.

IP overview: hysteroscopic metroplasty of uterine septum in women with primary infertility or recurrent miscarriage 1 of 44 IP1242 [IPG509] Description Indications and current treatment A septate uterus is a type of congenital uterine anomaly, in which the inside of the uterus is divided by a muscular or fibrous wall, called the septum. The septum may be partial or complete, extending as far as the cervix.

METHODS: Twenty five female Wistar Albino rats, weighing 230 to 270 g and 7 to 9 months of age were randomized into 5 groups. Group 1 was the control group, Group 2 comprised the Hyalobarrier gel group, Group 3 was made up of the Seprafilm-treated subjects, Group 4 was the tendon repair and Hyalobarrier gel group, and Group 5 was the tendon repair and Seprafilm group. Two gastrocnemius muscle tendons of each animal, a total of 50 tendons, were used. The animals were sacrificed with the administration of a high dose of anesthetic on postoperative day 40. Macroscopic evaluation of adhesions was classified by 2 blinded researchers according to Tang’s adhesion grading system. The number of fibroblasts and the density and formation of collagen fibers were noted for histopathological examination.

  • Placement of Surgiwrap® Adhesion Barrier Film Around the Protective
    International Journal of Colorectal Disease (2019) 34:513–518 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00384-018-03229-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Placement of SurgiWrap® adhesion barrier film around the protective loop stoma after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery may reduce the peristomal adhesion severity and facilitate the closure Chao-Wen Hsu1,2 & Min-Chi Chang1 & Jui-Ho Wang1 & Chih-Chien Wu1 & Yu-Hsun Chen1 Accepted: 21 December 2018 /Published online: 7 January 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose A temporary loop stoma is often created after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. Peristomal adhesions may make stoma closure into a complicated operation. We demonstrated how to place the SurgiWrap® adhesion barrier film and evaluated the peristomal adhesion severity and feasibility of stoma closure. Methods This is a retrospective case-control study. Patients were divided into a study group (placement of adhesion barrier film) and a control group (no placement). Patient characteristics, operative data, and severity of adhesions were recorded. We used logistic regression to probe the association between the variables and the adhesion severity. Results A total of 180 patients were identified with 60 in the study group and 120 in the control group. In the study group, the adhesion severity (p < 0.001), operative time (p =0.025),andtimetoflatus(p = 0.042) are significantly reduced. In logistic regression analysis, placement of the film (p < 0.001), neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (p = 0.041), and time interval between stoma creation and closure ≧ 12 weeks (p = 0.038) are three significant factors influencing the peristomal adhesion. Conclusion The placement of SurgiWrap® adhesion barrier film around the loop stoma after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery may reduce the peristomal adhesion severity and facilitate the stoma closure in terms of operative time and time to flatus.

  • Postoperative Adhesions in Gynecologic Surgery: a Committee Opinion
    ASRM PAGES Postoperative adhesions in gynecologic surgery: a committee opinion Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in collaboration with the Society of Reproductive Surgeons American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Birmingham, Alabama Postoperative adhesions are a natural consequence of surgical tissue trauma and healing and may result in infertility, pain, and bowel obstruction. Adherence to microsurgical principles and minimally invasive surgery may help to decrease postoperative adhesions. Some surgical barriers have been demonstrated to be effective for reducing postoperative adhesions, but there is no substantial evidence that their use improves fertility, decreases pain, or reduces the incidence of postoperative bowel obstruction. This document replaces the document, ‘‘Pathogenesis, consequences, and control of peritoneal adhesions in gynecologic surgery: a committee opinion,’’ last pub- lished in 2013.
