  • Laparoscopic Extraperitoneal Salpingo-Oophorectomy in Women with Suspicious Ovarian Mass, a Way to Reduce the Risk of Spillage
    5 Surgical Technique Page 1 of 5 Laparoscopic extraperitoneal salpingo-oophorectomy in women with suspicious ovarian mass, a way to reduce the risk of spillage Giulio Sozzi, Giulia Zaccaria, Mariano Catello Di Donna, Giuseppina Lo Balbo, Stefania Cannarozzo, Vito Chiantera Department of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Palermo, Piazza Nicola Leotta, Palermo, Italy Correspondence to: Giulio Sozzi, MD. 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.

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

More than half of the patients who present with clinical signs such as abdominal bloating and a feeling of fullness already show advanced stages. The majority of ovarian cancers grow as cystic masses, and cancer cells easily spread into the pelvic cavity once the cysts rupture or leak. When the ovarian cancer cells disseminate into the peritoneal cavity, metastatic nests may grow in the cul-de-sac, and in more advanced stages, the peritoneal surfaces of the upper abdomen become the next largest soil for cancer progression. Ascites is also produced frequently in ovarian cancers, which facilitates distant metastasis. Clinicopathologic, epidemiologic and molecular studies on ovarian cancers have improved our understanding and therapeutic approaches, but still further efforts are required to reduce the risks in the patients who are predisposed to this lethal disease and the mortality of the patients in advanced stages. Among various molecules involved in ovarian carcinogenesis, special genes such as TP53, BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been well investigated. These genes are widely accepted as the predisposing factors that trigger malignant transformation of the epithelial cells of the ovary.

The Sry gene encodes for a protein called testes- determining factor (TDF). 1. As the indifferent gonad develops into the testes, Leydig cells and Sertoli cells differentiate to produce Testosterone and Mullerian-inhibiting factor (MIF), respectively. 3. In the presence of TDF, testosterone, and MIF, the indifferent embryo will be directed to a male phenotype.

PhD, Associate Professor • Congenital malformations of the female genital tract are defined as deviations from normal anatomy resulting from embryological maldevelopment of the Mullerian or paramesonephric ducts. • They represent a rather common benign condition with a prevalence of 4–7% • Müllerian malformations are frequently associated with abnormalities of the renal and axial skeletal systems Grimbizis et al., 2001; Saravelos et al., 2008; Chan et al., 2011a Early embryo development • Until 8 weeks' gestation, the human fetus is undifferentiated sexually and contains both male (wolffian) and female (müllerian) genital ducts. • Wolffian structures (in the male fetus) differentiate into the vas deferens, epididymis, and seminal vesicles. Wolffian (mesonephric) duct • In the female fetus, with the absence of testosterone secretion, the Wolffian duct regresses, but inclusions may persist. • The epoophoron and Skene's glands may be present. • Also, lateral to the wall of the vagina a Gartner's duct or cyst could develop as a remnant. Speroff L. et al., 2005 Müllerian (paramesonephric) ducts • Paired ducts of the embryo that run down the lateral sides of the urogenital ridge and terminate at the sinus tubercle in the primitive urogenital sinus. • In the female, without the influence of AMH, they will develop to form the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and the upper one-third of the vagina. • In the absence of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, the genital tubercle develops into the clitoris, and the labioscrotal folds do not fuse, leaving labia minora and majora.

Uterine Tubes • Also called Fallopian Tubes or Oviducts • Open-ended, muscular tube lined with secretory cells and ciliated cells that sweep secretions and peritoneal fluid towards the uterus. • Uterine Tube Regions: – narrow isthmus near the uterus – middle portion is the ampulla – flared distally into infundibulum with fimbriae • Fertilization usually occurs in ampulla or isthmus Epithelium lining the uterine tube consists of ciliated cells, goblet cells and other secretory cells. Cilia move peritoneal fluid and uterine tube secretions towards the uterus. Cervix and Vagina normally have a stratified squamous epithelium Test developed by Dr. G.N.
