Incompletesepta, which are folds of the dilated tube, are seen within this fusiform, fluid-filled structure. HYDROSALPINX CASE A. The isthmic portion of the tube is coagulated and cut close to the uterus B. While the tube is under traction, the mesosalpinx is coagulated and cut. C. Sharpscissors (inset) or the ultra-pulse CO2 laser are used for cutting. D. The Endoloop is passed around the tube & the mesosalpinx is ligated with one suture. E. The mesosalpinx is cut above the tube. An adequate stump remains to prevent the ligature from slipping HYDROSALPINX CASE (A) Salpingectomy is achieved with an automatic stapling device. The first application of thestapling device is to the proximal portion of the tube across the mesosalpinx. The tube is under traction. (B) The second application completes the salpingectomy (inset). A view of the mesosalpinx after the tube has been removed. HYDROSALPINX CASE Step by Step (DISTAL TO PROXIMAL APPROACH) 1. Grasp the fimbriated or distal end and elevate it toward the anterior abdominal wall. This provides the most separation from the ovary to delineate the mesosalpinx. 2. Use the Harmonic scalpel or scissor to ligate/cut as close as possible to the tubal lumen 3. Continue medially, staying as close to the body of the tube as possible 4. Continue all the way to the cornua of the uterus, where the tube is then transected HYDROSALPINX CASE 1. Elevating distal portion of tube to transect 3. Transecting tube at uterine cornua. mesosalpinx. 2. Transecting mesosalpinx in a proximal direction, staying close to body of the tube. HYDROSALPINX CASE Step by Step (PROXIMAL TO DISTAL APPROACH) 1. In cases where the distal end is significantly damaged or scarred, it may be easier to approach the salpingectomy from proximal to distal. 2. Transect the tube near the cornua, then grasp and elevate the transected tube. Care should be taken as the mesosalpinx can be fragile and tear easily while elevating the tube, leading to bleeding 3. Dissect laterally along the tube, staying as close to the body of the tube as possible 4. As the ampulla is neared, regrasping and elevating at that point can provide more directed traction. Traction on the tube medially can assist in keeping the area of dissection away from ovarian vessels 5. Take care in the last 1 to 2 cm of the tube, as the mesosalpinx can merge with the IP ligament, particularly if the tube is scarred close to the ovary. Damage of ovarian vessels at this point can result in bleeding that is difficult to control without sacrificing the ovarian blood flow. HYDROSALPINX CASE Step by Step (PROXIMAL TO DISTAL APPROACH) 6. After the tube is removed, the mesosalpinx should be observed for bleeding. This can often be venous oozing, so lowering the intra- abdominal pressure can help tovisualize this. 7. Use pinpoint cautery either with monopolar or bipolar forceps to obtain full hemostasis. 8. In some settings, the distal aspect of the tube can be involved in dense adhesions to the ovary, bowel, uterus, or pelvic sidewall. Clearly finding a plane between the tube and other organs may be difficult to discern. 9. In these cases, use a medial to lateral approach to remove as much of the tube as possible. Open the remaining distal portion of the tube lengthwise, exposing the lumen. Excise the majority of the tubal structure that can be identified, leaving a small portion remaining. HYDROSALPINX CASE 1. Transecting tube at cornua for a proximal to 3. Traction medially on tube helps to clarify distal approach distal mesosalpinx and keep dissection away from ovarian vessels. 2. Elevating tube and transecting mesosalpinx close along body of tube. PEARLS AND PITFALLS Excise the complete tube, do not leave a proximal or distal segment Keep the dissection plane as close to the tube as possible to limit ovarian collateral vessel damage Care should be taken to avoid the ovarian vessels at the distal end of the tube where the mesosalpinx join the Ip ligament REFERENCE muon Ilmiah Berkolo IV ertilitas Endoktrin Reproduksi Indonesia Timur dr.

Abstract Although laparoscopic surgery or robotic surgery has recently been the main proce- dure adopted for managing benign uterine tumors, abdominal total hysterectomy must still be learned as a basic surgical skill for obstetricians and gynecologists. Total hysterectomy is divided into two types: the extrafascial and intrafascial approaches. Intrafascial hysterectomy, represented by the Aldridge’s method, is a useful and safe procedure for treatment when the patient has no cervical malignancy, including cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Furthermore, the intrafascial approach is safely performedeveninpatientswithfirm adhesion in the Douglas’s pouch and/or around the uterine cervix due to endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory diseases, or a history of intrapelvic surgery.

  • REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Vasco Dominic
    REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Vasco Dominic ORGANISATION Reproductive organs which produce gametes and hormones. Reproductive tract consisting of ducts, store and transport gametes. Accessory glands and organs that secrete fluids into the ducts of the reproductive system or into other secretory ducts. Perineal structures associated with the reproductive system, collectively known as external genitalia. The male and female systems are functionally different. In the male the gonads are the testes that secrete androgens, principally testosterone and produce a half billion sperms per day. After storage the sperm travel along a lengthy duct and mixed with secretions of the glands to form semen. In the female the gonads are the ovaries which produce only one mature gamete per month. The oocyte travels via a short duct into the muscular uterus. THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM TESTES Each has the shape of a flattened egg rougly 5cm long, 3cm wide and 2.5 cms thick and weighs 10-15 gms. They hang within the scrotum. During development the testes form inside the body cavity adjacent to the kidneys. As the foetus grows they move inferiorly and anteriorly towards the anterior abdominal wall. The gubernaculum testis is a cord of connective tissue and muscle fibers that extend from the inferior part of each testis to the posterior wall of a small, inferior pocket of the peritoneum. As growth proceeds the gubernacula do not elongate and the testes are held in position. During the seventh developmental month: growth continues at a rapid pace, circulating hormones stimulate contraction of the gubernaculum testis. Over this period the testes move through the abdominal musculature accompanied by small pockets of the peritoneal cavity.

  • Uterine and Ovarian Countercurrentpathways in The Control of Ovarian Function in the Pig
    Printed in Great Britain J. Reprod. Pert., Suppl. 40 (1990), 179-191 ©1990 Journals of Reproduction & Fertility Ltd Uterine and ovarian countercurrentpathways in the control of ovarian function in the pig T. Krzymowski, J. Kotwica and S. Stefanczyk-Krzymowska Department of Reproductive Endocrinology, Centre for Agrotechnology and Veterinary Sciences, 10-718 Olsztyn, Poland Keywords: counter current transfer; ovary; oviduct; uterus; pig Introduction Countercurrent transfer of heat, respiratory gases, minerals and metabolites has been known for many years to be a fundamental regulatory mechanism of some physiological processes. In sea mammals, wading birds and fishes living in polar seas countercurrent systems in the limbs, flippers or tail vessels protect the organism against heat loss (Schmidt-Nielsen, 1981). In most mammals countercurrent heat exchange between the arteries supplying the brain and veins carrying the blood away from the nasal area and head skin forms the so-called brain cooling system, which protects the brain against overheating (Baker, 1979). The countercurrent transfer of minerals and metab- olites in the kidney is a well-known system regulating the osmolarity and concentration of urine (Lassen & Longley, 1961). Countercurrent transfers in the blood vessels of the intestinal villi take part in the absorption processes (Lundgren, 1967). The pampiniform plexus in the boar partici- pates in a heat-exchange countercurrent, thus decreasing the temperature of the testes (Waites & Moule, 1961), as well as in local transfer of testosterone (Free et al., 1973; Ginther et al., 1974; Einer-Jensen & Waites, 1977). Studies on the influence of hysterectomy on the function of the corpus luteum in different species, made in the 1930-1970s, suggested the existence of a local transfer of a luteolytic substance from the uterus to the ovary.

  • Unit 4 Lecture 12
    Unit 4 Lecture 12 Unit 4 Lecture 12 THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Reproduction is the process by which a species continues to survive. Genetic material is passed from one generation to the next through sexual reproduction. Offspring have a combination of genes from both patents. The primary reproductive organs are called gonads because they produce gametes (sperm cells in the male and ova in the female). Gonads also produce hormones. In addition to the primary sex organs are the secondary sex organs which transport, store the gametes, and accessory glands that produce materials that support the gametes. Male Reproductive System The function of the male reproductive system is to produce the sex steroid testosterone, to produce sperm (process is called spermatogenesis), and to deliver sperm to the female vagina. The testes (testicles) are a pair of oval glands located in the scrotum and are divided into 200-300 compartments called lobules by the tunica albuginea. Each tubule contains 1-3 seminiferous tubules. The seminiferous tubules produce: sperm cells, sustentacular (Sertoli) cells that support, protect, and nourish sperm cells and secrete inhibin (a hormone that helps regulate sperm production by inhibiting FSH), and Interstitial cells (cells of Leydig) which secrete testosterone. Spermatogenesis is an ongoing process by which sperm are made and the chromosome number is reduced to (n) or the haploid number of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. Twenty-two pairs are homologous and are called autosomes. One pair (XY) is called the sex chromosomes and this chromosome determines the sex of the individual. Any individual having a Y chromosome is considered male.
