  • Minimally Invasive Surgery for Uterine Fibroids
    Ginekologia Polska 2020, vol. 91, no. 3, 149–157 Copyright © 2020 Via Medica REVIEW PAPER / GYNECOLOGY ISSN 0017–0011 DOI: 10.5603/GP.2020.0032 Minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids Yuehan Wang1 , Shitai Zhang1 , Chenyang Li2 , Bo Li1 , Ling Ouyang1 1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China 2Shenyang Maternity and Child Health Hospital, Shenyang, China ABSTRACT The incidence of uterine fibroids, which comprise one of the most common female pelvic tumors, is almost 70–75% for women of reproductive age. With the development of surgical techniques and skills, more individuals prefer minimally invasive methods to treat uterine fibroids. There is no doubt that minimally invasive surgery has broad use for uterine fibroids. Since laparoscopic myomectomy was first performed in 1979, more methods have been used for uterine fibroids, such as laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic radiofrequency volumetric thermal ablation, and uterine artery emboliza- tion, and each has many variations. In this review, we compared these methods of minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids, analyzed their benefits and drawbacks, and discussed their future development. Key words: minimally invasive surgery; uterine fibroid; laparoscopic hysterectomy; laparoscopic myomectomy Ginekologia Polska 2020; 91, 3: 149–157 INTRODUCTION fibroids. They found that those two kinds of surgery did Uterine fibroids comprise one of the most common not have different recurrence risks, but that laparoscopic female pelvic tumors. When including the small, clinically myomectomy may be associated with less postoperative undetectable fibroids and microscopic fibroids, the incidence pain, lower postoperative fever, and shorter hospital stays is approximately 70–75% for those of reproductive age.

Uterine myomas are the most common benign growths affecting female reproductive system, occurring in 20–40% of women, whereas the incidence rate in pregnancy is estimated from 0.1 to 3.9%. The lower incidence in pregnancy is due to the association with infertility and low pregnancy rates and implantation rates after in vitro fertilization treatment. Uterine myomas, usually, are asymptomatic during pregnancy. However, occasionally, pedunculated fibroids torsion or other superimposed complications may cause acute abdominal pain. There are many controversies in performing myomectomy during cesarean section because of the risk of hemorrhage.

Author(s): Read, S; Mullins, J Source: Case reports in obstetrics and gynecology; 2018; vol. 2018 ; p. 1026287 Publication Date: 2018 Publication Type(s): Journal Article PubMedID: 30057837 Available at Case reports in obstetrics and gynecology - from Europe PubMed Central - Open Access Abstract:IntroductionPyomyoma, or suppurative leiomyoma, is a rare complication of uterine fibroids. It occurs most commonly in the setting of pregnancy, the immediate postpartum period, or postmenopausal status. It may also arise after recent uterine instrumentation, after uterine artery embolization, or in immunocompromised patients. The most likely cause of pyomyoma is vascular compromise followed by bacterial seeding from direct, hematogenous, or lymphatic spread. Diagnosis is difficult, as the condition is rare, presents with vague symptoms, and is difficult to identify on imaging. Definitive diagnosis is only possible with surgery. Pathology shows a degenerating fibroid with hemorrhage, necrosis, cystic degeneration, and/or inflammatory change. Cultures of the pus contained within often show polymicrobial infection.Case PresentationOur patient is a 24-year-old nulligravid female who presented with a surgical abdomen, fever, hypotension, and leukocytosis. She had no significant prior medical or surgical history, no history of uterine instrumentation, and no history of pelvic infection; she was not currently sexually active at the time of presentation.

Our case adds clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical features. Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of LANT. Material and Method: One case of LANT of the myometrium was reported in a review of literature. The morphological and immunohistochemical features were analyzed. Results: In the course of an annual health examination of a 40-year-old woman, ultrasound results revealed a mass in the myometrium, which was clinically diagnosed as uterine leiomyoma. The patient underwent hysterectomy. Histological examination demonstrated that the tumor was composed of prominent vasculature and cellular stromal around vessels. Mitotic activity was absent. Both vascular and stromal cells showed diffusely expressed CD56 and chromogranin A. Stromal cells also expressed actin, SMA, and desmin, but not CK or HMB45. The pathological diagnosis was LANT of the myometrium. Follow up reported no evidence of recurrence three months after surgery. Conclusion: LANT is a possible new disease entity. LANT is a dimorphic tumor consisting of smooth muscle and neurosecretory phenotype cells surrounding intratumoral vessels. Surgery may be the best treatment, resulting in good prognosis. Keywords: Immunohistochemistry, neuroendocrine neoplasm, pathology, uterus In a recent inspection, a case of uterine muscle leiomyoma, and uterine myomectomy was performed.

  • Role of Robot-Assisted Pelvic Surgery
    Review Special Issue: Update on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms TheScientificWorldJOURNAL (2009) 9, 479–489 TSW Urology ISSN 1537-744X; DOI 10.1100/tsw.2009.54 Role of Robot-Assisted Pelvic Surgery Iqbal Singh and Ashok K. Hemal* Department of Urology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, Medical Center Boulevard, Winston- Salem, NC E-mail : [email protected] Received July 23, 2008; Revised January 30, 2009; Accepted May 17, 2009; Published June 12, 2009 The purpose of this study was to assess the current role of robot-assisted urological surgery in the female pelvis. The recently published English literature was reviewed to evaluate this role, with special emphasis on reconstructive procedures. These included colposuspension for genuine female stress urinary incontinence, repair of female genitourinary fistulas, ureterosciatic hernias, sacrocolpopexy for vault prolapse, ureterolysis and omental wrap for retroperitoneal fibrosis, ureteric reimplantation, and bladder surgery. To date, a wide spectrum of urogynecological reconstructive procedures have been performed with the assistance of the surgical robot and have been reported worldwide. Currently, a number of female pelvic ablative and reconstructive procedures are technically feasible with the aid of the surgical robot. While the role of robot-assisted surgery for bladder cancer, ureterolysis, ureteric reimplantation, repair of genitourinary fistulas, colposuspension, and sacrocolpopexy is nearly established among urologists, other procedures, such as myomectomy, simple hysterectomy, trachelectomy, and Wertheim's hysterectomy, are still evolving with gynecologists. The advantages of robot assistance include better hand-eye coordination, three-dimensional magnified stereoscopic vision with depth perception, intuitive movements with increased precision, and filtering of hand tremors.

  • Hysteroscopic Morcellation of Uterine Leiomyomas (Fibroids)
    IP 1056/2 [IPG522] NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES PROGRAMME Interventional procedure overview of hysteroscopic morcellation of uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are non-cancerous (benign) growths that occur in the womb and can be associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, and with problems becoming pregnant and during pregnancy. Hysteroscopic morcellation is performed with anaesthesia. A special instrument is passed through the vagina and through the neck of the uterus to cut the leiomyoma into small pieces (morcellation), which are then removed by suction. 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 July 2014. Procedure name Hysteroscopic morcellation of uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) Specialist societies Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy. IP overview: hysteroscopic morcellation of uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) Page 1 of 26 IP 1056/2 [IPG522] Description Indications and current treatment Uterine leiomyomas (also known as uterine myomas or fibroids) are benign tumours that develop within the uterine wall. They can be single or multiple. They are one of the most common gynaecological problems among women in the UK. They are often asymptomatic but they can cause symptoms such as menorrhagia, intermenstrual bleeding, a feeling of pelvic pressure, pain, and urinary incontinence.
