Prognosis analysis of radical or modified radical hysterectomy and simple hysterectomy in patients with stage Ⅱ endometrial cancer / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective: To compare the prognosis and perioperative situation of patients with stage Ⅱ endometrial cancer (EC) between radical hysterectomy/modified radical hysterectomy (RH/mRH) and simple hysterectomy (SH). Methods: A total of 47 patients diagnosed EC with stage Ⅱ [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009] by postoperative pathology, from January 2006 to January 2021 in Peking University People's Hospital, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were (54.4±10.7) years old, and the median follow-up time was 65 months (ranged 9-138 months). They were divided into RH/mRH group (n=14) and SH group (n=33) according to the scope of operation. Then the prognosis of patients between the groups were compared, and the independent prognostic factors of stage Ⅱ EC were explored. Results: (1) The proportions of patients with hypertension in RH/mRH group and SH group were 2/14 and 45% (15/33), the amounts of intraoperative blood loss were (702±392) and (438±298) ml, and the incidence of postoperative complications were 7/14 and 15% (5/33), respectively. There were significant differences (all P<0.05). (2) The median follow-up time of RH/mRH group and SH group were 72 vs 62 months, respectively (P=0.515). According to Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank method, the results showed that there were no significant difference in 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate (94.3% vs 84.0%; P=0.501), and 5-year overall survival rate (92.3% vs 92.9%; P=0.957) between the two groups. Cox survival analysis indicated that age, pathological type, serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125), and estrogen receptor (ER) status were associated with 5-year PFS rate (all P<0.05). But the scope of hysterectomy (RH/mRH and SH) did not affect the 5-year PFS rate of stage Ⅱ EC patients (P=0.508). And level of serum CA125 and ER status were independent prognostic factors for 5-year PFS rate (all P<0.05). Conclusions: This study could not find any survival benefit from RH/mRH for stage Ⅱ EC, but increases the incidence of postoperative complications. Therefore, the necessity of extending the scope of hysterectomy is questionable.

Serum estradiol levels decrease after oophorectomy in transmasculine individuals on testosterone therapy / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Transmasculine individuals, considering whether to undergo total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy, have the option to have a concomitant oophorectomy. While studies have evaluated hormone changes following testosterone therapy initiation, most of those patients have not undergone oophorectomy. Data are currently limited to support health outcomes regarding the decision to retain or remove the ovaries. We performed a retrospective chart review of transmasculine patients maintained on high-dose testosterone therapy at a single endocrine clinic in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Twelve transmasculine individuals who underwent bilateral oophorectomy and had presurgical and postsurgical serum data were included. We identified 12 transmasculine subjects as controls, who were on testosterone therapy and did not undergo oophorectomy, but additionally matched to the first group by age, testosterone dosing regimen, and body mass index. There was a statistically significant decrease in the estradiol levels of case subjects postoophorectomy, when compared to presurgical estradiol levels (P = 0.02). There was no significant difference between baseline estradiol levels between control and case subjects; however, the difference in estradiol levels at follow-up measurements was significant (P = 0.03). Total testosterone levels did not differ between control and case subjects at baseline and follow-up (both P > 0.05). Our results demonstrate that oophorectomy further attenuates estradiol levels below what is achieved by high-dose exogenous testosterone alone. Correlated clinical outcomes, such as impacts on bone health, were not available. The clinical implications of oophorectomy versus ovarian retention on endocrinological and overall health outcomes are currently limited.

¿Cómo decidir el abordaje más adecuado para realizar una histerectomía por patología benigna? revisión bibliográfica / How to select the surgical route of hysterectomy for benign pathology? literature review

La histerectomía es uno de los principales procedimientos quirúrgicos en ginecología. Se calcula que en EE.UU. se realizan unas 500,000 anualmente y que una de cada nueve mujeres a lo largo de su vida se realizará dicha intervención. Los distintos abordajes (abdominal, vaginal, laparoscópico y robótico) presentan diferencias respecto al tiempo quirúrgico, complicaciones, dolor postoperatorio, estancia hospitalaria y gasto sanitario. Factores como el tamaño uterino, la accesibilidad vaginal, la historia de cirugías pélvicas previas, la existencia de patología extrauterina o la experiencia del cirujano influyen a la hora de decidir la vía de abordaje. Revisar la evidencia disponible respecto a la vía de elección de la histerectomía por patología benigna y cómo decidir el abordaje más adecuado para cada paciente. Búsqueda bibliográfica de literatura en las bases de datos PubMed, Medline, Embase, BioMed Central y SciELO. La vía vaginal es el abordaje de elección para realizar una histerectomía dada su menor invasividad, menor tiempo de recuperación y menor tasa de complicaciones. La generalización del uso de algoritmos para la elección de la vía de abordaje incrementaría la tasa de acceso vaginal y asociaría con ello una disminución del gasto sanitario.

Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in gynecology. It is calculated that over 500,000 hysterectomies are performed in the USA per year and that 1 out of 9 women will undergo this surgery in their lifetime. Diverse surgical approaches are possible (abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic and robotic) with differences in operative time, complication rates, postoperative pain, hospital stay, and health care cost. Factors such as uterus size, vaginal access, prior pelvic surgery, extrauterine pathology and surgeon experience may influence the route selection. To collect the current evidence regarding the preferred route in hysterectomy for benign pathology and how to select the adequate approach for every patient. Bibliographic literature search through the PubMed, Medline, Embase, BioMed Central and SciELO databases. Vaginal hysterectomy is the preferred approach in benign indications. It is less invasive, and it shows shorter operative time, shorter recovery time and less complications. The use of decision algorithms to select the hysterectomy route may increase the vaginal approach and decrease health care costs.

Manejo con cirugía conservadora de tumor mucinoso infiltrante ovárico coexistente con tumor mucinoso borderline contralateral en gestante de 8 semanas / Conservative surgery for management of invasive mucinous ovarian tumor with concurrent borderline mucinous tumor on contralateral ovary in a woman in 8th week of pregnancy

INTRODUCCIÓN: Aproximadamente un 4% de mujeres embarazadas presentan tumoraciones anexiales en el primer trimestre de gestación, siendo la mayoría quistes anexiales simples. Solo el 1,5% persisten tras el primer trimestre y en torno al 0,9% son malignos. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 31 años que consultó en urgencias por sangrado y amenorrea de 5 semanas. La ecografía transvaginal evidenció un saco gestacional intraútero y una tumoración anexial izquierda compleja de 68 mm, multilocular, sólida, de ecogenicidad mixta, con septos gruesos y un área sólida vascularizada de 40 mm, sospechosa de neoplasia de ovario. Se realizó manejo quirúrgico conservador mediante anexectomía bilateral laparoscópica en la octava semana de gestación. El diagnóstico fue de adenocarcinoma mucinoso infiltrante bien diferenciado en ovario derecho, coexistente con tumor mucinoso borderline en ovario izquierdo (etapa IC FIGO). El embarazo cursó con normalidad, a excepción de feto pequeño para la edad gestacional en la semana 39. Se finalizó la gestación en la semana 40 mediante parto vaginal. Debido al deseo de la paciente, la cirugía se realizó en el primer trimestre de embarazo en lugar de en el segundo como se recomienda. La cirugía se completó meses después del parto, con histerectomía y apendicectomía laparoscópica. DISCUSIÓN: El cáncer de ovario es el segundo tumor ginecológico más diagnosticado durante el embarazo. Suele diagnosticarse en el primer trimestre debido al cribado ecográfico gestacional. Ocurre en mujeres con baja paridad y en sus últimos años de edad reproductiva. Esto podría verse reflejado en un aumento de su incidencia debido al retraso de la edad materna al primer embarazo. Normalmente se diagnostica en etapa I, siendo entonces la supervivencia superior al 90% a los 5 años. En etapas iniciales en mujeres embarazadas, la laparoscopia es tan válida como la laparotomía.

INTRODUCTION: Approximately 4% of pregnant women present adnexal tumors in the first trimester of gestation, the majority being simple adnexal cysts. Only 1.5% persist after the first trimester and around 0.9% are malignant. CASE REPORT: 31-year-old patient who came to the emergency room because of spotting and 5-week amenorrhea. A transvaginal ultrasound revealed an intrauterine gestational sac and a 69 mm complex multiocular-solid left adnexal tumor, with thick septa and a solid vascularized area of 40 mm, with suspicion of ovarian neoplasia. Conservative surgical management was performed through laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in eighth week of gestation. The diagnosis was a well-differentiated infiltrating mucinous adenocarcinoma in the right ovary, and a coexisting borderline mucinous tumor in the left ovary (FIGO stage IC). The pregnancy proceeded normally except for a small for gestational age fetus at week 39 and pregnancy was completed at week 40 by vaginal delivery. Due to the patients wishes, the surgery was performed in the 1st trimester of pregnancy instead in the 2nd as is recommended. Final surgery was completed after giving birth, with laparoscopic hysterectomy and appendectomy. DISCUSSION: Ovarian cancer is the second most diagnosed gynecological tumor during pregnancy. It is usually diagnosed during the first trimester with gestational ultrasound screening. It occurs in women with low parity and in their later years of reproductive age. This could be reflected in an increase in its incidence due to the delay in the age of first pregnancy. Normally it is diagnosed in stage I, when the survival rate is superior to 90% after 5 years. In early stages, laparoscopic surgery in pregnant women is as valid as laparotomy.

Efficacy of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in the Reduction of Pain and Opioid Requirement in Laparoscopic and Robot-assisted Hysterectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis / Eficácia do bloqueio transverso do plano abdominal na redução da dor e da necessidade de opioides em histerectomia laparoscópica e assistida por robô: Uma revisão sistemática e metanálise

Abstract Objective To summarize the available evidence of TAP Block in efficacy in laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy. Data Sources We searched databases and gray literature for randomized controlled trials in which transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block was compared with placebo or with no treatment in patients who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted hysterectomy. Method of Study Selection Two researchers independently evaluated the eligibility of the selected articles. Tabulation, Integration, and Results Seven studies were selected, involving 518 patients. Early postoperative pain showed a difference in the mean mean difference (MD): - 1.17 (95% confidence interval [CI]: - 1.87-0.46) in pain scale scores (I2=68%), which was statistically significant in favor of using TAP block, but without clinical relevance; late postoperative pain: DM 0.001 (95%CI: - 0.43-0.44; I2=69%); opioid requirement: DM 0.36 (95%CI: - 0.94-1.68; I2=80%); and incidence of nausea and vomiting with a difference of 95%CI=- 0.11 (- 0.215-0.006) in favor of TAP. Conclusion With moderate strength of evidence, due to the high heterogeneity and imbalance in baseline characteristics among studies, the results indicate that TAP block should not be considered as a clinically relevant analgesic technique to improve postoperative pain in laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy, despite statistical significance in early postoperative pain scale scores. Clinical Trial Number and Registry: PROSPERO ID - CRD42018103573.

Resumo Objetivo Resumir as evidências disponíveis sobre a eficácia do bloqueio TAP em histerectomia laparoscópica ou robótica. Fontes de Dados Pesquisamos bancos de dados e literatura cinza por ensaios clínicos randomizados nos quais o bloqueio do plano transverso do abdome (TAP na sigla em inglês) foi comparado com placebo ou com nenhum tratamento em pacientes que foram submetidos a histerectomia laparoscópica ou assistida por robô. Métodos de Seleção de Estudos Dois pesquisadores avaliaram independentemente a elegibilidade dos artigos selecionados. Tabulação, Integração e Resultados Sete estudos foram selecionados envolvendo 518 pacientes. A dor pós-operatória precoce apresentou diferença nasmédias (DM) de: -1 17 (intervalo de confiança [IC] de 95%: - 1 87-0 46) nos escores da escala de dor (I2=68%) o que foi estatisticamente significativo a favor do uso do bloqueio TAP mas sem relevância clínica; dor pós-operatória tardia: DM 0001 (IC95%: - 043-044; I2=69%); necessidade de opioides: DM0 36 (95%CI: - 0 94-168; I2=80%); e incidência de náuseas e vômitos com diferença de 95% CI=- 011 (- 0215-0006) a favor do TAP. Conclusão Com moderada força de evidência devido à alta heterogeneidade e ao desequilíbrio nas características basais entre os estudos os resultados indicam que o bloqueio do TAP não deve ser considerado como uma técnica analgésica clinicamente relevante para melhorar a dor pós-operatória em histerectomia laparoscópica ou robótica apesar da significância estatística nas pontuações da escala de dor pósoperatória inicial. Número e Registro do Ensaio Clínico: PROSPERO ID - CRD42018103573.

Histerectomia radical após parto cesáreo por adenocarcinoma de colo uterino: relato de caso / Radical hysterectomy after c-section in cervical adenocarcinoma: a case report

Mundialmente, o câncer de colo uterino ocupa o quarto lugar das neoplasias em mulheres, porém, nos países em desenvolvimento, as taxas de incidência superam de forma impactante os casos de países desenvolvidos. Apesar de ser um evento incomum durante a gestação, é cada vez mais observado, o que talvez possa ser atribuído às gestações programadas em idades mais avançadas. O caso descrito refere-se a uma paciente de 32 anos de idade, diagnosticada no terceiro trimestre da gestação com adenocarcinoma de origem endocervical com estadiamento anatomopatológico final (FIGO 2018) 1B2. Ela foi submetida à abordagem cirúrgica como tratamento inicial. Foi adotada como conduta a resolução da gestação, com boa vitalidade fetal, ao final da 34ª semana, após corticoterapia para maturação pulmonar fetal. Foi realizado parto cesariano seguido de histerectomia radical tipo C1 na classificação de Querleu e Morrow associado a linfadenectomia pélvica, no mesmo ato operatório.(AU)

Worldwide, cervical cancer ranks fourth in female cancers, but when assessing data from developing countries, incidence rates are significantly higher than in developed countries. Although it is an uncommon event during pregnancy, it is increasingly observed, which may perhaps be justified due to pregnancies postponed at older ages. The case described relates to a 32-year-old woman diagnosed in the third trimester of pregnancy with endocervical adenocarcinoma, whose final anatomopathological staging (FIGO 2018) was IB2. The same was submitted to the surgical approach as an initial treatment. It was adopted as a conduct, the resolution of pregnancy, with good fetal viability, at the end of the 34th week, after corticosteroid therapy for fetal lung maturation. The patient underwent cesarean section followed by radical type C1 hysterectomy in the classification of Querleu and Morrow associated with pelvic lymphadenectomy in the same surgery.(AU)

Hematometra y hematocervix en paciente postmenopáusica: reporte de caso / Hematometry and hematocervix in postmenopausal patient: case repor

El hematometra es la retención de sangre en el útero y comúnmente se presenta en mujeres jóvenes con anomalías mullerianas pero puede aparecer también en mujeres postmenopausicas por causas secundarias como traumas, tumores, terapia de remplazo hormonal, estenosis cervical, entre otras. En esta presentación de caso interesante se describe una mujer postmenopáusica bajo terapia de remplazo hormonal. Dicha mujer inicia con hemorragia uterina anormal por lo que se le realiza ultrasonido evidenciando hematómetra y hematocervix. Como método diagnóstico y terapéutico de la hemorragia postmenopáusica se le realiza histerectomía abdominal en la cual la patología evidencia leiomiomatosis uterina con endometrio secretor

Hematometra is the retention of blood in the uterus and commonly occurs in young women with Mullerian abnormalities but can also appear in postmenopausal women due to secondary causes such as trauma, tumors, hormone replacement therapy, cervical stenosis, among others. In this presentation an interesting case is described a postmenopausal woman under hormone replacement therapy. She said woman began with abnormal uterine bleeding, so an ultrasound was performed showing hematometer and hematocervix. As a method diagnosis and treatment of postmenopausal hemorrhage, abdominal hysterectomy is performed in which the pathology shows uterine leiomyomatosis with secretory endometrium

Caracterización epidemiológica, clínica e histopatológica de los tumores malignos de cérvix en las pacientes sometidas a histerectomía radical tipo Wertheim-Meigs que acuden al servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital General San Juan de Dios, de Guatemala (enero 2017 a diciembre del 2018) / Epidemiological, clinical and histopathological characterization of malignant tumors of the cervix in patients undergoing Wertheim-Meigs radical hysterectomy who attend the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of the San Juan de Dios General Hospital, Guatemala (January 2017 to December 2018)

Los tumores malignos de cérvix continúan siendo un problema de salud pública para nuestro país, es por ello que se consideró de importancia realizar este estudio. Se estudiaron las características clínicas más frecuentes encontradas en las pacientes sometidas dentro de los cuales encontramos como principal motivo de consulta el dolor pélvico con un 86.75%, seguido del sangrado con un 84.34% finalizando con la leucorrea con el 79.52%. En cuanto a la clasificación de los tumores malignos se comprobó que la mayoría de las pacientes presentaron el estadio CaCu IB1 con el 91.57% seguido del CaCu IA1 con el 6.02% finalizando con el CaCu IB2 con el 2.41%. Así mismo, se pudo determinar que los tumores malignos de cérvix más frecuentes en las pacientes estudiadas fue el carcinoma epitelial, seguido del adenocarcinoma de cérvix, siendo su histopatología más encontrada el carcinoma epidermoide no queratinizante de células grandes con el 53.01%. (AU)

Uterine Cervical Cancer continues to be one of the main public health problems in Guatemala, thus being important to do this type of research. The most frequent clinical characteristics found in the present study were pelvic pain (86.75%) followed by bleeding in 84.34% and vaginal discharge in 79.52%. Most of the patients were classified as Stage IB1 (91.57%) followed by Stage IA1(6/02%) and Stage IB2 (2.41%). The most frequent Histologic Type was Squamous Carcinoma. (AU)

Histerectomía total vía abdominal: revisión de la literatura / Total abdominal hysterectomy: a literature review

Hysterectomy is the most common gynecological surgery in non-pregnant women. There are different surgical approaches for total hysterectomy, abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic and robotic routes. The choice is determined by different factors such as uterine size, malformations, surgical risks, skill of the surgeon, expected postoperative quality of life, and monetary costs. The surgical technique is well described in the literature, however, there are certain anatomical and functional considerations that must be known before performing the hysterectomy to avoid complications. The most frequent complications are hemorrhage, infections, thromboembolism, urinary and gastrointestinal tract injuries. Majority can be avoided with an adequate procedure and management of pre-existing comorbidities. (AU)

Mioma en remanente cervical tras histerectomía supracervical laparoscópica, presentación de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Myoma in cervical remnant after laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, case report and literature review

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los leiomiomas uterinos son el tumor pélvico más frecuente en la mujer, derivan de las células musculares lisas del miometrio y pueden localizarse en cualquiera de las porciones uterinas. Se clasifican según su relación con las diferentes capas del útero mediante la clasificación de la FIGO. Pueden ser asintomáticos o producir síntomas como sangrado, problemas reproductivos o dolor por compresión de estructuras vecinas. El tratamiento puede ser médico o quirúrgico, teniendo dentro de este último grupo, la posibilidad de realizar una miomectomía o una histerectomía total o subtotal. La histerectomía subtotal permite mantener el cérvix uterino, de tal forma que la técnica quirúrgica es más sencilla, sin embargo, requiere de la morcelación de la pieza para su extracción; mientras que la histerectomía total elimina el riesgo de recidiva de la patología uterocervical, aunque precisa de una mayor curva de aprendizaje. CASO CLÍNICO: Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 52 años a la que se le realizó una histerectomía supracervical laparoscópica por miomas. Posteriormente, se objetivó la aparición de un nuevo mioma en el remanente cervical, que requirió de una traquelectomía vía vaginal. CONCLUSIÓN: La histerectomía subtotal laparoscópica en úteros con múltiples miomas puede tener como efecto adverso la recidiva miomatosa en el cérvix o la aparición de miomas parasitarios secundarios a la morcelación uterina no estanca. Además, implica continuar con el cribado para la prevención del cáncer de cérvix uterino.

BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomas are the most frequent pelvic tumor in women. They derive from smooth muscle cells of the myometrium and can be in any of the uterine parts. They are classified according to their relationship with the different layers of the uterus by the FIGO classification. Uterine leiomyomas can be asymptomatic or produce symptoms such as compression pain, reproductive problems and metrorrhagia. The treatment can be medical or surgical. Within this last group there is the possibility of performing a myomectomy or a total or subtotal hysterectomy. The subtotal hysterectomy allows the uterine cervix to be maintained and therefore the surgical technique is simpler. However, it requires the morcellation of the piece for its removal. Alternatively, total hysterectomy eliminates the risk of recurrence of uterocervical pathology, but this procedure presents a steeper learning curve. CLINICAL CASE: We present the case of a patient of 52 years who underwent a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for myomas. Subsequently, the appearance of a new myoma in the cervical remnant was observed, which required a vaginal trachelectomy. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy in myomatous uterus can have as an adverse effect myomatous recurrence in the cervix or the appearance of parasitic myomas secondary to non-contained uterine morcellation. In addition, it involves continuing screening for the prevention of cervical cancer.

Cirugía mayor ambulatoria ginecológica en el Hospital San José de Parral / Major outpatient gynecological surgery at the San Jose de Parral Hospital

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate initial results of a ambulatory major surgery program in Gynecology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective, descriptive study of the period March 2018 to June 2019. The interventions included were: surgical sterilizations via vaginal, minilap and laparoscopic, diagnostic laparoscopy, laparoscopic cyst or anexectomy, hysteroscopy, TOT, vaginal plasty, biopsy curettage, polypectomy, extraction of IUD under anesthesia, labiaplasty, and removal of transobsturatrix tape. Quality indicators such as suspension, readmissions and systemic and surgical complications have been analyzed. RESULTS: 136 patients were operated by CMA of which 43 were laparoscopic (31.6%), 55 patients vaginally (40.4%), 34 histeroscopy (25%) and 4 patients by minilap (3%)There were 4 minor and late complications (2.9%) that corresponded to operative wound infection in vaginal plasty and nymphoplasty, a dysfunctional TOT tape that had to be removed in a mediated manner and a PIP post surgical sterilization via vaginal route. CONCLUSIONS: Gynecological ambulatory major surgery is feasible to perform in a hospital of medium complexity with a low percentage of minor complications in this study.

The effect of prophylactic rewarming on postoperative nausea and vomiting among patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy: a prospective randomized clinical study

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication from general anesthesia that impacts on postoperative recovery. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prophylactic rewarming following general anesthesia, so as to decrease the incidence of PONV among patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective randomized clinical study at a hospital in China. METHODS: Sixty-two patients were randomly assigned into two groups. The forced air warming (FAW) group received pre-warmed Ringer's solution with FAW until the end of surgery. The control group received Ringer's solution without FAW. The pre-warmed Ringer's solution was stored in a cabinet set at 40 °C. The FAW tube was placed beside the patient's shoulder with a temperature of 43 °C. RESULTS: Sixty patients completed the study. The FAW group showed significant differences versus the controls regarding temperature. At 6, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively, the incidences of PONV were 53.3%, 6.7% and 3.3% in the FAW group versus 63.3%, 30% and 3.3% in the controls. VAS scores were significantly lower in the FAW group than in the controls at 24 hours (P= 0.035). Forty-item questionnaire total scores in the FAW group were significantly higher than in the controls. The physical independence and pain scores at 24 hours and emotional support and pain scores at 48 hours in the FAW group were higher than in the controls (P < 0.05). There was no difference in hemodynamics or demographics between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic rewarming relieved PONV and improved the quality of postoperative recovery.

Histerectomía videolaparoscópica / Videolaparoscopic Hysterectomy

RESUMEN Introducción: La histerectomía constituye la segunda causa más frecuente de cirugía mayor en la mujer. Tres tipos de histerectomías son usadas en la actualidad: la histerectomía vaginal, la histerectomía abdominal y la histerectomía mínimamente invasiva. Esta última variedad se comenzó a realizar en Matanzas a finales de la pasada década. Objetivo: Evaluar las características clínicas epidemiológicas de las pacientes histerectomizadas por cirugía video laparoscópica. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y prospectivo. El universo lo conformaron todas las pacientes en las que se implementó esta técnica quirúrgica y se tomó como muestra al propio universo, 96 pacientes. Resultados: Predominó la edad comprendida entre 40 y 49 años con 44 pacientes; la raza negra con 51 pacientes; diagnóstico de miomatosis uterina con 87 casos; tiempo quirúrgico de 61-90 min con 57 pacientes y estadía hospitalaria de hasta 24 h en 93 de las pacientes. Se presentaron 3 complicaciones en total y el número de casos convertidos fue 0. Conclusiones: La histerectomía videolaparoscópica es implementada de forma segura y eficaz. Se realizó predominantemente en mujeres mayores de 40 años, con diagnóstico de miomatosis uterina. El tiempo quirúrgico promedio es mayor que el reportado en la literatura. La estadía hospitalaria es de 24 horas como promedio y se reincorporaron a sus actividades habituales rápidamente(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Hysterectomy is the second most frequent type of major surgery among women. Three types of hysterectomy are currently used: vaginal hysterectomy, abdominal hysterectomy, and minimally invasive hysterectomy. This last variety began to be performed in Matanzas at the end of the last decade. Objective: To evaluate the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of patients hysterectomized. Methods: A descriptive and prospective study was carried out. The population was made up of all the patients operated on by this surgical technique. The whole population itself was taken as a sample (96 patients). Results: There was predominance of the age group 40-49 years (44 patients), the black race (51 patients), diagnosis of uterine myomatosis (87 cases), surgical time of 61-90 min (57 patients), and hospital stay of up to 24 hours (93 patients). There were three complications and the number of converted cases was 0. Conclusions: Videolaparoscopic hysterectomy is implemented safely and effectively. It was performed predominantly in women over 40 years of age and diagnosed with uterine myomatosis. Average surgical time is greater than that reported in the scientific literature. Hospital stay is 24 hours as an average. The patients returned to their usual activities quickly(AU)

Papel de la linfadenectomía paraaórtica inframesentérica durante la histerectomía radical en pacientes con cáncer cervical estadio IB1 en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología Bogotá, Colombia / Role of inframesenteric para-aortic lymphadenectomy during radical hysterectomy in patients with IB1 cervical cancer in Instituto Nacional de Cancerología Bogota, Colombia

INTRODUCCIÓN: El cáncer cervical es una patología común en países en vías de desarrollo. La histerectomía radical es el estándar de manejo en estadios tempranos sin deseo de fertilidad. La linfadenectomía paraaórtica como parte del tratamiento quirúrgico es controversial. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la frecuencia de compromiso ganglionar paraaórtico en una serie retrospectiva de pacientes con carcinoma cervical estadio IB1 (clasificación FIGO 2009) llevadas a histerectomía radical mas linfadenectomía pélvica y paraaórtica en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología durante el periodo de enero 1 de 2009 a marzo 31 de 2017. MÉTODOS: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo. Se describieron variables clínicas, operatorias e histopatológicas. Se determinó la frecuencia de compromiso ganglionar a nivel paraaórtico o pélvico, y concurrente. Se realizó análisis univariado en el software estadístico R Project versión 3.6.0. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 88 casos. El promedio de edad fue 44,24 ± 9,99 años. La mediana del número de ganglios pélvicos y paraaórticos resecados fue de 23 (6-68) y 4 (1-25), respectivamente. En el 12,5% de las pacientes se observó compromiso tumoral ganglionar pélvico. No se detectó compromiso metastásico de ganglios paraórticos en ningún caso. Dos pacientes presentaron recaída ganglionar paraaórtica durante el seguimiento, recibiendo tratamiento con quimioterapia y quimiorradioterapia de campo extendido, respectivamente. CONCLUSIÓN: En este estudio no se detectó compromiso paraaórtico en pacientes con cáncer cervical IB1 sometidas a histerectomía radical. Este resultado se debe considerar al ofrecer linfadenectomía paraaórtica en pacientes con ganglios pélvicos aparentemente normales en el acto operatorio y/o en los estudios de imágenes prequirúrgicas.

INTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer is a common pathology in developing countries. Radical hysterectomy is the standard of management in early stages without desire for fertility. Paraaortic lymphadenectomy as part of surgical treatment is controversial. The objective of this study is to determine the frequency of paraaortic lymph node involvement in a retrospective series of patients with stage IB1 cervical carcinoma (FIGO 2009 classification) underwent to radical hysterectomy plus pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia during the period of January 1 2009 to March 31 2017. METHODS: Descriptive, retrospective study. Clinical, operative, and histopathological variables were described. The frequency of paraaortic, pelvic, concurrent lymph node involvement and adjuvant treatment was determined. A univariate analysis of the variables was performed in the R project statistical software version 3.6.0. RESULTS: 88 cases were included. The mean age was 44,24 ± 9,99 years. The median number of resected pelvic and para-aortic nodes was 23 (6-68) and 4 (1-25), respectively. In 12,5 % of the patients, involvement of the pelvic lymph nodes was present. No patient had paraaortic lymph node involvement. Two patients presented para-aortic lymph node relapse during follow-up, receiving treatment with chemotherapy and extended field chemoradiotherapy, respectively. CONCLUSION: In this study, the frequency of paraaortic involvement in patients with cervical cancer IB1 was 0%. This result should be considered when offering paraaortic lymphadenectomy in patients with apparently normal pelvic nodes in presurgical imaging studies and during the procedure.

Função sexual e incontinência urinária por esforço em mulheres submetidas à histerectomia total com ooforectomia bilateral / Función sexual e incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo en mujeres sometidas a histerectomía total con ooforectomía bilateral / Sexual function and stress urinary incontinence in women submitted to total hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o índice de função sexual de mulheres submetidas à histerectomia total com ooforectomia bilateral (HT-OB), a prevalência de incontinência urinária por esforço (IUE) e sua associação com a realização desse procedimento cirúrgico em um hospital de referência em Belém (PA). Foram incluídas 162 mulheres, com vida sexual ativa, alocadas em dois grupos: aquelas que realizaram HT-OB em período superior a 12 meses (n=68), e aquelas que não realizaram (n=94). Utilizou-se o questionário female sexual function index (FSFI) para avaliação da função sexual, e um questionário desenvolvido pelos pesquisadores para coletar dados sociais, econômicos e clínicos, incluindo informações quanto à presença de IUE. O valor de significância foi definido como p<0,05. Houve diferença significativa no índice de função sexual entre o grupo HT-OB e o grupo-controle, com escore geral do FSFI de 23,56 e 28,68, respectivamente (p=0,0001). Os domínios desejo, excitação, lubrificação (p<0,0001), orgasmo (p=0,04), satisfação (p=0,0006) e dor (p=0,015) apresentaram escores inferiores em mulheres histerectomizadas. A prevalência de sintomas de IUE no grupo HT-OB foi de 35,3%, sendo observada associação significativa entre a presença desses sintomas e a realização da histerectomia (p=0,02). Mulheres que realizam HT-OB têm maior risco de disfunção sexual, e este procedimento cirúrgico é associado ao desenvolvimento de IUE.

RESUMEN El presente artículo tuvo el objetivo de evaluar el índice de función sexual de mujeres sometidas a histerectomía total con ooforectomía bilateral (HT-OB), la prevalencia de incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (IUE) y su asociación con la realización de este procedimiento quirúrgico en un hospital de referencia en Belém (Brasil). Se incluyeron a 162 mujeres con vida sexual activa, que fueron divididas en dos grupos: las que se sometieron a HT-OB durante el período superior a 12 meses (n=68) y las que no lo había hecho (n=94). Se les aplicaron el cuestionario female sexual function index (FSFI), para evaluar la función sexual, y un cuestionario desarrollado por investigadores para recopilar datos sociales, económicos y clínicos, con informaciones en cuanto a la presencia de IUE. El valor de significación fue de p<0,05. Hubo una diferencia significativa en el índice de función sexual entre el grupo HT-OB y el grupo control, con un puntaje general de FSFI de 23,56 y 28,68, respectivamente (p=0,0001). Los dominios deseo, excitación, lubricación (p<0,0001), orgasmo (p=0,04), satisfacción (p=0,0006) y dolor (p=0,015) tuvieron puntajes más bajos en mujeres histerectomizadas. La prevalencia de síntomas de IUE fue del 35,3% en el grupo HT-OB, además se observó una asociación significativa entre la presencia de estos síntomas y la realización de la histerectomía (p=0,02). Las mujeres que se someten a HT-OB tienen un mayor riesgo de disfunción sexual, y este procedimiento quirúrgico está asociado al desarrollo de IUE.

ABSTRACT The objective of this article was to evaluate the sexual function index of women submitted to total hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy (THBO), the prevalence of urinary incontinence (SUI) and its association with the performance of this surgical procedure in a reference hospital in Belém, Pará. One hundred sixty-two women with active sexual life were included in two groups: those who have undergone THBO for more than 12 months (n=68), and those who have not (n=94). The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was used to evaluate sexual function along with a questionnaire developed by the researchers to collect social, economic and clinical data, including information on the presence of SUI. The significance level was defined as p<0.05. There was a significant difference in the sexual function index between THBO group and the control group, with an FSFI overall score of 23.56 and 28.68, respectively (p=0.0001). Desire, arousal, lubrication (p<0.0001), orgasm (p=0.04), satisfaction (p=0.0006) and pain (p=0.015) domains had lower scores in hysterectomized women. The prevalence of SUI symptoms in THBO group was 35.3%, and a significant association was observed between the presence of SUI and hysterectomy (p=0.02). Women who undergo THBO have a higher risk of sexual dysfunction, and this surgical procedure is associated with the development of SUI.

The impact of systematic laparoscopic skills and suture training on laparoscopic hysterectomy outcomes in a brazilian teaching hospital / O impacto do treinamento laparoscópico sistematizado de habilidades e sutura nos resultados da histerectomia laparoscópica em hospital universitário brasileiro

Abstract Objective To evaluate the impact of systematic laparoscopic skills and suture training (SLSST) on the total laparoscopic hysterectomy intra- and postoperative outcomes in a Brazilian teaching hospital. Methods A cross-sectional observational study in which 244 charts of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) patients operated from 2008 to 2014 were reviewed. Patient-specific (age, parity, previous cesarean sections, abdominal surgeries and endometriosis) and surgery-related variables (hospital stay, operative time, uterine volume and operative complications) were analyzed in three different time-frame groups: 2008-09 (I-1) - TLHs performed by senior attending physicians; 2010-11 (I-2) - TLHs performed by residents before the implementation of the SLSST program; and 2012-14 (I-3) - TLHs performed by residents after the implementation of the SLSST program. Results A total of 244 TLH patients (mean age: 45.93 years) were included: 24 (I-1), 55 (I-2), and 165 (I-3). The main indication for TLH was uterine myoma (66.4%). Group I-3 presented a decrease in surgical time compared to group I-2 (p=0.010). Hospital stay longer than 2 days decreased in group I-3 compared to group I-2 (p=0.010). Although we observed decreased uterine volume (154.2 cm3) in group I-2 compared to group I-1 (217.8 cm3) (p=0.030), logistic regression did not find any association between uterine volume and surgical time (p=0.103). Conclusion The total operative time for laparoscopic hysterectomy was significantly shorter in the group of patients (I-3) operated after the systematic laparoscopic skills and suture training was introduced in our hospital.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o impacto do treinamento laparoscópico sistematizado de habilidades e sutura (TLSHS) nos resultados intra e pós-operatórios da histerectomia laparoscópica em um hospital universitário brasileiro. Métodos Estudo observacional transversal de revisão de 244 prontuários de pacientes submetidas a histerectomia total laparoscópica (HTL) operadas entre 2008 e 2014. Os fatores específicos das pacientes (idade, paridade, cesariana prévia, cirurgias abdominais, e endometriose) e as variáveis relacionadas à cirurgia (tempo de hospitalização, tempo de cirurgia, volume uterino e complicações operatórias) foram analisados em três grupos temporais: 2008-09 (I-1) - HTLs realizadas por médicos experientes; 2010-11 (I-2) - HTLs realizadas por residentes sem TLSHS; 2012-2014 (I-3) - HTLs realizadas por residentes após a implementação do TLSHS. Resultados Um total de 244 pacientes submetidas a HTLs foram incluídas (média de idade de 45,93 anos): 24 operadas no período I1, 55 no I2, e 165 no I3. A principal indicação para HTL foi mioma uterino (66,4%). O grupo I-3 apresentou diminuição no tempo cirúrgico quando comparado ao grupo I-2 (p=0,010). Hospitalização superior a 2 dias diminuiu no grupo I-3 comparado ao grupo I-2 (p=0,010). Apesar de observarmos diminuição no volume uterino dos pacientes do grupo I-2 (154,2 cm3) em comparação com os do grupo I-1 (217,8 cm3) (p=0,030), a regressão logística não revelou associação entre volume uterino e tempo cirúrgico (p=0,103). Conclusão O tempo cirúrgico na HTL foi significativamente menor no grupo de pacientes submetidas à cirurgia após a implantação do TLSHS em nosso hospital.

Leiomiomatosis peritoneal diseminada en paciente histerectomizada / Disseminated Peritoneal Leiomyomatosis in a Hysterectomized Patient

La leiomiomatosis peritoneal diseminada es una entidad rara de etiología incierta, caracterizada por la proliferación de múltiples nódulos benignos en la cavidad peritoneal, formados por células musculares lisas, que pueden simular una carcinomatosis peritoneal. Es más frecuente en mujeres en edad fértil, durante el embarazo o por el uso de anticonceptivos orales. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 40 años diagnosticada de leiomiomatosis peritoneal diseminada, sometida a una histerectomía simple por miomatosis uterina. Después de dos años del diagnóstico presenta una exacerbación de la enfermedad y se sospecha de malignización, por lo que se realiza una laparotomía exploratoria donde se observan múltiples nódulos miomatosos extendidos por epiplón, peritoneo y apéndice. Se le practica la exéresis de todos los nódulos (omentectomía, apendicectomía y anexectomía bilateral(. La biopsia confirma el diagnóstico de leiomiomatosis peritoneal diseminada. Actualmente, la paciente permanece asintomática tras 6 años de seguimiento(AU)

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is a rare entity of uncertain etiology, characterized by the proliferation of multiple benign nodules in the peritoneal cavity. These nodules are formed by smooth muscle cells, which can simulate peritoneal carcinomatosis. It manifests predominantly in women of childbearing age, especially during pregnancy or with the use of oral contraceptives. We report here the case of a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis, who underwent simple hysterectomy due to uterine myomatosis. Two years after the diagnosis, she presented with an exacerbation of the disease and malignancy was suspected. So exploratory laparotomy was performed. Multiple myomatous nodules were observed, extended by omentum, peritoneum and appendix. All nodules were removed -omentectomy, appendectomy and bilateral adnexectomy. Biopsy confirms the diagnosis of disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. As of today, the patient remains asymptomatic after 6 years of follow-up(AU)

La hemorragia obstétrica en el servicio de Anestesiología del Hospital Dr. Agostinho Neto / Obstetric Hemorrhage in Anesthesia Service at Dr. Agostinho Neto Hospital

Introducción: La hemorragia obstétrica es una de las complicaciones más temidas y una de las principales causas de mortalidad materna. Objetivo: Caracterizar la hemorragia obstétrica en el servicio de Anestesiología y Reanimación del Hospital Dr. Agostinho Neto de Guantánamo. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo en el mencionado servicio de salud desde 2015 - hasta 2017. De un universo de 388 pacientes que tuvieron diagnóstico de morbilidad materna extremadamente grave, la muestra quedó constituida por las diagnosticadas con hemorragia obstétrica (n= 71). Para el procesamiento estadístico se utilizó el porcentaje, la media y la desviación estándar. Resultados: La hemorragia obstétrica se precisó en 18,2 por ciento de las pacientes; de ellas, 0,7 por ciento fallecieron. La edad media de las pacientes fue de 24,2 ± 6,2 años. La edad gestacional fue de 34,2 ± 6,2 años y la estadía en días fue de 5,9 ± 4,2 [IC 95 por ciento 5,3 - 6,5]. La atonía uterina (50,8 por ciento) fue la causa más común de la hemorragia. El 91,5 por ciento de las pacientes presentó inestabilidad hemodinámica, lo que condicionó el uso de altos volúmenes de fluidos y hemoderivados para su reanimación. La coagulación intravascular diseminada fue la causa de muerte fundamental. Conclusiones: La hemorragia obstétrica continúa una causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad en el mencionado servicio de salud(AU)

Introduction: Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the feared complications and it is one of the main causes of maternal mortality. Objective: To characterize obstetric hemorrhage in the service of Anesthesiology and Reanimation at Dr. Agostinho Neto Hospital in Guantanamo, Cuba from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out in the aforementioned health service from 2015 to 2017. Three hundred eighty eight (388) patients that had diagnostic of extremely serious maternal morbidity were the universe of this study. The sample was constituted by those diagnosed with obstetric hemorrhage (n = 71). Percentage, mean and standard deviation were used for the statistical analysis. Results: Obstetric hemorrhage occurred in 18.2 percent of the patients. 0.7 percent died. The mean age was of 24.2 ± 6.2 years; the pregnancies age was of 34.2 ± 6.2 years and hospital stay was of 5.9 ± 4.2 [IC 95 percentage 5.3 - 6.5]. Uterine atony (50.8 percent) was the most common cause of the hemorrhage. 91.5 percent of the patients had hemodynamic unsteadiness that conditioned the use of high volumes of fluids and hemoderivates for reanimation. Clotting intravascular was the main cause of death. Conclusions: Obstetric hemorrhage constitutes an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the mentioned health service(AU)

Cateterização profilática de artérias uterinas com oclusão temporária do fluxo sanguíneo em pacientes de alto risco para hemorragia puerperal: é uma técnica segura? / Prophylactic catheterization of uterine arteries with temporary blood flow occlusion in patients at high risk of pospartum hemorrhage: is it a safe technique?

A placenta acreta é um importante causa de morbimortalidade materna, sendo responsável por aproximadamente 64% dos casos de histerectomia de urgência e em torno de 2/3 dos casos de sangramento puerperal. Objetivos Descrever uma série de casos de cateterização uterina profilática para evitar sangramento significativo no pós-parto ou durante parto cesárea em gestantes com diagnóstico prévio de acretismo. Métodos Foi realizada uma análise retrospectiva de prontuários dos casos de cateterização da artéria uterina durante cesarianas eletivas ou de urgência em pacientes com alto risco de sangramento puerperal. Resultados O procedimento foi realizado em 14 pacientes. O tempo médio do procedimento cirúrgico e da internação foi de 214,64 minutos (± 42,16) e 7 dias, respectivamente. Todas as pacientes foram submetidas a histerectomia por indicação obstétrica. Nenhuma paciente necessitou de embolização. Não houve sangramento ou necessidade de reabordagem em nenhuma paciente e nenhuma complicação relacionada à punção. Houve apenas um caso de morte fetal e nenhuma morte materna. Conclusões Neste estudo, a cateterização profilática de artérias uterinas com oclusão temporária do fluxo sanguíneo demonstrou ser uma técnica segura, pois apresentou baixa mortalidade fetal, baixa necessidade de hemotransfusão, e nenhuma morte materna. Portanto, pode ser considerada uma estratégia terapêutica importante e eficaz para a diminuição da morbimortalidade materna, especialmente em gestantes com implantação placentária anômala. Além disso, a possibilidade de preservação uterina com o uso do método traz excelente contribuição na terapêutica nesse grupo de pacientes. Entretanto, são necessários ensaios clínicos randomizados para avaliar a eficácia do uso rotineiro da técnica

Placenta accreta is an important factor in maternal morbidity and mortality and is responsible for approximately 64% of emergency hysterectomy cases and about 2/3 of cases of puerperal bleeding. Objectives To describe a series of cases of prophylactic uterine catheterization performed to prevent significant postpartum bleeding or during caesarean delivery in pregnant women with a previous diagnosis of accretion. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of medical records of cases of uterine artery catheterization performed during elective or emergency caesarean sections of patients at high risk of postpartum bleeding. Results The catheterization of uterine arteries procedure was performed in fourteen patients. Mean duration of surgery and hospital stay were 214.64 minutes (± 42.16) and 7 days, respectively. All patients underwent obstetric hysterectomy. No patient required embolization. There was no bleeding or need to revisit any patient and there were no complications related to puncture. There was one fetal death and no maternal deaths. Conclusions In this study, prophylactic uterine artery catheterization with temporary occlusion of blood flow proved to be a safe technique with low fetal mortality, no maternal mortality, and a low rate of blood transfusion and can be considered an important and effective therapeutic strategy for reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in pregnant women with anomalous placental attachment. Furthermore, the possibility of uterine preservation with the use of this method is an excellent contribution to therapeutic management of this group of patients. However, randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of routine use of the technique

Characteristics of total laparoscopic hysterectomy among women with or without previous cesarean section: retrospective analysis

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The number of hysterectomized patients with previous cesarean sections (CSs) has increased due to increasing CS rates. A previous history of CS has been demonstrated to be an important risk factor for major complications in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The aim here was to evaluate the major complications and safety of TLH in patients with previous CS. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective analysis in a tertiary-level center. METHODS: The medical records of 504 total laparoscopic hysterectomy patients operated between May 2013 and May 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. Data on age, parity, surgical indications, duration of operation, length of hospital stay, histopathological diagnosis and major intra and postoperative complications were gathered. The patients were categorized into two groups according to their CS history, namely those with and those without previous CS. Major complications were defined as the presence of lower urinary tract injury (bladder or ureter injury), enterotomy/colostomy, bowel serosal injury or vascular injury. RESULTS: There was no difference between the groups in terms of parity, duration of operation, hospital stay or pre and postoperative hemoglobin levels. The conversion rates to laparotomy in the previous CS and no CS groups were 2% and 1.7%, respectively. The rates of major complications in the previous CS and no CS groups were 5% and 1.3%, respectively, and these results did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: TLH could be performed safely in the previous CS group, since the complication rate was not different from that of the patients without previous CS.
