RESUMO
We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and safety of performing gynecological single-port transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted adnexal surgery without urethral catheterization in a day surgery setting. A total of 153 patients with adnexal disease were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT). All subjects performed single-port transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted adnexal surgery between March 2021 and July 2022 in a day surgery center. After completion of the baseline survey, participants were randomized into one of three groups. Participants were randomized into one of three groups: uncatheterized (n = 51), intermittent catheterized (n = 51), or indwelling catheterized (n = 51). The primary outcomes were the incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and microscopic hematuria, and the secondary outcomes included the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI), the incidence of urinary retention, the incidence of bladder injury, the time till first urination, the time till first ambulation, the time till first exhaust, the time till first feeding and Kolcaba comfort score. The incidence of postoperative LUTS in the uncatheterized group (17.65%) was lower than that in the intermittent catheterized group (52.94%) and the indwelling catheterized group (84.31%), and there was significant difference between the two catheterized groups (P < 0.001). In the patients without vaginal manipulation, the incidence of microscopic hematuria in the uncatheterized group (0%) was lower than that in the intermittent catheterized group (37.50%) and the indwelling catheterized group (38.89%) (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the first urination time, first ambulation time, first exhaust time, first feeding time, and comfort score among the three groups (P > 0.05). Moreover, no urinary retention, UTI and bladder injury were recorded in the three groups. Gynecological single-port laparoscopic adnexal surgery without urinary catheter is safe and feasible in a day surgery ward, which can reduce the incidence of postoperative LUTS and microscopic hematuria.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is widely recognized for its potential benefits, including reducing post-surgical pain and leaving no discernible scarring. However, the anatomical specificity of the vNOTES approach may elevate the risk of nearby organ damage, such as the rectum and bladder. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate the safety and relative merits of vNOTES over transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS). METHODS: The Longitudinal Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery Study (LovNOTESS), which was conducted in Chengdu, China. A total of 110 patients who underwent myomectomy in vNOTES or LESS from January 2021 to December 2022. This study prospectively collected and compared perioperative and follow-up data of the two groups. RESULTS: In the vNOTES group, patients had shorter postoperative anal exhaust time, lower pain medications use rate, shorter hospital stay but higher intraoperative conversion rate, and higher postoperative fever rate. vNOTES decreased the anal exhaust time by approximately 8.7 h (95 %CI: -16.182, -1.262, p = 0.007). Moreover, vNOTES reduces pain medication use risk by 73.1 % (OR: 0.269, 95 %CI: 0.172, 0.318, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION: Relative to LESS, vNOTES can make patients mitigate postoperative discomfort, accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function, curtail hospitalization duration, and enable a more rapid return to daily activities in myomectomy. However, vNOTES has a higher risk of surgical conversion and adjacent organ injury. Therefore, larger scale prospective studies are needed to prove its security and promote the widespread application of vNOTES in myomectomy.

Objective: We aimed to determine the safety of Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in terms of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) concept for tubal pregnancy surgery and provide a detailed process of vNOTES for tubal pregnancy surgery, including experience and key points for surgeons performing this procedure. Methods: The Longitudinal Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery Study (LovNOTESS), which was conducted in Chengdu, China. A total of 219 patients who underwent tubal ectopic pregnancy surgery between September 2021 and March 2022. The patients underwent salpingectomy or salpingostomy using transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) or vNOTES, according to their preferences. This study prospectively collected perioperative and one-year follow-up data on tubal pregnancy outcomes after vNOTES and compared them with those after LESS. Results: The vNOTES group showed a shorter surgical duration, hospitalization duration, and postoperative exhaust time and a lower analgesic medication usage rate, but it showed a higher surgical conversion rate. The vNOTES approach reduced the postoperative exhaust time by approximately 9 h (95% confidence interval [CI]: -11.93, -5.57 h, p < .001) and the risk of postoperative analgesic drug use by 77% (odds ratio, 0.23; 95% CI: 0.10, 0.61, p = .023). Conclusion: vNOTES can shorten the exhaust time and duration of hospitalization, reduce postoperative pain, and avoid surface surgical scars in tubal pregnancy surgeries, consistent with the ERAS concept. However, more comprehensive preoperative evaluation of patients who choose vNOTES is required to reduce the occurrence of intraoperative conversion.Trial registration: ChiCTR2100053483.
RESUMO
Introduction: Although previous studies have shown that vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has the advantages of causing less pain, faster recovery, and better concealment of surgical incisions, which aligns with the concept of the day-care procedure, this approach poses a greater risk of damaging adjacent organs (i. e., rectum and bladder) due to its anatomical specificity. Moreover, the day-care procedure may lead to relatively less preoperative evaluation and postoperative care. Hence, it is necessary to explore the safety and effectiveness of vNOTES for ovarian cystectomy in the day-care procedure, to provide a theoretical basis for the wider development of vNOTES surgery. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 131 patients at our hospital who underwent ovarian cystectomy from September 2021 to October 2022. Based on the surgical approach, patients were classified into transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and vNOTES groups. The patients' demographic characteristics and follow-up data were collected during the perioperative period and 1-month postoperatively. Results: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery has less postoperative exhaust time, a lower postoperative 6-hour pain score, and a lower incidence of analgesic drug use, with higher surgical conversion incidence. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the surgical conversion, chocolate cyst, bilateral cyst, and pelvic adhesion increased the operation duration by ~43 (95% CI: 10.309, 68.152, p < 0.001), 15 (95% CI: 6.342, 45.961, p = 0.036), 10 (95% CI: 3.07, 40.166, p = 0.019), and 8 (95% CI: 4.555, 26.779, p = 0.035) min, respectively. Interestingly, vNOTES decreased the operation duration by ~8.5 min (95% CI: -18.313, -2.699, p = 0.033). Conclusion: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery was equally safe and effective for ovarian cystectomy compared to LESS. vNOTES aligned with the concept of the day-care procedure due to its reduced postoperative pain, shorter exhaust time, and absence of scarring. However, surgeons should conduct a comprehensive preoperative evaluation and exclude patients suspected to have severe pelvic adhesions.
RESUMO
To find a credible nutritional screening tool for evaluating relationship between nutritional status and diseases in Chengdu female residents, the reliability and validity of a revised semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ) were tested. The validity was assessed by comparing the SQFFQ with the 'standard' method of 3 days' dietary recall, and the reliability was assessed by comparing the first SQFFQ with the second SQFFQ at 4 weeks interval. Correlation analysis showed that, for reliability, the average correlation coefficient (CC) of 22 kinds of nutrients was 0.66 and reduced to 0.60 after adjusting for energy; the average of intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) was 0.65. For validity, the average CC was 0.35 and remained stable after adjusting for CC of energy or nutrients. Validity of 17 nutrients in SQFFQ survey had correlation with result of 3 days' dietary recall. The results showed that the revised SQFFQ can be used for investigating the role of nutrients in development of disease in Chengdu female residents.

OBJECTIVE: To test the reliability and validity of International Physical Activity Questionnaires (long self-administrated format) (IPAQ), Chinese version on women of 12 - 44 years old, in Chengdu city. METHODS: Clustered sampling was used, according to the age distribution of investigated population. One community, one university and two middle schools (including one high school and one junior high school) in Chengdu were selected. The reliability study was conducted in a 28-day period. Participants were contacted three times within 28 days (on the 1(st), the 8(th) and the 28(th) day respectively). In the validity study, participants completed the same questionnaire and Bouchard physical activity diary (PA diary) each day for seven days between visit 1 and visit 2 before comparing the IPAQ's result with Bouchard physical activity diary's for validity study. Pearson or Spearman' correlation coefficients were calculated for validity and interclass correlation coefficients for reliability according to date distribution. RESULTS: (1) One hundred and eighty six participants were recruited for the reliability study. All of them completed the first questionnaire with 143 (76.88%) and 172 (92.50%) finished the second and third questionnaires. One hundred and fifty eight participants were recruited in the validity study. Qualified questionnaire accounted for 90.59% (143). (2) Results from the test-retest reliability of the Chinese version of long self-administrated format (IPAQ) showed: the ICC after one week ranged from 0.7373 to 0.972 (mean: 0.870) which were higher than those interval's reliability [ICC = 0.472 - 0.948 for three weeks interval (mean: 0.721), and 0.473 - 0.925 for four weeks interval (mean: 0.696)]. The ICCs of three weeks interval and four weeks interval were not significantly different. ICCs for vigorous physical activity and leisure time physical activity were the best. (3) The validity for different intensity, total physical activity and sitting time showed the correlation coefficients between IPAQ and PA diary ranged from 0.445 to 0.696, with correlation for vigorous physical activity the best (r = 0.696). CONCLUSION: IPAQ-C seemed a reliable and validated measure of physical activity for 12 - 44 year-old women in Chengdu city.
