Assisted Reproductive Techniques and submucous myoma.

Submucous myomas have negative effects on fertility. To maintain fertility, conservative treatment should be suggested to women who wish to become pregnant, especially young patients. The patient was a 33-year-old woman, who had had secondary infertility for 3 years. Upon vaginal ultrasound, we noticed a submucous myoma measuring 26 mm x 31 mm with a compressive effect on the anterior surface of the endometrium. Ovarian reserve was low. The gold standard of myoma treatment is surgical intervention. But, for the following reasons: the adverse effects of surgery on the endometrium (intrauterine adhesion), the patient's refusal to undergo a myomectomy and her request for pregnancy, our strategy for treating was to reduce volume of submucous myoma and start the assisted reproductive techniques (ART) cycle, simultaneously. We administered three courses of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) and then induced controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Ovum pick up was done. Finally, we transferred two embryos (4 and 6 cells). In subsequent patient visits, ßhCG was positive after 14 days. At the last patient visit, the heart of the embryo was formed. From this finding, it may be concluded that combined GnRHa and ART is the treatment of choice for infertile women with uterine submucous myoma, considering the reduced ovarian reserve and response.

Evaluación de la efectividad y satisfacción de las pacientes tras miomectomía histeroscópica en consulta / Evaluation of effectiveness and patient satisfaction of hysteroscopic myomectomy in office

OBJETIVO: Analizar la efectividad de las miomectomías histeroscópicas en consulta realizadas con minirresector y conocer si hay factores relacionados con el grado de satisfacción de las pacientes. MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, transversal y prospectivo, de mujeres sometidas a miomectomía histeroscópica en consulta durante el año 2018. Las pacientes recibieron medicación para la preparación cervical, analgesia oral y anestesia paracervical. La miomectomía se realizó con un minirresector de 5.8 mm. Se registraron el tiempo y el dolor en una escala visual analógica (EVA) durante la entrada y la resección, así como la satisfacción de las pacientes a los 3 meses con el cuestionario validado CSQ-8. RESULTADOS: El estudio incluyó 59 pacientes. El tiempo medio de entrada fue menor de 1 minuto (47,93 segundos) y el de resección fue de 13,51 minutos. El dolor referido por las pacientes en la EVA durante la entrada y la resección puntuó en torno a 3 y 4, respectivamente. Se consiguió un 74.6% de resecciones completas de los miomas y la puntuación media de satisfacción de las pacientes fue de 27.17. La resección completa del mioma se asoció con una mayor satisfacción total de las pacientes. CONCLUSIONES: La miomectomía histeroscópica en consulta llevada a cabo con un minirresector de 5.8 mm con analgesia paracervical obtiene buenos resultados clínicos, con buena satisfacción de las pacientes. Esta última se relaciona con una resección completa del mioma, sin que influyan el tiempo necesario para su exéresis ni el dolor.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effectiveness of hysteroscopic myomectomy in office performed with mini-resectoscope, and to know if there is any variable related with patient satisfaction. METHOD: Observational and prospective transversal study, which included all women who underwent a hysteroscopic myomectomy in office in 2018. Patients received drugs for cervical preparation and pain management, as well as paracervical block. We used the 5.8 mm mini-resectoscope. We kept record of time and AVS pain during entrance and resection, as well as patient satisfaction 3 months after the procedure using the CSQ-8. RESULTS: The study included 59 patients. Mean entrance time was less than 1 minute (47.93 seconds), while mean resection time was 13.51 minutes. AVS pain during entrance and resection was around 3 and 4, respectively. We achieved 74.6% rate of complete resection. Mean patient satisfaction rate was 27.17 points. We found that a complete myoma resection is related to higher patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Hysteroscopic myomectomy in office performed with the 5.8 mm mini-resectoscope, using cervical block, achieves good clinical results and a good patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction is associated with a complete resection of the myoma, without any influence of pain experienced or time required.

Incidence of occult uterine sarcoma and other unexpected pathologies in patients having surgery for presumed myomas: A retrospective observational study.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of occult uterine sarcomas and other unexpected pathologies in patients undergoing hysterectomies or myomectomies with a pre-operative diagnosis of uterine leiomyomas. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Tertiary hospital in Santiago, Chile. POPULATION: 921 women who underwent surgery for presumed myomas. Database analysis of surgical and pathological notes, from January 2007 to December 2017 with a preoperative diagnosis of uterine leiomyoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: number of patients with uterine sarcoma confirmed on histology. RESULTS: During this period, a total of 921 gynecological surgeries were performed for benign uterine fibroids of which 787 were hysterectomies and 134 were myomectomies. We found four cases of malignant neoplasms (0,43 %). Two were uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS), one mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor, and one case of incidental cervical cancer. This gives an LMS incidence of 1 in 460 and 1 in 921 of mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor. There were seven cases of unexpected benign pathology. This included six atypical myomas and one leiomyoblastoma epithelioid myoma. If we combine the malignant and benign cases, we would have an incidence of 1.2 % of unexpected pathology. CONCLUSION: In our series of patients undergoing myomectomies or hysterectomies for presumed myomas the incidence of LMS was 1 in 460. The incidence of any unexpected pathology including benign ones in presumed myomas was 1 in 83 (six atypical myomas, one leiomyoblastoma epithelioid myoma, two LMS, one mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor, one incidental cervical cancer).

Sinfisiodese púbica juvenil associada à miectomia do pectíneo para tratamento de displasia coxofemoral em cão / Juvenile pubic symphysiodesis associated with pectineus myectomy for treatment of hip dysplasia in dog

Background: Hip dysplasia (HD) is the most common non-traumatic orthopedic disease in large breed dogs. Treatment is chosen according to the severity of the condition, the age of the dog and the involvement of osteoarthritis (OA). For puppies up to 20-weeks-old, surgical treatment by the juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS) technique can be performed. This procedure promotes the ventrolateral rotation of the acetabulum over the femoral head, which improves hip joint congruence and stability. The objective of this study is to report the case of a young dog with HD treated with JPS and pectineus myectomy. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed for up to one year after surgery. Case: A 17-week-old Saint Bernard puppy was attended at the University Veterinary Hospital showing abnormal weight bearing and lameness in pelvic limbs, without history of previous trauma. On orthopedic examination, there was a marked hypotrophy of the pelvic limb muscles, severe pain and laxity in the hip joints, and positive feature in the Ortolani test. The hip joint subluxation angle (SA) and reduction angle (RA) were measured. A radiographic study was carried out to evaluate the hip joints and measure the Norberg angle (NA), distraction index (DI), acetabular angle (AA) and dorsal acetabular rim angle (DARA). The 20-week-old dog underwent surgical treatment by JPS technique. A ventral surgical approach to the pubis was performed and the pubic symphysis was cauterized with electrocautery. Partial pectineus myectomy technique was also performed. Drug therapy and restriction of physical activities were indicated in the early postoperative. The dog was evaluated by clinical and radiographic examinations at 4 months and 1 year after the surgical procedure. In the reassessment after 4 months of surgical treatment, the patient showed improvement in clinical signs, with mild lameness and absence of painful sensitivity in the movement of the hip joints. Radiographically, hip joint incongruity was observed, but with progressive improvement in the values of the measured variables. In the clinical examination 1 year after the procedure, the dog showed satisfactory weight bearing with slight lameness in pelvic limbs in the running gait. There was improvement in the thigh muscles and no painful signs were observed in the hip joints, but a positive result was detected in the Ortolani test. In the radiographic examination, bilateral articular incongruity was still observed, however, there was a mild improvement in the coverage of the acetabulum over the femoral head. The measured angles and indices showed favorable results regarding the recovery of hip joint stability and proper development. Discussion: Studies evaluating the JPS technique for the treatment of HD have shown to be a relatively simple and effective procedure, which allows altering the acetabular coverage, reducing the development of HD and the progression of OA. The need for an early diagnosis of this condition is essential, so that the JPS technique can be used in young dogs and offer effective results. In the present report, in the late postoperative period, the dog showed improvement in clinical signs, with favorable weight bearing and ambulation in pelvic limbs, recovery of limb muscles, absence of pain in the hip joints and decrease in RA and SA. Radiographically, the reduction in joint subluxation, improvement in acetabular coverage over femoral heads, increase in NA and AA, reduction in DI and DARA are evidence of the favorable outcome of ventrolateral rotation of the acetabulum after surgical treatment. The surgical technique used was effective, which enabled the dog to recover the functional use of the pelvic limbs and improve the quality of life.

Describir la patogenia, sintomatología y tratamiento, como un caso infrecuente y potencialmente grave, en la práctica clínica diaria. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Analizar el curso de esta extremadamente rara patología, en una mujer postmenopáusica de 59 años. Se trata de un caso raro de torsión uterina en un útero no gestante, reportando los hallazgos en los exámenes previos a la cirugía y los hallazgos intraoperatorios e histopatológicos postcirugía. La resonancia magnética fue fundamental en el diagnóstico de la paciente y la laparotomía realizada demostró una torsión de cuerpo uterino de 360 ° a nivel de cérvix, y un gran mioma pediculado con signos de necrosis. Hemos revisado los últimos artículos de esta rara patología RESULTADOS Y DISCUSIÓN: La paciente fue operada. Se realizó una histerectomía total mediante una laparotomía media supra e infraumbilical. Los ovarios no tenían signos de necrosis. CONCLUSIONES: Debemos tener en cuenta esta posibilidad diagnóstica, en pacientes con aumento de tamaño uterino y clínica de dolor abdominal, ya que aunque es muy infrecuente, su diagnóstico es importante, ya que puede ser peligroso para la vida de la paciente.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of torsion of the uterus, fallopian tubes and both ovaries around the uterine collum and the symptomatology, pathogenesis and treatment of this uncommon pathology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article analyses the course of this extremely rare pathology in a postmenopausical woman of 59 years. It is a rare case like a non gravid uterine torsion in a postmenopausical woman. We have the exams previous to the surgery, the finds intraoperative and the histolopathological reports postsurgery. RMN was the most important in diagnosis and the laparotomy showed a 360° an uterus increased on size and a big pedunculated myoma with signs of necrosis We have reviewed the latest articles on this strange pathology RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The patient was operated. A infra-supra medium laparotomy was practiced and a total hysterectomy was made. Ovarians had not signs of necrosis. CONCLUSIONS: We must take into account, in patients with pathologies that increase uterine size and abdominal pain, the possibility of uterine torsion. Although it is a very infrequent pathology, its diagnosis is important, since it can be dangerous for the life of the patient

Mioma vaginal / Vaginal mioma

Los leiomiomas, también llamados miomas o fibromas, son tumores del músculo liso que puede localizarse en cualquier parte del cuerpo, pero más comúnmente en los tractos genital y gastrointestinal. El objetivo del trabajo es presentar un caso de mioma vaginal en una mujer de 42 años. La paciente acudió a la consulta por presentar, desde hace varios meses, una masa redondeada, indolora y de crecimiento gradual, a nivel del introito vaginal. Se constata, mediante examen clínico e imagenológico, la presencia de una tumoración redondeada de implantación sésil, en la cara anterior de la vagina. Fue realizada la exéresis quirúrgica, la cual se envió para un estudio histopatológico. Se comprobó que se trataba de un leiomioma de la vagina. La paciente no presentó complicaciones posoperatorias(AU)

Leiomyomas, also called myomas or fibroids, are smooth muscle tumors that can be located anywhere in the body, but more commonly in the genital and gastrointestinal tracts. The objective of the paper is to present a case of vaginal myoma in a 42-year-old woman. This patient came to the consultation for presenting a painless gradually-growing round mass at the level of the vaginal introitus, for several months. The presence of a rounded mass of sessile implantation on the anterior side of the vagina is confirmed by clinical and imaging examination. Surgical exeresis was performed, which was histopathologically studied. It was found to be a vagina leiomyoma. The patient did not present postoperative complications(AU)

Anestesia para cirugía convencional en paciente con tetralogía de Fallot. Presentación de un caso / Anesthesia for conventional surgery in a patient with Tetralogy of Fallot. Case presentation

La tetralogía de Fallot es la forma más frecuente de cardiopatía congénita cianótica que se presenta en los neonatos. Los cuatro componentes de la enfermedad son: la alineación anormal de la comunicación interventricular, la obstrucción infundibular del ventrículo derecho, el cabalgamiento aórtico de la comunicación interventricular y la hipertrofia del ventrículo derecho. En este trabajo se trata un caso que se presentó para una cirugía convencional frecuente, la Histerectomía Abdominal Total debido a un mioma uterino, en una paciente que padecía de tetralogía de Fallot, con 43 años de edad, situación poco frecuente en la práctica diaria. El objetivo de este trabajo es exponer la experiencia del caso, que necesitó un manejo cuidadoso y que no aparece en la literatura básica. Habitualmente se aplica anestesia para niños con esta malformación para mejorar la calidad de vida o corregirla definitivamente, y porque precisamente solo el 2 % de los pacientes con esta enfermedad, que no han sido tratados quirúrgicamente, pueden arribar a la cuarta década de vida (AU).

The tetralogy of Fallot is the most frequent form of cyanotic congenital heart diseases presented in newborns. The disease’s four components are: abnormal alignment of intraventricular communication, right ventricle infundibular obstruction, aortic straddling of intraventricular communication, and right ventricle hypertrophy. The case presented is a case of a frequent conventional surgery, the total abdominal hysterectomy due to a uterine myoma, in a patient, aged 43 years, suffering for tetralogy of Fallot, a little frequent situation in the daily practice. The objective is exposing the experience of the case, demanding a careful management, which was not found in the main literature sources. Anesthesia is usually used in children with this malformation to improve their life quality or it is definitively corrected; only 2 % of the patients suffering this disease that have not been surgically treated are still alive in the fourth decade of life (AU).

Quiste de ovario intraligamentario gigante y miomatosis uterina / Giant intraligamentary ovary cyst and uterine myomatosis

Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 55 años de edad con quiste gigante de ovario. Fue atendida por integrantes de la Brigada Médica Cubana en la consulta de Ginecología del Hospital Regional de New Ámsterdam de la República de Guyana en el mes agosto de 2016 por presentar aumento de tamaño del abdomen, de aproximadamente dos años de evolución. El diagnóstico fue sospechado por ultrasonografía y tomografía axial computarizada. Se confirmó una tumoración quística gigante del ovario derecho a través de una laparotomía exploradora con dimensiones extraordinarias 48 cm de diámetro y peso 12,5 kg; además, miomatosis uterina. Se le realizó histerectomía total con doble anexectomía. El estudio histológico concluyó ser un cistoadenoma seroso de ovario y miomatosis uterina(AU)

We present the case of a 55-year-old female with giant ovarian cyst. She was attended in the gynecology consultation by members of the Cuban Medical Brigade, at the Regional Hospital of New Amsterdam in the Republic of Guyana during August, 2016. She presented a size increase abdomen, of approximately two years of evolution. The diagnosis was suspected by ultrasonography and computerized axial tomography. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed a giant cystic tumor in the right ovary of extraordinary dimensions (48 cm in diameter and 12.5 kg in weight), beside uterine myomatosis. A total hysterectomy was performed with double annexectomy. The histological study concluded that it was a serous cystadenoma of ovary and uterine myomatosis(AU)

Miomectomía en gestante de 14 semanas: a propósito de un caso / Myomectomy in a 14-week pregnant woman: about a case

ANTECEDENTES: La prevalencia de los miomas uterinos en la gestación es de 0,3 a 2,6% de los cuales un 10% se complican durante el embarazo. El manejo quirúrgico de los miomas en la gestación se reserva solo para los casos complicados. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 36 años, primigesta, que consulta a las 11 semanas de gestación por cuadro de distensión abdominal, edema en extremidades inferiores y sangrado vaginal escaso. El examen físico y la ecografía evidencia un mioma de 23 cm de diámetro y saco gestacional con embrión vivo a nivel de hipocondrio izquierdo. En controles posteriores la paciente empeora clínicamente debido al crecimiento del mioma, presentado dolor abdominal intenso, aumento de edemas en ambas extremidades inferiores. Los estudios de imagen informan ectasia pielocalicial bilateral y compresión de venas ilíacas. Ante los hallazgos y clínica se realiza miomectomía sin incidencias a las 14 semanas de gestación. El postoperatorio y controles posteriores son normales y se programa cesárea a las 37 semanas de gestación. DISCUSIÓN: La miomectomía en la gestación conlleva riesgos de hemorragia y aborto. Se reserva para casos puntuales que no respondan al manejo expectante. La recomendación actual y la experiencia indican que se debe realizar en el segundo trimestre de gestación. CONCLUSIÓN: La miomectomía en la gestación es una técnica que se debe plantear en casos seleccionados y que presenta pocas complicaciones.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of uterine fibroids in pregnancy is 0.3 to 2.6%, 10% of which complicate during pregnancy. The surgical management of fibroids in pregnant women is reserved for complicated cases. CASE REPORT: The patient is 36 years old, first pregnancy, consulting at 11 weeks of gestation with bloating, edema in the lower extremities and mild vaginal bleeding. Physical examination and ultrasound evidence a 23 cm diameter fibroid and gestational sac with live embryo in the left upper abdominal quadrant. In subsequent tests the patient worsens clinically due to fibroid growth, presenting intense abdominal pain, increased edema in both lower extremities. Imaging studies report pyelocalyceal bilateral ectasia and compression of iliac veins. Given these findings and symptoms a myomectomy is performed without incidents at 14 weeks of gestation. Postoperative and subsequent tests are normal and caesarean section is preformed at 37 weeks of gestation. DISCUSSION: myomectomy in pregnancy carries risks of bleeding and abortion. It is reserved for cases that do not respond to expectant management. The current recommendation and experience indicate that it has to be performed in the second trimester. CONCLUSION: Myomectomy in pregnancy is a technique that should be considered in selected cases and has few complications.

Office Hysteroscopic Laser Enucleation of Submucous Myomas without Mass Extraction: A Case Series Study.

Background and Objectives. A new two-step hysteroscopic myomectomy carried out in the office setting and without anesthesia was feasible for the excision of submucous myomas. The objective of this study was to assess whether removal of submucous myomas from the uterine cavity after hysteroscopic laser enucleation is necessary. Methods. Between June 2009 and April 2013, all outpatients with symptomatic myomatosis (bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility) assessed ultrasonographically were eligible to participate in a prospective study. All patients underwent office hysteroscopic enucleation of submucous myomas. Enucleated myomas were left in the uterine cavity. Neither anesthesia nor antibiotic prophylaxis was used. Results. Sixty-one women (mean age: 47.3 years) were included. Regardless of hysteroscopic localization and grading, all myomas were enucleated. The mean (standard deviation, SD) diameter of the myoma as measured by the ultrasound scan was 22.6 (8.5) mm. In 29 cases (47.5%), the diameter of the resected myoma was >20 mm and in 10 cases (16.4%) >30 mm. After a mean follow-up of 68.2 (16.5) days, none of the patients showed a residual myoma inside the uterine cavity. Conclusions. The present results indicate that leaving laser-enucleated submucous myoma in the uterine cavity is a feasible and safe therapeutic option.

Leiomioma intraóseo de maxilar superior: hallazgo radiográfico posterior a un traumatismo dentario / Maxillary intraosseous leiomyoma: radiographic finding after dental trauma

Objetivo: informar sobre un caso inusual de leiomioma intramaxilar, sus características clínico-radiográficas y su diagnóstico diferencial. Caso clínico: se presenta a la consulta una niña de 10 años de edad con una lesión osteolítica en el maxilar superior, inicialmente considerada -según los antecedentes clínicos- una complicación periapical, producto de lesión pulpar postraumática. Luego de realizar el tratamiento endodóntico convencional, los controles radiográficos posteriores evidenciaron, a los 2 meses, falta de remisión de la lesión osteolítica y, a los 4 meses, aumento de su tamaño. Tras su extirpación quirúrgica, el estudio histopatológico correspondiente diagnosticó leiomioma. Conclusiones: el leiomioma es una neoplasia benigna del músculo liso que, habitualmente, se localiza en los tejidos blandos. Su presencia en la cavidad bucal es infrecuente y es aún más rara en los maxilares. Por su aspecto radiográfico inespecífico, puede confundirse con otras patologías, lo cual dificulta el diagnóstico precoz.(
