A Case Report: Delayed Onset Urinary Tract Injury after Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Lower urinary tract injury in hysterectomy is rare, but once it occurs, the consequence can be deteriorating.
We experienced late onset urinary tract injury that developed as late as 15 days after laparoscopic hysterectomy. The
objective of this case report is to alert all gynecological laparoscopists that such late onset complication may happen to
any of patients.
Spontaneous Secondary Colporrhexis Following Vaginal Delivery in Woman with Previous Caesarean Section
: Colporrhexis is separation of vaginal fornix from cervix and is a rare but serious cause of major obstetric haemorrhage
in women during labor. Immediate clinical diagnosis is difficult but must be anticipated if haemorrhage continues despite contracted
uterus following delivery. Rapid resuscitation and decision of laparotomy with either repair or hysterectomy is key in preventing
maternal mortality.
Application of the Posterior Approach Technique in Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer
The aim of this study was to compare and determine the feasibility, surgical outcomes, intraoperative and postoperative
complications of the use of the posterior approach technique in the laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) to the conventional
laparoscopic radical hysterectomy in patients with cervical cancer.
Patient Perceptions of Robotic Surgery for Benign Gynecologic Disease
Studies comparing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) and conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) suggest that the two approaches have similar outcomes. However, RALS leads to higher cost and longer operative time. We sought to investigate patient perceptions of RALS for benign gynecologic pathology.
Pregnancy after Novasure® Endometrial Ablation: Two Cases and a Literature Survey
NovaSure® endometrial ablation is a successful therapy for patients with heavy menstrual bleeding who do not want to preserve fertility. However, endometrial ablation is not a contraceptive treatment. We report two cases of pregnancy after NovaSure® endometrial ablation. Case 1 is a pregnancy in a 44-year old woman.
A Laparoscopic Assisted Minilaparotomy Hysterectomy approach for Very Large Fibroid Uteri of more than 1000 grams – A Preliminary Study
Minilaparotomy has been used for tubal sterilization for decades. It became a new surgical idea described by some who performed minilaparotomy hysterectomy and achieved outcomes that were less invasive than those of traditional open laparotomy. Pelosi and Pelosi 2004 reported a minilaparotomy procedure in patients in whom vaginal hysterectomy was considered contraindicated. Their procedure offered a safe alternative with minimal access and good outcome.
Complex Vesicovaginal Fistula Repair with Gracilis Muscle Interposition Flap - Case Series of 5 Patients and Review of Literature
Complex Vescico-vaginal Fistulas (VVF) are a common cause of morbidity especially in elderly patients. These can be one of the most troublesome complications of obstetric trauma and pelvic surgery and usually occur due to previous operative interventions and/or as a result of chronic diseases. These are difficult to repair because of the poor or almost no supporting tissue left at the perineum as a result of the previous insults.
