Hysterectomies performed in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology until the 19th century always had a lethal end. In the 20th century they were performed quite successful concerning survival but perhaps too frequently, whereas the 21st ce…
The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic rectosigmoid anterior wall discoid resection for endometriosis using the circular stapler. A retrospective analysis was conducted of nine consecutive patie…
Endometriosis is a relatively common condition characterized by implantation and proliferation of endometrial glands outside the uterus affecting 8% to 15% of women. Intestinal involvement is common, reported in 12% to 37% of individuals wi…
OBJECTIVE: To present a case of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and diaphragmatic endometriosis that was managed thoracoscopically. A review of the literature is also presented. METHODS: A-28-year-old woman presented with bloody stools, c…
Endometriosis is best treated by surgical excision. This can be accomplished either by excision of the endometriosis with reproductive tract preservation or by excision of endometriosis with hysterectomy. This latter approach eliminates end…
More than 25% of women in the United States undergo hysterectomy by age 60. In assessing the appropriateness of this procedure, physicians should consider the surgical techniques available, the impact of ovary removal and the subsequent ind…
The surgical treatment of patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is discussed in this chapter, including indications, techniques and complications. Hysterectomy is the definitive treatment for DUB; in most studies it has a highe…
The third reported case of pelvic gliomatosis found within foci of endometriosis is documented 16 years after the removal of a benign cystic teratoma. Grossly at laparoscopy the lesions appear as typical deep fibrotic endometriotic implants…
ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of Insuflow (Georgia BioMedical, Inc.) filter heater hydrator device in reducing the incidence, severity and extent of hypothermia, length of recovery room stay and postoperative pain at the time o…
Diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis is the most frequent reason for gynecologic operative laparoscopy in the United States. It is therefore important for the laparoscopist to be thoroughly familiar with the current standards of diagnos…
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a substitute for abdominal hysterectomy and not for vaginal hysterectomy. Most hysterectomies currently performed with an abdominal approach may be performed with laparoscopic dissection of part or all of the ab…
Traditionally, definitive treatment for symptomatic endometriosis has been total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. However, aggressive excision of all endometriotic implants at the time of hysterectomy with preser…
Oophorectomies were performed on 312 women as part of an operative laparoscopic procedure over an eight-year period. The average age of the women was 40.4 +/- 0.6 (SEM) years; 36.5% had previously undergone a hysterectomy. The median operat…
Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year in the United States, more than 75% of which are removed via an open laparotomy. Most hysterectomies that currently require an abdominal approach may be performed with laparoscopi…
Laparoscopic resection of full-thickness lesions of the anterior rectum followed by repair using a two-layer suture technique is described. Anterior rectal laceration occurred in two bowel-prepped women during excision of deep fibrotic endo…
One hundred women with cul-de-sac obliteration secondary to retrocervical deep fibrotic endometriosis (48 partial, 52 complete) were treated laparoscopically for infertility (46 cases), pain (46), hypermenorrhea (7) and a mass (1). The surg…
Sixty-seven women with extensive pelvic adhesions, including hydrosalpinx, underwent a laparoscopic surgical procedure over the past eight years. Only cases in which ovum pickup was greatly impaired by adhesions were included. Cases of exte…
Seventy-nine cases of ovarian endometrioma were treated via the laparoscope. The surgical technique gradually evolved from drainage alone to fulguration and finally to excision of the endometrioma cyst wall. Indications for laparoscopy were…
