Objective To evaluate the effect of preoperative anaemia and blood transfusion on 30-day postoperative morbidity mortality in patients undergoing gynecological surgery. Study Design Data were analyzed from 12,836 women operation American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Outcomes measured were; mortality, composite specific morbidities (cardiac, respiratory, central nervous system, renal, wound, sepsis, venous thrombosis, or major bleeding). Multivariate...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a major complication of diabetes, is characterized by hypertrophy, extracellular matrix accumulation, fibrosis and proteinuria leading to loss renal function. Hypertrophy factor inducing proximal tubular epithelial cells injury. However, the mechanisms injury not well defined. In our study, we show that exposure rats high glucose (HG) resulted in increased accumulation hypertrophy. HG treatment ROS production was associated with alteration CYPs 4A 2C11 expression...
Abstract Background Laparoscopic surgery has become a standard of care for many gynecological surgeries due to its lower morbidity, pain and cost compared open techniques. Unfortunately, the use carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) insufflate abdomen is main contributor post-operative shoulder pain. Methods We aim assess effect postoperative Trendelenburg position on after laparoscopic procedures. hypothesize that maintaining patient in 24 h postoperatively will significantly decrease analgesic...
The clinical indications for a complete para-aortic lymphadenectomy in the surgical management of gynaecological malignancies remain controversial. debate on node dissection is hindered by absence an identifiable and accepted definition procedure systematic (complete) dissection. In this paper we propose classification lymphadenectomy. We have identified imaged most common rare vascular anomalies that encountered. An understanding anatomical area also provides useful reference technique...
Background: The treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis requires a complex, multidisciplinary approach. Some centres have established teams (MDT) regular meetings. There are currently no international data or recommendations. Objectives: To examine existing MDT meetings define consensus recommendations to support implementation conduct. Materials Methods: Online questionnaires were sent through the European Endometriosis League (EEL) based on Delphi protocol. After literature review...
Ovarian/adnexal torsion is a rather frequent occurrence in women of reproductive age group worldwide. Etiologies are quite diverse with ovarian lesions and corpus luteal cysts being the most two common. Pelvic or intravaginal ultrasound remains first-line imaging modality used for diagnosis evaluation suspected ovarian/adnexal torsion. In this study, we have adopted case-based statistical analysis to identify important sonographic markers further evaluated their contribution identifying Our...
Although main obstacles for entry routes (transgastric, transvesical, and transrectal) in natural orifices transluminal endoscopic surgery are closure of the incision infection issues, transvaginal route seems to be most used. There is no doubt that classic colpotomy a valid option. Nevertheless, this approach can difficult time consuming. From our experience with fertiloscopy via vaginal access using an existing disposable trocar, we describe new safe simple technique surgery.
