procedure
Classification
Benign = midline with blunt instrument, no suction
Intermediate = perforation with suction on, no abdominal content are seen
or serious bleeding
Serious = perforation with suction on, and abdominal contents (bowel,
omentum, etc) seen or heavy bleeding occurs
Other complication of
gynaecological procedures
Dilation and curettage
Salpingectomy
Salpingostomy
Myomectomy
1. (D&C) dilatation and curettage -
Complications
Ureteral injuries
Bowel injury
Bladder injury
Heamorrhage (most serious postoperative complication)
Infection (most common postoperative complication)
Atelectasis, fallopian tube prolapse, thromboembolic disease, myocardial infarction,
stroke, and renal failure.
Early menopause (hormonal changes secondary to hesterectomy)
Psychological effect
Myomectomy
Myomectomy
Definition
Removal of leiomyomas (fibroids) from their surrounding myometrium.
Consent
Risk of significant bleeding and transfusion
Risk of uncontrolled heamorrhage
Risk of extensive myometrial injury during tumour removal
May need conversion to hysterectomy (risk convert into open surgery- especially multiple large
masses or locate in broad ligament, near corneua, involvement of cervix)
Postoperatively, risk of adhesion formation
Leiomyomas recurrence (especially laparoscopic myomectomy, may missed small deep intramural
leiomyomas, cause dont have surgeons tactile sensation)
Possible next delivery be cesarean delivery (based on extent of myometrial disruption during
myomectomy)
Risk of bowel injury
Myomectomy -preoperatively
Antibiotic prophylaxis
(Iverson and coworker, 1996)
Generally not required
Analysis of open myomectomy, 54% received prophylaxis, infectious morbidity was not
lowered compared to those which does not received antibiotic prophylaxis
Vaginal preparation
Risk of conversion to hysterectomy (done prior surgical draping)
DVT prophylaxis
If patient have DVT risk factors
Laparoscopic myomectomy -
intraoperative (surgical steps)
Anesthesia and patient positioning
Trocar and laparoscope insertion
Use of vasopressin
Serosal incision
Tumour enucleation
Bleeding
Myometrial closure
Serosal closure
Leiomyoma removal
Laparoscopically assisted myomectomy (LAM)
Hysteroscopic myomectomy -
intraoperative (surgical steps)
Anesthesia and patient positioning
Medium selection
Cervical dilatation
Instrument insertion
Resection
Intramural leiomyomas
Fluid volume deficit
Homostasis
Laparoscopic myomectomy -
postoperative
Hospitalization 0-1 days
Monitor for return of normal bowel function
Monitor for fever (>38C) possible causes (atelectasis, myomectrial incisional
hematomas and factors released with myometrial destruction)
Postoperative activity (individualize, but vigorous exercise usually delayed until
4 weeks after surgery)
Hysteroscopic myomectomy -
postoperative
Hopitalisation 0-1 days
Spotting or light bleeding may follow surgery for 1-2 weeks
Monitor for return of normal bowel function
Monitor for fever (>38C) posibble causes (atelectasis, myomectrial incisional
hematomas and factors released with myometrial destruction)
Postoperative may resume diet and activity (individualize, but vigorous exercise
usually delayed until 4 weeks after surgery)
For patient desiring pregnancy, conception may be attempted in menstrual cycle
after resection, unless the leiomyomas was broadbased or significant intramural
component. (these patient advised for use barrier constraception for 3 cycles),
women fail to conceive or continue have abnormal bleeding following resection,
postoperative hysterosalpingography or hysteroscopy is recommede to evaluate for
synechiae.
Ovarian cystectomy
Ovarian cystectomy
Definition
Removal of ovarian cysts (usually prompted by patient symptoms or concerns of
ovarian ma
Method
Laparoscopically
Laparotomy (when cyst is large, adhesive disease limits aaccess and mobility, or risk of
malignancy is great)
