Filter by:To determine if opioid consumption postoperatively among patients undergoing non-emergent laparotomy by the gynecologic oncology service who receive intrathecal morphine with intraoperative lidocaine (IML) infusion are lower than patients who have epidural anesthesia with PCA (EPCA).
The main objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions, as defined in the paper by Van den Bosch T, Dueholm M, ea. in 2015, to differentiate between different types of myometrial lesions of more than 1 cm. The primary aim is the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions and the secondary aim the development of a prediction model.
The development of precise and non-invasive diagnostic methods is a priority in areas such as gynaecology and oncology, and above all in improving the health of those patients with a surgical indication for hysterectomy, laparoscopic or laparotomic myomectomy for diagnosis of uterine tumours. Indeed, in the absence of an accurate and objective preoperative diagnostic option, all patients with suspected benign tumours should be considered at risk for occult leiomyosarcoma. Recently, the concept of "liquid biopsy" has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsies for solid tumours with highly recurrent mutations, avoiding the sampling of tumour tissue before and after treatment. Generally, the liquid biopsy is obtained by taking a sample of blood or other body fluids, to provide tumour-specific information. Based on these premises, a prospective, observational and multicentre case-control study is proposed, the objective of which is to evaluate the diagnostic precision (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value) in the detection of molecular differences by liquid biopsy in patients with suspected myometrial tumour (leiomyoma / leiomyosarcoma). Depending on the results of these analysis, the application of this technology could allow the differential diagnosis of the tumour in a non-invasive and objective way, as well as the development of biomarkers and effective targeted therapies in the treatment of leiomyosarcomas. Consequently, we would also be increasing our knowledge of tumour biology and associated pathologies in a clinical and therapeutic context.
The purpose of this research study is to find out which type of transversus abdomens plane (TAP) and block (bupivacaine, liposomal bupivacaine or liposomal bupivacaine with re-dosing at 48-60 hours) improves your pain control and lowers your risk of post-operative common side effects of surgery and narcotic pain medications.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The study aims to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of the OPPIuM technique combined with myolysis using the DWLS diode laser. In addition, to evaluate the reduction of myoma volume and the extent of uterine bleeding with myolysis to improve women's quality of life and avoid resectoscope hysteroscopy for a G2 MIOMA, which may lead to an increase in intraoperative surgical risks and long-term complications. POPULATION 35 patients aged between 18 and 48 years with clinical and/or ultrasound diagnosis of uterine fibromatosis, belonging to the Endometriosis/Pelvic Chronic Pain Centre of the Complex Operating Unit of Gynecology of the University Polyclinic of Monserrato and other centers involved in the study. To be eligible for inclusion, patients with ultrasound and hysteroscopic diagnosis of a single submucosal myoma, partially intramural (G1 or G2) ≤ 3 cm, must present symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain, for which surgical treatment was scheduled. INCLUSION CRITERIA - Women between 18 and 48 years old - Diagnosis of symptomatic uterine fibromatosis (abnormal uterine bleeding and/or pelvic pain) with single fibroma ≤ 3 cm G1 or G2. EXCLUSION CRITERIA Patients who cannot provide written informed consent or follow the procedures set out in the protocol. - Patients with malignant neoplasms or serious systemic diseases - Patients with multiple fibroids or single > 3 cm - Asymptomatic patients - Patients with other uterine or related diseases - Patients seeking a pregnancy. INTERVENTION STRATEGY AND INSTRUMENTS A total of 35 women will initially be included in the study, of which: Patients will undergo the following assessments: - Collection of physiological, pathological, and pharmacological anamnesis - Collection of diagnostic tests (ultrasound) and staging of the underlying disease (uterine fibromatosis) - Completion of the PBAC questionnaire - Transvaginal ultrasound - Office diagnostic hysteroscopy with OPPIuM and Myolysis - Possible resectoscope hysteroscopy or laser myomectomy in narcosis.
This prospective randomized trial aims to assess if the operative time of vaginal cuff suture performed by trainees could be reduced using 3D laparoscopy instead of 4K laparoscopy.
A phase 3 multicenter unblinded randomized controlled trial comparing the temporary uterine blood supply occlusion with conventional approach during laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with uterine leiomyoma.
We aim to explore some of the molecular factors that reduce fertility for women with leiomyomas, taking into account leiomyoma location, size, number and vascularity. Tissue samples from the endometrium and leiomyomas will be obtained during the mid secretory phase before and 3-6 months after surgical excision for a comprehensive search for key molecular derangements.
The aim of this observational retrospective analysis is to evaluate predictive factors for complete myoma resection during hysteroscopic myomectomy for developing and validating a nomogram. This tool can help clinicians to support the patient in making an informed decision about therapeutic options for uterine submucous myomas by defining risk factors predicting a high complexity myomectomy.
This is a Double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial based at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Subjects who are identified in clinic having menorrhagia or abnormal Uterine bleeding (AUB) due to uterine fibroids and meet inclusion criteria based on the ultrasound (US) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), aged 18-45 undergoing laparoscopic or Robotic assisted myomectomies. A total of 50 women in each arm of the study with symptomatic fibroids. Patients will be randomized to receive a single IV bolus injection of TXA 30mg/kg in 50ml of normal saline (intervention group) versus an IV bolus injection of normal saline of equivalent volume (placebo group) 15 minutes prior to initial surgical incision.
