She was admitted to our hospital with rectal bleeding and constipation. We performed several workups. Colonoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography showed sigmoid colon stenosis caused by submucosal tumor, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a sigmoid colon tumor displaying signal hy- pointensity on both T1- and T2-weighted imaging. However, colonoscopic ultrasonography-assisted needle aspiration biopsy could not specify tumor characteristics. From these examinations, the lesion was diagnosed as sigmoid colon endometriosis and laparoscopy-assisted sigmoidectomy was performed. Pathological diagnosis from the resected specimen was identical to preoperative diagnosis, i.e., colonic endometriosis. Since differential diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis seems difficult, a cautious preoperative diagnosis is required to select treatments including minimally invasive surgery.展开更多

Materials and methods. A retrospective study was carried out in 74 patients with fibroids >3cm from March, 1995 until May,2000 at PUMC Hospital. Indications for surgery were symptomatic fibroids（ 20 cases） , mainly pain or urine frequency； progressively increasing fibroid size (7 cases)； coexistent adnexal pathology（ 26 cases） and infertility（ 21 cases） . Results. The number of fibroids of each patient varied from 1 to 4 with single fibroid of 62 cases (83.7％ ).The fibroids were located in anterior wall (30 cases), posterior wall (23 cases) and fundus (21 cases). A total of 93 fibroids were removed from these patients including 16 intramural fibroids and 77 subserous fibroids. The size of dominant fibroids ranged from 3～ 8 cm (mean 4.8 cm). In 19 cases (25.6％ ),the uterine wall was sutured in one layer. Mean duration of operation was 73 minutes and mean blood loss was 82 ml. Longer operating time and more blood loss were observed in patients with fibroids≥ 4cm than those with fibroids < 4cm. The difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Mean postoperative hospital stay was 3.2 days and overall complication rate was 1.4％ . The average postoperative follow- up period was 22 months (1～ 62 months). All the patients with symptoms showed remission of their complaints at 2- month follow- up. Recurrence of fibroid occurred in 1 case 1 year after initial operation and second laparoscopic myomectomy was given to her successfully. Five patients became pregnant. The pregnancy was uneventful and proceeded to selective caesarean section at term pregnancy in 4 cases. One miscarriage occured at 8 weeks in the 5th case. No adhesions at myomectomy site were found in these 5 patients. Conclusions. Our study suggests the feasibility of laparoscopic myomectomy in selected patients, which leads to effectiveness, low complication rate and satisfactory remission of symptoms. Further study on recurrence and fertility must be continued.展开更多

Method.Six cases of adolescent endometriosis in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Result. Endometriosis is the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain in adolescents. There may be a natural progression of endometriosis from atypical lesions in adolescents to classic lesions in adults. Congenital abnormalities of the reproductive tract are the main reasons for the adolescent endometriosis. Conclusion. Endometriosis should be strongly suspected in adolescent girls with chronic pelvic pain,especially unresponsive to oral contraceptives and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The treatment involves the operations and medicines.展开更多

Methods： select 76 cases of endometrial cancer patients, divided into two groups, 40 in laparoscopic-alone group and 36 in laparoscopic-assisted group, and compare operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, lymph node number, anal exhaust time, indwelling catheter days and hospitalization days by group. Result： compared with laparoscopic-alone surgery, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal surgery has certain advantages in reducing intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative complications, anal exhaust time, indwelling catheter days and hospitalization days. Discussion： laparoscopic-assisted vaginal surgery is a relatively safe, effective and good economic benefit surgical method in treatment of endometrial cancer.展开更多

When a dense pelvic adhesion was confronted, we used the temporarily low-pressured pneumolaparoscopy to dissect it.Results All procedures were carried out without organ injury, hematorna, or other complications. The operative field can be clearly seen with this method. The mean time for appendagectorny was one hour and for laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy 80 minutes.Conclusion Gasless laparoscopy avoids the complications which occur in the routine laparoscopy such as subcutaneous or mediastinal pneurnatoma, hypercarbonernia, air embolism, cardiopulmonary dysfunction.Our lifting method is simple, convenient, time and money saving, as well as more flexible for treating gynecological conditions.展开更多
