Presacral venous bleeding during mobilization in rectal cancer

To analyze the anatomy of sacral venous plexus flow, the causes of injuries and the methods for controlling presacral hemorrhage during surgery for rectal cancer.METHODSA review of the databases MEDLINE® and Embase™ was conducted, and relevant scientific articles published between January 1960 and June 2016 were examined. The anatomy of the sacrum and its venous plexus, as well as the factors that influence bleeding, the causes of this complication, and its surgical management were defined.RESULTSThis is a review of 58 published articles on presacral venous plexus injury during the mobilization of the rectum and on techniques used to treat presacral venous bleeding. Due to the lack of cases published in the literature, there is no consensus on which is the best technique to use if there is presacral bleeding during mobilization in surgery for rectal cancer. This review may provide a tool to help surgeons make decisions regarding how to resolve this serious complication.CONCLUSIONA series of alternative treatments are described; however, a conventional systematic review in which optimal treatment is identified could not be performed because few cases were analyzed in most publications.

Surgical treatment of locally advanced anal cancer after male-to-female sex reassignment surgery

We present a case of a transsexual patient who underwent a partial pelvectomy and genital reconstruction for anal cancer after chemoradiation. This is the first case in literature reporting on the occurrence of anal cancer after male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. We describe the surgical approach presenting our technique to avoid postoperative complications and preserve the sexual reassignment.

Iatrogenic Female Genital Fistula, 35 Cases Report

Introduction: Female genital fistula (FGF), remains a world concern, especially in low developed country. Obstructive (blocked) delivery labor is his principal cause, sometimes by pelvic surgery (urogenital or obstetrical, rectal) more rarely by congenital urogenital malformation, excision, pelvic neoplasm, pelvic radiotherapy. We were interested in iatrogenic FGF treated in the special referral fistula center. Methodology: We report 35 cases of iatrogenic female genital fistula. Are included only cases by urogenital surgery, excision in the National Referal Center of Obstetrical Fistula. Were not included cases happened by over 12 hours blocked delivery labor, caustic destruction, pelvic cancer pelvic infection and those with incomplete file. The epidemiologic, clinical and therapeutic information were studied. All ethical protocols were respected. Results: CNRFO recorded 743 cases of female genital fistula from May 23 2013 to May 23 May 2018 within 35 iatrogenic cases (4.71%). Patients were 19 - 29 years old (42.85%), average age 35 years old, extremes 19 - 60 years, without occupation (82.86), grand multiparous 48.57%, with a mean of 4 previous deliveries. The principal constancies were hysterectomies 71.43%, caesarean section 17.14%, genital excision 11.42%, and cystocele cure 11.42%. The anatomical finds were soft vagina tissue 97.14% uretero-vaginal fistula 45.71% (2 cases post Caesarean, 14 cases post hysterectomy), vesico-vaginal 31.43% (all post hysterectomy), ureteral 11.42% (all post caesarean), 1 vesico-uterine 5.71% (case post caesarean), 1 case after a cystocele cure, 2 uretro-vaginal 11.42% secondary of genital excision. Treatment was ureteral reimplantation (18/31) cases by abdominal way, fistulorraphy (12/31) and 1uretroplasty by vaginal, 4 cases treated with transurethral bladder probe. 30 were cured by fistulas surgery, 1 urinary tress incontinency and 1 not closed, and 4 of transurethral bladder probe were cured. Conclusion: The female genital fistula is sometimes the consequence of Caesarean, hysterectomy, gynecological surgery, urologic surgery and some traditional practices.

New considerations regarding pelvic organ prolapse treatment in China

Pelvic organ prolapse （POP） is non-fatal conditions which can markedly affect a patient’s quality of life. Multiple recently developed pelvic reconstructive surgeries have led to a recent expansion in China. In this study, we would like to discuss various aspects of the evaluation and management of POP and raise the question of what is sufficient evidence for the adoption of innovative treatments for POP.

Using a needle for sacrospinous ligament fixation for pelvic organ prolapse based on the Miyazaki technique

Background:Approximately 7%of all women will require surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse during their lives.Of these,approximately 10%-13%will require another operation within 5 years due to recurrence of the disease.Increases in life expectancy and elderly individuals with estrogen deficiencies will mean higher rates of pelvic organ prolapse,significantly reducing the quality of life for millions of people.This study introduces technologies that can help treat pelvic prolapse while reducing the rate of recurrence.Methods:This paper outlines how to properly perform sacrospinous ligament fixation using the Miyazaki technique.Results:A needle was used to successfully perform a sacrospinous ligament fixation using Miyazaki's technique.Conclusions:Considering the Food and Drug Administration’s 2019 decision to permit surgeries with native tissue,this method can be used with sacrospinous ligament fixation as the primary treatment option for pelvic organ prolapse.
