Abstract

Background

This report presents the incidence of complications and conversions during laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy performed for invasive cervical carcinoma. The data are analyzed, and strategies to help prevent future complications are discussed.

Methods

From July 2000 to December 2005 at the authors’ institution, 317 laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy procedures for invasive cervical carcinoma were performed. The authors reviewed the database of patients who underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy to examine complications and analyze factors associated with conversion to an open surgical procedure.

Results

All but four surgical procedures were laparoscopically completed. Pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed for all the remaining 313 patients, 143 of whom underwent paraaortic lymphadenectomy. Major and minor intraoperative complications occurred for 4.4% (n = 14) of the patients. The overall conversion rate was 1.3% (n = 4), including 3 emergencies and 1 elective conversion. Seven patients had vessel injuries, five of which were repaired or treated laparoscopically. One left external iliac vein required laparotomy, and one patient underwent laparotomy to control bleeding sites. Operative cystotomies occurred in five patients, which were repaired laparoscopically. Two patients underwent laparotomy because of hypercapnia and ascending colon injury. Postoperative surgery complications occurred in 5.1% (n = 16) of the patients, including 5 patients with ureterovaginal fistula, 4 with vesicovaginal fistula requiring reoperation, 1 with ureterostenosis treated by placement of a double-J ureteral stent, and 6 with bladder dysfunctions (retention) that exhibited complete resolution within 3 to 6 months by intermittent training and catheterization.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy is becoming a routine procedure in the armamentarium of many gynecologists. Complications unique to laparoscopy do exist, but they decrease with repeated training of the procedure and gradually enriched experiences.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
