RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to describe an operative technique for vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and assess the costs, perioperative, and oncological outcomes for this procedure when used in the treatment of patients with low-risk endometrial cancer (LREC). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of medical records was conducted on patients who underwent VH to treat precursor and invasive endometrial lesions between April 2019 and November 2021 at a single center in São Paulo, Brazil. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean patient age was 61.9 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 34. Obese patients (BMI ≥ 30) accounted for 77% of the sample. Preoperative functional capacity measures were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1 and ECOG-2 for 91% and 9% of the patients, respectively. The mean operative time and length of hospital stay were 109 min and 1.2 days, respectively. Four patients had a conversion of the surgical route to laparotomy. No major intraoperative complications were observed. Patients who underwent surgical conversion had a greater uterine volume (227 versus 107 mL, p = 0.006) and longer operative time (177 versus 96 min, p = 0.001). The total cost associated with VH was, on average, US$ 2058.77 (R$ 10,925.91), representing 47% of the cost associated with non-vaginal routes. Twenty-eight patients received a definitive diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma; of these, three received adjuvant radiotherapy. The mean follow-up period was 34.6 months for the patients diagnosed with cancer. One case of disease recurrence occurred 16.6 months after surgery, with one death at 28.6 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that VH could be a feasible and cost-effective alternative for selected patients with LREC in low-resource settings.

Objetivo: Identificar o impacto da histerectomia para patologias benignas sobre a sexualidade feminina. Métodos: Revisão de literatura com busca na plataforma PubMed, sendo selecionados 23 artigos em português e inglês publicados entre 2016 e 2021. Resultados: Foi descrita, majoritariamente, melhora na função sexual após histerectomia, semelhante às abordagens totais ou supracervicais e independentemente da via de acesso cirúrgico, apesar de impacto ligeiramente menor com a via laparoscópica. Na laparoscopia, houve melhor desfecho sexual no fechamento da cúpula vaginal, quando comparado ao fechamento via vaginal. Ademais, a ooforectomia concomitante apresentou resultados conflitantes e inconclusivos. Conclusão: A histerectomia afeta positivamente a saúde sexual feminina e aspectos técnicos podem interferir na função sexual, porém os dados são limitados. Devido à importância do tema, necessitam-se de mais estudos com metodologias padronizadas para possibilitar análises mais detalhadas.
Objective: To identify the impact of hysterectomy for benign pathologies on female sexuality. Methods: Literature review with search on PubMed platform, being selected 23 articles in Portuguese and English published between 2016 and 2021. Results: Improvement in sexual function after hysterectomy was mostly described, being similar in total or supracervical approaches and independent of the surgical access route, although it had slightly lower impact when laparoscopic. In the laparoscopic approach, there was better sexual outcome in the vaginal dome closure when compared to vaginal closure. In addition, concomitant oophorectomy showed conflicting and inconclusive results. Conclusion: Hysterectomy positively affects female sexual health and technical aspects may interfere with sexual function, but data are limited. Due to the importance of the theme, more studies with standardized methodologies are needed to enable more detailed analyses.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe, from a historical perspective, the relevance, resilience and outcomes of vaginal hysterectomy (VH) in gynecology in the age of technological scenario. METHODS: The authors searched records from January 2011 to January 2021 on the following databases: Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library) for combinations of the terms "vaginal hysterectomy," "outcomes" AND "history"; and before that period, if the search had historical relevance. INCLUSION CRITERIA: randomized clinical trials; hysterectomy performed for benign gynecological conditions; and VH outcomes compared with Abdominal Hysterectomy (AH), Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (LH) or Robotic Hysterectomy (RH). RESULTS: The VH combines sequences of reproducible techniques which have been developed over the years to safely and effectively overcome the limitations of difficult cases of vaginal extirpation from the uterus. CONCLUSION: The authors support endoscopic surgical approaches in complex surgery for benign indications, urogynecology, and gynecologic oncology when appropriate. However, what makes the gynecological surgeon different from the general surgeon is the vaginal access. It is essential to continue to train residents in vaginal surgical skills and provide safe and cost-effective patient care. The art of technology is the resilience of keeping only the patient at the center of innovation.

PURPOSE: Despite the establishment of radical surgery for therapy of cervical cancer, data on quality of life and patient-reported outcomes are scarce. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate bladder, bowel and sexual function in women who underwent minimally invasive surgery for early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS: From 2007-2013, 261 women underwent laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy (LARVH = 45), vaginally assisted laparoscopic or robotic radical hysterectomy (VALRRH = 61) or laparoscopic total mesometrial resection (TMMR = 25) and 131 of them completed the validated German version of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (PFQ). Results were compared with controls recruited from gynecological clinics (n = 24) and with urogynecological patients (n = 63). RESULTS: Groups were similar regarding age, BMI and parity. The TMMR group had significantly shorter median follow-up (16 months versus 70 and 36 months). Postoperatively, deterioration of bladder function was reported by 70%, 57% and 44% in the LARVH, VARRVH and TMMR groups, respectively (p = 0.734). Bowel function was significantly worse after TMMR with a higher deterioration rate in 72 versus 43% (LARVH) and 47% (VARRVH) with a correspondingly higher bowel dysfunction score of 2.9 versus 1.5 and 1.8, respectively and 1.8 in urogynaecological patients. Sexual dysfunction was common in all surgical groups. 38% considered their vagina too short which was significantly associated with deep dyspareunia. Compared with controls, surgical groups had significantly increased PFQ scores. CONCLUSION: Pelvic floor dysfunction commonly deteriorates and negatively impacts on quality of life after minimally invasive radical hysterectomy, especially bowel function after TMMR. Pelvic floor symptoms should routinely be addressed pre- and postoperatively.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate initial results of a ambulatory major surgery program in Gynecology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective, descriptive study of the period March 2018 to June 2019. The interventions included were: surgical sterilizations via vaginal, minilap and laparoscopic, diagnostic laparoscopy, laparoscopic cyst or anexectomy, hysteroscopy, TOT, vaginal plasty, biopsy curettage, polypectomy, extraction of IUD under anesthesia, labiaplasty, and removal of transobsturatrix tape. Quality indicators such as suspension, readmissions and systemic and surgical complications have been analyzed. RESULTS: 136 patients were operated by CMA of which 43 were laparoscopic (31.6%), 55 patients vaginally (40.4%), 34 histeroscopy (25%) and 4 patients by minilap (3%)There were 4 minor and late complications (2.9%) that corresponded to operative wound infection in vaginal plasty and nymphoplasty, a dysfunctional TOT tape that had to be removed in a mediated manner and a PIP post surgical sterilization via vaginal route. CONCLUSIONS: Gynecological ambulatory major surgery is feasible to perform in a hospital of medium complexity with a low percentage of minor complications in this study.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: We compared vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral sacrospinous fixation plus an anterior polyvinylidene fluoride mesh versus abdominal sacrocolpopexy for the treatment of primary apical prolapse in postmenopausal women. METHODS: A prospective, randomized, single-blind, parallel study [Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Clinicos (REBEC) trial register code RBR-7t6rg2] was performed from October 2015 to May 2016. A total of 71 postmenopausal women with advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and undergoing surgery were randomized to the abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC) (n = 36) or the vaginal sacrospinous fixation with anterior mesh (VSF-AM) (n = 35) groups. Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system classification was performed for objective assessment, and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) questionnaires were filled out for subjective evaluation by women before and 1 year after surgery. All procedures were performed by a single surgeon. RESULTS: Both groups had improvement in almost POP-Q points (except for vaginal length in the VSF-AM group) and all ICIQ scores. The ASC group had a longer operative time (129 versus 117 min, p = 0.0038) and duration for return to activities (103 versus 57 days, p < .05). Four women (11%) in the VSF-AM group were reoperated versus none from the ASC group (p = .05). CONCLUSIONS: Although the study did not achieve the planned recruitment, after 12 months of follow-up, ASC did not differ from VSF-AM in objective and subjective scores (ICIQ questionnaires; POP-Q measurements). Recovery time was longer after open abdominal surgery.

Las enfermedades reumáticas pertenecen a un grupo que provocan manifestaciones clínicas en varios sistemas de órganos de la anatomía humana. Las complicaciones ginecobstétricas no son las que con mayor frecuencia se presentan. La enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional agrupa un conjunto de lesiones benignas como la mola hidatiforme y la neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional. Este trabajo se propone presentar un caso con los elementos clínicos e imagenológicos que permiten llegar al diagnóstico de una mola hidatiforme. Se trata de una paciente de 48 años de edad, con diagnóstico de lupus eritematoso sistémico, que acude con manifestaciones clínicas que permitieron llegar al diagnóstico de enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional con mola hidatiforme completa. Las enfermedades reumáticas, en especial el lupus eritematoso sistémico, provocan complicaciones ginecobstétricas. La enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional con mola hidatiforme completa, a pesar de ser una rara entidad, afecta considerablemente el bienestar biopsicosocial de las pacientes y disminuye su percepción de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud(AU)
Rheumatic diseases fit in a group that cause clinical manifestations in various organ systems of the human anatomy. Gyneco-obstetric complications are those that occur less frequently. Gestational trophoblastic disease groups together benign lesions such as hydatidiform mole and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. This paper intends to present a case with the clinical and imaging elements that allow the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole. We present a 48-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, who presents with clinical manifestations that led to the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease with complete hydatidiform mole. Rheumatic diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus, cause gyneco-obstetric complications. Although being a rare entity, the gestational trophoblastic disease with complete hydatidiform mole greatly affects the biopsychosocial wellbeing of patients and decreases their perception of health-related quality of life(AU)

ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the effect of vaginal hysterectomy-anterior/posterior colporrhaphy with Kelly's plication(VH-KP), versus vaginal hysterectomy-anterior/posterior colporrhaphy-transobturator tape(VH-TOT) surgeries on incontinence, quality of life, and sexual functions in patients with pelvic organ prolapse(POP), and concurrent obvious stress urinary incontinence(SUI). Materials and Methods: Between 2013 and 2017, fifty patients treated with VH-KP(n = 25), and VH-TOT(n = 25) due to POP and SUI, were evaluated prospective consecutively. Age, parity, duration of urinary incontinence, and the daily pad use were recorded. Patients were filled "rinary Distress Inventory-6(UDI-6)", "Incontinence Impact Questionnaire 7(IIQ-7)" and "Index of Female Sexual Function(IFSI)" questionnaire forms at preoperatively, and postoperative 6th month. No usage of pads was accepted as subjective cure rate. Intraoperative, and postoperative complications were noted. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between two groups, for the mean age of the patients, parity, duration of SUI, and the daily pad use, preoperatively (p > 0.05). Decreased UDI-6 scores, IIQ-7 scores and daily pad usage, and increased IFSF scores were found statistical significantly in each group, at the postoperative 6 th month (p < 0.05). However, VH-TOT group had higher improvement rates, on UDI-6 scores (69.5% vs 63.0%, p = 0.04). In addition, it was notable that the the rates of the patients had IFSF scores ≥ 25 was higher in VH-KP group (p = 0.05). Four (16%) patients had recurrent SUI in the VH-KP group (p = 0.039) and vaginal extrusion occurred in 2 (8%) patients in the VH-TOT group (p = 0.153), postoperatively. Conclusions: Although the effects of VH-TOT surgery are superior to conventional methods for incontinence and quality of life; negative effects on sexual functions are notable. In addition, although recurrence rates of TOT are low, complications such as vaginal extrusion are accompanied by drawbacks of mesh usage.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La histerectomía es la extirpación quirúrgica del útero, cuyas técnicas quirúrgicas han evolucionado a través del tiempo; es una de las cirugías ginecológicas más frecuentes en el mundo. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la frecuencia de complicaciones postquirúrgicas por vía de abordaje y correlacionarlas con factores de riesgo. MÉTODOS: Se diseñó un estudio retrospectivo. Se seleccionó al total de mujeres sometidas quirúrgicamente a histerectomía durante los años 2014 y 2015, el universo lo conformó 409 mujeres intervenidas, de las cuales se obtuvo una muestra de 384, en el servicio de Ginecología. El análisis estadístico se realizó en la herramienta estadística SPSS 17.0. En el análisis de los resultados se utilizaron el test de U Mann-Whitney, Chi cuadrado y Riesgo Relativo. RESULTADOS: El promedio de edad fue 85 % con una edad menor a 50 años. El tiempo medio de procedimiento quirúrgico fue 104 minutos, y un tiempo de hospitalización promedio de 2.7 días. Los antecedentes patológicos fueron la cirugía gineco-obstétrica previa 62 %. El 88 % de las histerectomías fueron por la vía abdominal. La incidencia total de complicaciones en general fue del 3.38 %; el 100 % de las complicaciones se presentaron en la histerectomía abdominal. No existió correlación estadística significativa con factores de riesgo como la obesidad (P 0.15 y RR: 0.39). CONCLUSIONES: La histerectomía vaginal tiene menos complicaciones postquirúrgicas, menos días de hospitalización y un menor tiempo quirúrgico comparado con el abordaje de la vía abdominal. Es recomendable realizar más estudios en otros establecimientos de salud en el Ecuador y comparar las diferentes vía de abordaje incluido la vía laparoscópica.
BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, whose surgical techniques have evolved over time; it is one of the most frequent gynecological surgeries in the world. The objective of the study was to evaluate the frequency of postsurgical complications through theapproach and correlate them with risk factors. METHODS: A retrospective study was designed. The total number of women surgically undergoing hysterectomy was selected during the years 2014 and 2015. The universe consisted of 409 women undergoing surgery, of whom a sample of 384 was obtained at the Gynecology Department. The statistical analysis was realized in the statistical tool SPSS 17.0. In the analysis of the results, U Mann-Whitney test, Chi square and Relative Risk were used. RESULTS: It was obtained that the average age was 85 % with an age under 50 years. The average time of surgical procedure was 104 minutes, and an average hospitalization time of 2.7 days. The pathological antecedents were the gynecological-obstetric surgery previous 62 %. 88 % of the hysterectomies. The total incidence of complications due to hysterectomy in general was 3.38 %; 100 % of complications occurred in abdominal hysterectomy. There was no significant statistical correlation with risk factors such as obesity (P 0.15 and RR: 0.39). CONCLUSIONS: Vaginal hysterectomy has fewer postsurgical complications, less days of hospitalization and a shorter surgical time compared to the abdominal approach; however, abdominal hysterectomy is the most frequent of treatment choice. It is recommendable to realize more studies in other health institutions in Ecuador.
