Initial Experience of Articulating Laparoscopic Instruments for Benign Gynecologic Disease: A Single-Arm Multicenter Prospective Study (Korean Gynecologic Oncology Group 4002). J Pers Med 2023; 13:1433. [PMID: 37888044 PMCID: PMC10608162 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13101433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery has evolved with technological advances in many aspects and increasing demand for its benefits in cosmetics, fast recovery, reduced complication rates and pain. However, it still possesses drawbacks such as limited surgical movement due to the nature of rigid laparoscopic instruments. In order to overcome such limitations, several laparoscopic jointed instruments have been developed. In this prospective multicenter, single-arm cohort study, we investigated the short-term safety and feasibility of the new articulating laparoscopic instruments in benign gynecologic surgery. A total of 113 patients who were diagnosed with benign gynecologic adnexal diseases underwent laparoscopic surgery with articulating laparoscopic instruments. Surgical outcomes, including intra/postoperative complication rates, operation time and estimated blood loss, as well as surgeon's subjective evaluation of the usage of the instruments, were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the articulating laparoscopic instruments had comparable usability and produced similar surgical outcomes to conventional laparoscopic surgery. The objective parameters, such as the operative time and complication rates, as well as the subjective parameters, such as the surgeon's own evaluation of the surgical instruments' usability, demonstrated potential benefits of the instruments in benign gynecological diseases. Overall, the study demonstrated that the use of this novel articulating device is feasible in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.

Kang JH, Lee KA, Heo YR, Kim WY, Paik ES. Efficacy of a continuous wound infiltration system for postoperative pain management in gynecologic patients who underwent single-port access laparoscopy for adnexal disease. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1199428. [PMID: 37476613 PMCID: PMC10354268 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1199428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Single-port access (SPA) laparoscopy requires only one incision, unlike conventional laparoscopy. However, its umbilical incision is larger than that of conventional laparoscopy and can be vulnerable to postoperative pain. This study aimed to evaluate whether simultaneous use of a continuous wound infiltration (CWI) system and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) effectively decreases surgical site pain in patients who underwent SPA laparoscopy due to gynecologic adnexal disease. Methods A total of 371 patients who underwent SPA laparoscopy and who received IV PCA or CWI was retrospectively reviewed (combined group [CWI + IV PCA, n = 159] vs. PCA group [IV PCA only, n = 212]). To evaluate postoperative pain management, the numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score after surgery, total amount of fentanyl administered via IV PCA, and additional pain killer consumption were collected. Results The NRS scores at 12 h (1.90 ± 1.11 vs. 2.70 ± 1.08, p < 0.001) and 24 h (1.82 ± 0.82 vs. 2.11 ± 1.44, p = 0.026) after surgery were significantly lower in the combined group than in the PCA group. The total amount of PCA fentanyl was significantly smaller in the combined group than in the PCA group (p < 0.001). The total quantity of rescue analgesics was smaller in the combined group than in the PCA group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Combined use of the CWI system and IV PCA is an effective postoperative pain management strategy in patient who underwent SPA laparoscopy for adnexal disease.

Abstract
Background At the time of recurrence, many borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) patients are still young with fertility needs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reproductive outcomes and recurrence rate of second fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) in women with recurrent BOTs. Methods Seventy-eight women of childbearing age diagnosed with recurrent BOTs from November 2009 to 2020 whose primary treatment was FSS were included. Results The FIGO stage I disease accounted for 46.2% and serous BOT accounted for 87.2% in the study group. Forty-seven patients underwent second FSS, and the remaining 31 underwent radical surgery (RS). Seventeen patients relapsed again after second surgery, but no malignant transformation and tumor-associated deaths were reported. Compared to FIGO stage I, the FIGO stage III tumors were more likely to relapse, but there was no statistical difference in pregnancy rate among patients with different stages. In the second FSS group, recurrence rate was higher in patients who underwent oophorocystectomy compared to patients with unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO), but the pregnancy rate was similar. There was no significant difference in postoperative recurrence risk between USO and RS. The recurrence rate was not associated with operative route (laparoscopy or laparotomy), or lymphadenectomy, or postoperative chemotherapy. Among the 32 patients who tried to conceive, the pregnancy rate was 46.9% and live birth rate was 81.3%. Conclusion Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is a safe procedure for FIGO stage I recurrent BOT patients with fertility needs, and can achieve a high postoperative pregnancy rate and live birth rate.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e27441. [PMID: 34622860 PMCID: PMC8500635 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000027441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT No studies have examined the issue of intraabdominal port-site adhesion following single-port access (SPA) laparoscopic surgeries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the clinical effects of temperature-sensitive adhesion barrier solution in preventing periumbilical adhesion in SPA laparoscopy. This was a prospective, single-arm study in which patients were given GUARDIX-SGTM after SPA laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecologic diseases. One gram of GUARDIX-SGTM was applied on the abdominal viscera just below the umbilical port site and adjacent abdominal wall prior to fascia closure. The primary endpoint was the incidence of postoperative adhesion evaluated by visceral sliding technique through transabdominal sonography after three months. Between June 2019 and March 2020, a total of 37 healthy patients without any history of previous abdominal surgery received SPA laparoscopic surgery by a single surgeon. No postoperative complications such as wound dehiscence or surgical site infection occurred during the follow-up period of three months. No postoperative adhesion around the umbilicus was noted in all 37 patients. The mean visceral movement measured by transabdominal sonography during maximal respiration was 4.9 cm (4.9 ± 1.9 cm). Using an adhesion barrier around the port site prior to fascia closure prevents postoperative adhesion in benign SPA laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
