Background: To determine the association of trainees involvement with surgical outcomes of abdominal and laparoscopic myomectomy including operative time, rate of transfusion, and complications.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 1145 patients who underwent an abdominal or laparoscopic myomectomy from 2008-2012 using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2).
Results: Overall, 64% of myomectomies involved trainees.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in telehealth usage, particularly for postoperative visits in various surgical specialties, including gynecology and robotics.
- A study involving 33 patients who had robotic gynecologic procedures found that those participating in telehealth visits reported high satisfaction, with a mean score just below 'excellent', and only 6.3% needing an in-person follow-up.
- The satisfaction with telehealth visits was notably linked to participants' BMI, indicating that while telehealth is generally safe and well-received, factors like weight may influence patient experiences.
Study Objectives: To examine the current use of routine preoperative laboratory testing in low-risk patients undergoing ambulatory gynecologic surgery and to determine if such testing affects surgical outcomes.
Design: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried for ambulatory gynecologic surgeries between 2015 and 2018. Low-risk patients included in this study were defined as being American Society of Anesthesiologists class 1 or 2.
Absent Ureteral Efflux after Hysterectomy Leads to Diagnosis of Ureteral Atresia with Renal Atrophy.
Case Rep Obstet Gynecol
January 2020
Iatrogenic injury to the urinary system is a known complication of gynecologic surgery; therefore, intraoperative cystoscopy is frequently performed to assess for such injuries. However, if an abnormality is seen, the differential diagnosis extends beyond iatrogenic causes. A 42-year-old patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and had absent efflux from the right ureteral orifice on cystoscopy.
