Background: Uterine leiomyomas are benign monoclonal tumors originating from the myometrium. Little information exists concerning metabolomics and the presence of leiomyomas.
Objective: The present study evaluated circulating metabolites in the plasma and their correlation with the presence and size of leiomyomas.
Study Objective: To show the challenging diagnosis of, and safe robotic surgical approach to, a rare case of disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL).
Design: A clinical case shown by a sequential demonstration of investigation, diagnosis, and surgical approach, with narrated video footage.
Setting: DPL is a rare disease, with only a little more than 150 cases reported in the literature [1].
Objective: To analyze the applicability and efficiency of a multi-approach laparoscopic training in improving basic laparoscopic skills of obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) residents.
Methods: Cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study, developed at the Experimentation and Surgery Training Center (CETEC, in the Portuguese acronym) of the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein with OBGYN residents. Theoretical and practical tests were applied to 24 OBGYN residents to assess their laparoscopic skills before and after their participation in an 8-week course.
Objective: This article presents the first series of robotic single-port hysterectomy cases performed at a hospital in Brazil.
Methods: From November 2014 to October 2016, 11 patients were indicated to undergo, and nine of them were submitted to single-port hysterectomy using da Vinci Single-Site® platform. However, in two patients, due to multiple previous abdominal surgeries, large uterine volume, and/or a uterus with no mobility, a pneumoperitoneum was performed with a Verres needle, and the pelvic cavity was assessed using a 5mm optics endoscope.
