1/3. Fallopian tube prolapse after laparoscopic resection of pelvic endometriosis.BACKGROUND: Fallopian tube prolapse is an unusual but often reported complication after hysterectomy. This problem has not yet been reported in a patient undergoing laparoscopy but not hysterectomy. CASE: Fallopian tube prolapse was diagnosed in a patient after laparoscopic excision of pelvic endometriosis, without hysterectomy. The prolapsed fallopian tube was preserved by laparoscopic retrieval from the vagina and closure of the vaginoperitoneal fistula. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic surgery, when associated with the creation of a vaginoperitoneal fistula, is a risk factor for fallopian tube prolapse. This problem can be diagnosed and safely managed with a laparoscopic approach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Complications associated with surgical repair of urethrovaginal fistula.We present 4 patients seen in the last five years with urethrovaginal fistulas involving the mid or proximal urethra. Our experience in the transvaginal repair of these fistulas has been disappointing. The best chance for the development of a functioning continent urethra is by suprapubic bladder flap technique or bladder tube replacement with suprapubic urinary diversion. We suggest that no urethral catheter be placed. Complications following surgical repair have been fistula recurrence, urethral shortening and retraction, persistent reflux, bladder calculi, and bladder cancer.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0020229235888664keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Genital abnormalities in females with bardet-biedl syndrome.The major manifestations of the bardet-biedl syndrome are digital anomalies, tapetoretinal degeneration, obesity, renal abnormalities, and hypogenitalism (described mainly in males). We report on 2 girls with bardet-biedl syndrome who also had vaginal atresia. A similar association in females with bardet-biedl syndrome was suggested in published reports of 11 affected individuals who had structural genital abnormalities, (some of which were missed in childhood), including persistent urogenital sinus, ectopic urethra, hypoplasia of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, uterus duplex, and septate vagina. The association of atresia of the vagina and other malformations of female genital structures in individuals with bardet-biedl syndrome has often been missed in childhood and should be looked for more systematically.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4939312292334keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
