Prolapsed epiploica of bowel after robotic hysterectomy: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:Vaginal cuff dehiscence with evisceration was defined as expulsion of intraperitoneal organs through the separated incision. Prolapsed epiploica of the colon is a rare complication after hysterectomy. The most common organ to prolapsed out from the dehiscence vaginal cuff is terminal ileum. We reported the first known case of prolapsed epiploica of the colon after robotic hysterectomy. Case:This is a case who had prolapse of a vaginal tumor after sexual intercourse 5 months after robotic hysterectomy. Vaginal tumor resection and primary closure were performed successfully without complications. The final pathology revealed fat prolapse with foreign body reaction and confirmed prolapse of epiploica of the colon. Being aware of the risk factors and patients who are more likely to develop this complication is essential in making the correct diagnosis in time. Major conclusion:Patients with a higher risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence are advised to avoid sexual activity for a longer period of time. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment. Prolapsed epiploica of the colon should be kept in mind for those who have undergone hysterectomy in order to provide appropriate treatment in time.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The first reported case of cardiac herniation was in 1948 and occurred following pericardiectomy during a lung cancer resection. Although rare, this potentially fatal surgical complication may occur following any operation in which a pericardial incision or resection is performed. The majority of literature on cardiac herniation involves case reports after intrapericardial pneumonectomy. Currently, there are no reports of cardiac herniation after thymectomy with pericardial resection. CASE PRESENTATION:A 44-year-old Asian female with symptomatic myasthenia gravis was referred for thymectomy. Originally thought to have Bell's Palsy, her symptoms began with right eyelid drooping and facial weakness. Over time, she developed difficulty holding her head up, upper extremity weakness, difficulty chewing and dysarthria. These symptoms worsened with activity. She was found to have positive acetylcholine receptor binding antibody on her myasthenia gravis panel. A preoperative CT scan demonstrated a 3.5?cm?×?2?cm anterior mediastinal mass along the right heart border and phrenic nerve. A complete thymectomy, via right-sided robotic-assisted approach was performed en bloc with a portion of the right phrenic nerve and a 4?cm?×?4?cm portion of pericardium overlying the right atrium and superior right ventricle. Upon undocking of the robot and closure of the port sites, the patient became acutely hypotensive (lowest recorded blood pressure 43/31?mmHg). The camera was reinserted and demonstrated partial cardiac herniation through the anterior pericardial defect toward the right chest. An emergent midline sternotomy was performed and the heart was manually reduced. The patient's hemodynamics stabilized. A vented Gore-Tex 6?cm?×?6?cm patch was sewn along the pericardial edges with interrupted 4-0 prolene to close the pericardial defect. CONCLUSION:This potentially fatal complication, although rare, should always be considered whenever there is hemodynamic instability entry or resection of the pericardium during surgery. We now routinely sew in a pericardial patch using our robotic surgical system for any defect over 3?cm?×?3?cm that extends from the mid- to inferior portions of the heart.

Project description:Cervical cancer (CC) continues to be a global burden for women, with higher incidence and mortality rates reported annually. Many countries have witnessed a dramatic reduction in the prevalence of CC due to widely accessed robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH). This network meta-analysis aims to compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes in way of RRH, laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LTH) and open radical hysterectomy (ORH) in the treatment of early-stage CC.A comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases was performed from inception to June 2016. Clinical controlled trials (CCTs) of above three hysterectomies in the treatment of early-stage CC were included in this study. Direct and indirect evidence were incorporated for calculating values of weighted mean difference (WMD) or odds ratio (OR), and drawing the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA).Seventeen 17 CCTs were ultimately enrolled in this network meta-analysis. The network meta-analysis showed that patients treated by RRH and LRH had lower estimated blood loss compared to patients treated by ORH (WMD = -399.52, 95% CI = -600.64~-204.78; WMD = -277.86, 95%CI = -430.84 ~ -126.07, respectively). Patients treated by RRH and LRH had less hospital stay (days) than those by ORH (WMD = -3.49, 95% CI = -5.79~-1.24; WMD = -3.26, 95% CI = -5.04~-1.44, respectively). Compared with ORH, patients treated with RRH had lower postoperative complications (OR = 0.21, 95%CI = 0.08~0.65). Furthermore, the SUCRA value of three radical hysterectomies showed that patients receiving RRH illustrated better conditions on intraoperative blood loss, operation time, the number of resected lymph nodes, length of hospital stay and intraoperative and postoperative complications, while patients receiving ORH demonstrated relatively poorer conditions.The results of this meta-analysis confirmed that early-stage CC patients treated by RRH were superior to patients treated by LRH and ORH in intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay and intraoperative and postoperative complications, and RRH might be regarded as a safe and effective therapeutic procedure for the management of CC.
