    Evaluation of the surgical outcome and complications of total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with enlarged uteruses

    Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether uterine weight has a deleterious effect on the operation time, complication rates, length of hospital stay and incidence of intraoperative haemorrhage during total laparoscopic hysterectomy operation. Methods: A total of 282 patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign gynaecologic indications were retrospectively analyzed. The median operation time of 70 min was accepted as an index number, and a cut-off point of >= 300 g was calculated for uterine weight by using reciever operator characteristics (ROC) curve analysis. Results: There was no statistically significant relationship between the uterine weight and haemoglobin drop rate (1.27 +/- 0.89 vs 1.21 +/- 0.88, p = 0.905), complication rate (10.83\% vs 9.26\%, p = 0.062) and length of hospital stay (3.27 +/- 1.23 vs 3.37 +/- 1.35 days, p = 0.505) based on this cut. Lee-Huang point was preferred for abdominal entry in cases with uteruses reached the level of umbilicus -2 cm in physical examination. Conclusions: Uterine weight was not effected the complication rate, estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay in total laparoscopic hysterectomy operation. A cut-off value of 300 g could be used for an increased operation time. (C) 2016 IJS Publishing Group Ltd. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Intrapelvic Nerve Entrapment Syndrome Caused by a Variation of the Intrapelvic Piriformis Muscle and Abnormal Varicose Vessels: A Case Report
    (KOREAN CONTINENCE SOC, 2021-01-01) Kale, Ahmet; Basol, Gulfem; Topcu, Ahmet C.; Gundogdu, Elif C.; Usta, Taner; Demirhan, Recep
    Entrapment neuropathy of the sciatic nerve and pudendal nerve are painful syndromes that are often overlooked by physicians. Laparoscopic surgical interventions for nerve entrapment syndromes of the posterior pelvis focus on removing the compression lesion with the purpose of eliminating the suspected cause of sciatica, as well as pudendal neuralgia. Herein, the authors report the rare event of sciatic and pudendal nerve entrapment, which was caused by aberrant vessels and a variant piriformis muscle bundle, as a seldom-diagnosed cause of sciatica and pelvic pain, for both neurosurgeons and neuropelveologists. The authors present the laparoscopic decompression technique for the pudendal and sciatic nerves by giving our technical ``tips and tricks{''} enriched by a surgical video.
