Abstract

The indications and the surgical technique of a newly developed operation for the correction of female urinary incontinence (the Tension free Vaginal Tape) are described. This technique is based on a new etiological concept of urinary incontinence and ensures the patient a reduced morbidity (local or regional anaesthesia) and hospital stay (theoretically adapted for a one day clinic). Mid-term results (84% success rate after a median follow up of 3 years) are promising but must be confirmed at the long term. We relate our experience of 30 cases with a success rate of 93% but entached with a high rate of postoperatory urinary urgency. This leads us to emphasise a strict adherence to the indications and an absolute respect of the technique as originally described.

Abstract

We hypothesize that the significantly increased number of nerve structures in the endometriotic nodules may contribute to the occurrence of severe and neuropathic pain that characterizes these lesions.

Abstract

Both the electrical current of the resectoscope and the energy of the Nd:YAG laser have been effective tools in the destruction of endometrial tissue to a sufficient depth to avoid regeneration. GnRH-agonist therapy effects a decrease in the total uterine cavity area which facilitates surgical treatment and reduces the risk of fluid overload syndrome. The recurrence rate of meno/metrorrhagia is higher when the uterine cavity is more than 10 cm2. The use of GnRH-agonists represents an adjunct for preoperative reduction of submucosal myomas so that subsequent hysteroscopic myomectomy is possible. A two-step hysteroscopic therapy combined with GnRH-agonist therapy is performed when the largest portion of the submucosal myoma is located in the uterine wall. In cases of numerous submucosal and intramural myomas, a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy is performed because of the high risk of recurrence after the hysteroscopic procedure.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the role of GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) and/or drainage in the management of large endometriomas. Design: This prospective clinical study was conducted in a parallel and randomized design. Setting: Department of Gynecology, Cliniques Universitaires St. Luc, Brussels, Belgium. Patients: Eighty infertile women with laparoscopically confirmed ovarian endometriotic cysts. After laparoscopic drainage of the ovarian cyst, patients were randomized. Patients in group I (n = 40) received no therapy. Patients in group II (n = 40) received GnRH-a therapy for 12 weeks. A second-look laparoscopy was performed after 12 weeks in each woman. Results: After drainage, a quick recurrence of the endometrial cyst was observed in only group I. Indeed, the score and the cyst size were similar to the values observed before the first laparoscopy. In group II, a significant decrease in score and cyst diameter was observed. Ovarian biopsies revealed significant reduction in the stromal vascularization and a significant reduction in the mitotic activity in the group of women treated with GnRH-a. Conclusion: The quick recurrence of the ovarian cyst after drainage proved that drainage alone is ineffective. Drainage followed by GnRH-a was effective in the reduction of cyst size and the glandular mitotic activity.

Abstract

Laparoscopic myomectomy can be carried out in cases of subserosal and intramural fibroids. Laparoscopic myolysis can be proposed as an alternative to laparoscopic myomectomy in cases of large or multiple intramural fibroids in women aged over 40 or not desiring to bear more children but wishing to avoid a future hysterectomy. The authors report the technique and the long-term results in a series of 48 women with fibroids treated by myolysis. Because of the risk of bowel adhesions, further studies with another type of laser fiber are required.

Abstract

Background/Aims: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a very painful condition and the mechanism of pain is still poorly understood. Pain and hyperalgesia can partly be explained by an increased number of nerve structures in the painful lesion. In order to clarify this issue, we assessed the nerve density in deep infiltrating endometriotic nodules of the posterior vagina and in the adjacent healthy vaginal tissue of the same patient. Methods: A prospective clinical and pathological study of 31 cases of deep infiltrating vaginal endometriotic nodules was conducted. Fifteen patients were in the proliferative phase and 16 in the secretory phase. The nerve density was studied by immunohistochemistry with the monoclonal antibody NF against neurofilaments in deep infiltrating endometriosis and in the adjacent unaffected vaginal tissue in the proliferative and in the secretory phases. Neurofilaments constitute the main structural elements of neuronal axons and dendrites. Results: The nerve density was significantly different in the endometriotic nodule than in the adjacent unaffected vaginal tissue (p = 0.0013). The same significant difference was found between endometriotic nodules and the unaffected vagina in the proliferative phase (p = 0.009) and in the secretory phase (p = 0.04). This difference was not significant between the proliferative and the secretory phases in the endometriotic lesions and in the controls. Conclusions: We hypothesize that the significantly increased number of nerve structures in the endometriotic nodules may contribute to the occurrence of severe and neuropathic pain that characterizes these lesions Copyright © 2010 S.

47. Rectovaginal septum, endometriosis or adenomyosis: laparoscopic management in a series of 231 patients.

Author

Donnez, J, Nisolle, M, Casanas-Roux, F, Bassil, S, and Anaf, V

Abstract

A series of 231 cases of deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum is presented. Laparoscopic procedures with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules were performed in all cases. In three cases, the bowel lumen was entered. No other peri-operative complications were observed. Three cases of urinary retention were reported. The nodule resection resulted in considerable pain relief. Histologically, the rectovaginal nodule was similar to an adenomyoma. Indeed it was a circumscribed nodular aggregate of smooth muscle and endometrial glands. This form of disease must be considered as a specific disease which originates from the Mullerian rests present in the rectovaginal septum and we suggest that it be called 'rectovaginal adenomyosis'.

48. Gynaecology. Relationship between endometriotic foci and nerves in rectovaginal endometriotic nodules

Author

Anaf, V., Simon, Ph., El Nakadi, I., Fayt, I., Buxant, F., Simonart, Th., Peny, M.-O., and Noel, J.-C.

Abstract

The histological relationships between fibrotic tissue, endometriotic foci and nerves in the rectovaginal septum endometriotic or adenomyotic nodule were studied. This is considered to be one of the most severe forms of deep endometriosis. Masson's trichrome staining for fibrosis detection and immunohistochemistry with the S100 monoclonal antibody for nerve detection were performed in 28 rectovaginal endometriotic nodules from patients presenting with severe dysmenorrhoea and deep dyspareunia (23 patients with no other endometriotic location or potential cause of pain at laparoscopy and ultrasonography; five patients with multiple pelvic endometriotic localizations and other potential causes of pain at laparoscopy). Patients were allocated to two groups on the basis of their preoperative pain scores for pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea and deep dyspareunia (group 1, score >7; group 2, score ≤7). For each symptom, the mean number of nerves and endometriotic lesions per high-power field and the mean largest diameter of the lesions were not statistically different in groups 1 and 2. The mean percentages of nerves located within the fibrosis of the nodule and within endometriotic lesions were significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2. Among nerves located within endometriotic lesions, there was a significantly higher proportion showing intraneurial and perineurial invasion by endometriosis in group 1 than in group 2. In rectovaginal endometriotic nodules, there was a close histological relationship between nerves and endometriotic foci, and between nerves and the fibrotic component of the nodule. We postulate that such topographical relationships could at least partially explain the strong association between this lesion and pain.

49. Reproductive pathology. Smooth muscles are frequent components of endometriotic lesions

Author

Anaf, V., Simon, Ph., Fayt, I., and Noel, J.-C.

Abstract

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (deeper than 5 mm under the peritoneum) often takes the form of a nodular lesion (or `adenomyotic nodule') consisting of smooth muscles and fibrosis with active glands and scanty stroma. Thus, among endometriotic lesions, a certain distinction is drawn between musculo-glandular lesions and glandular lesions composed of endometrial-like epithelium surrounded by a cell-producing (cytogenous) stroma. The aim of this study was to detect by immunohistochemistry, with a monoclonal antibody against muscle-specific actin, the presence of smooth muscles in 54 endometriotic lesions originating from four different pelvic locations (peritoneum, ovary, rectovaginal septum and uterosacral ligaments) and to quantify the smooth muscle content. Smooth muscles were frequent components of endometriotic lesions in pelvic locations. In addition, smooth muscles were significantly (P < 0.001) more abundant in endometriotic lesions than in their respective unaffected sites. This finding supports, at least partially, the occurrence of a metaplastic phenomenon in the pathogenesis of endometriotic lesions. The definition of distinct endometriotic entities based on the difference in the tissue composition of the lesions (endometriotic nodules versus adenomyotic nodules) is inconsistent with the very frequent presence of smooth muscle cells in endometriosis irrespective of its localization.
