Objective: Pelvic pain can account for up to 40 percent of laparoscopies performed by gynecologists. This report compares the psychological profiles and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery at long-term follow-up in a series of laparoscopy-positive and laparoscopy-negative patients with chronic pelvic pain. Method: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain combined with postoperative written questionnaires and self-rating scales. These questionnaires were used to assess long-term post laparoscopy follow-up of the physical and psychological status of women with positive findings at laparoscopy compared to those women with negative findings. Results: There were no statistically significant demographic differences between respondents and nonrespondents. In the respondents, no statistically significant differences were noted even with long-term follow-up when comparing responses of the laparoscopy-positive and laparoscopy-negative groups on the above questionnaires. Conclusion: Though reporting modest improvement in pelvic pain since laparoscopy, both groups reported a high incidence of anxiety, depression, physical worries, and marital/sexual problems.

Abstract An aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare yet life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We report our experience with open surgical management of two cases of AEF. Both cases presented with almost identical presentations: hematemesis and hemodynamic instability. The aorta in the first patient was normal; the defect was small and was repaired with a Dacron patch. The second patient had an aneurysmal aorta, which was replaced with a Dacron graft. Both cases were performed under partial bypass. The esophageal rent in both patients was debrided, primarily closed and buttressed with a vascularized intercostal pedicle. Nonavailability of endovascular personnel and equipment along with hemodynamic instability of the patient influenced our surgical strategy. Long-term follow-up of these patients is necessary to analyze the outcomes of our surgical repair.
