Abstract Background: Risk factors for positive margins and residual lesions after cold knife conization (CKC) for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN) were assessed in women of child-bearing age. A design for postoperative management and avoiding these situations is offered.Methods: This was a retrospective study on 1,309 premenopausal women with high-grade CIN (including CIN3 and CIN2) based on a cervical biopsy under colposcopy used to diagnose a positive or negative margin. Age, gravidity, parity, HPV species, cytology, transformation zone type, results of endocervical curettage (ECC), quadrant involvement, glandular involvement, and CIN grade were analyzed. Among those with positive margins, 245 underwent surgery within three months, including CKC, a loop electrosurgical excision procedure, and total hysterectomy. Residual lesions were also assessed.Results: There was no significant difference in age, gravidity, parity, glandular involvement, and CIN grade between the two groups (P>0.3). There was a significant difference in HPV species, cytology, ECC results, and quadrant involvement (P<0.002). Multivariate analysis showed a major cytology abnormality, high-risk HPV infection, type III transformation zone, positive ECC result, and multiple quadrant involvement were independent risk factors for positive margins and residual lesions (P<0.02). Age >35 years was also a risk factor (P<0.03).Conclusion: High-risk women should be treated appropriately considering fertility. Patients with positive margins should be managed uniquely. Surgery for women without fertility may be appropriate. Close follow-up is necessary for women who have fertility requirements or are unwilling to undergo subsequent surgery if they have no risk factors, especially for women <35 years.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés és célkitűzés: A szerzők a posztoperatív fájdalom és a sebgyógyulás tekintetében prospektív vizsgálattal hasonlították össze gyermekeken (67 fő, 1–12 év) a hagyományos hidegeszközzel történő extracapsularis tonsillectomiát (23 fő) a microdebriderrel (23 fő) és a coblatorral (21 fő) végzett intracapsularis tonsillotomiával. Módszer: A vizsgálatok a betegek által kitöltött kérdőívek, valamint prospektív klinikai adatgyűjtés alapján történtek. Eredmények: Az intracapsularis tonsillotomia gyógyulási idejét 50%-kal rövidebbnek találtuk, és az első 13 napban szignifikánsan kevesebb fájdalommal és fájdalomcsillapító igénnyel járt, mint az extracapsularis tonsillectomia eseteiben. A tonsillotomiás csoporton belül egyedül a posztoperatív első napi fájdalom tekintetében észleltünk szignifikáns különbséget a két különböző módszer között a coblator javára (p<0,05). A vizsgálatokat retrospektív áttekintéssel is kiegészítettük, 4 évi gyermek- (1–15 éves) tonsillaműtéten átesett beteganyagunk (1487 fő) eredményeinek feldolgozásával. Tonsillectomia (1253 fő) után 7,7%-os utóvérzési arányt észleltünk, műtéti vérzéscsillapításra 1,3%-ban volt szükség. Tonsillotomia esetén (234 fő) 0,43%-os utóvérzési arányt regisztráltunk. Ebben a csoportban vérzés miatt nem, de 2 esetben ismételt obstrukciót okozó hypertrophia, 1 esetben góctünetek miatt reoperációt végeztünk (1,28%). Következtetés: Eredményeiket a szerzők a nemzetközi ajánlások tükrében elemezték. Az intracapsularis tonsillotomia kisebb fájdalommal, kisebb vérzéssel és kisebb megterheléssel jár. A közösségbe való aktív visszatérés akár egy hét után lehetséges a tonsillectomiára jellemző 3 héttel szemben, mindez jelentős szocioökonómiai előnyökkel járhat. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(45): 1920–1926. Summary. Introduction and objective: Examining operated children in this prostective study inditerscompared (67 pts, 1–12 yrs) the extracapsular tonsillectomy with conventional cold-knife (23 pts) to extracapsular tonsillotomy with microdebrider (23 pts) and coblator (21 pts) for postoperative pain and wound-healing disorders. Method: The study was based on patient-completed questionnaires as well as prospective clinical data collection. Results: The recovery time of intracapsular tonsillotomy was found less than 50%, with less pain than in the cases of extracapsular tonsillectomy. Postoperative pain was significantly less in the tonsillototomy group than the tonsillectomy group. Within the tonsillotomy group, a significant difference was observed between the two different methods in favor of the coblator for only the postoperative first-day pain. The studies were supplemented with a retrospective review by processing the 4 yrs results of their pediatric (1–15-yrs) patients who underwent tonsillectomy (1487 pts). After tonsillectomy (1253 pts), a postoperative bleeding rate of 7.7% was observed, and surgical hemostasis was required in 1.3%. In the case of tonsillotomy (234 pts), a postoperative bleeding rate of 0.43% was recorded. In this group, reoperation was not performed due to bleeding, whereas it was neccesary in 2 cases due to hypertrophy causing repeated obstruction, in 1 case due by virtue of focal symptomes (1.28%). Conclusion: Our results were analyzed on the basis of international recommendations. Intracapsular tonsillotomy is associated with less pain, less bleeding, and less strain. Active return to the community is possible after up to a week compared to the 3 weeks typical of tonsillectomy, all of which can have significant socioeconomic benefits.

Abstract Background: Canine orchiectomy involves making an incision in the prescrotal area, exteriorizing both testes via the same incision, ligating the blood vessels and spermatic cord, removing the testes, and suturing the incision. A briefer durations of anesthesia and surgery and decrease of postoperative morbidity could be obtain using a vessel sealing device. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and safety of orchiectomy in dogs by a scrotal approach with the use of a vessel-sealing device. Scrotal orchiectomy was performed with the use of monopolar electrosurgery device in pure cutting mode and a vessel-sealing device. Data were collected prospectively for the following categorical variables: breed, age, body weight, lifestyle, surgical time, indications for surgery and complications.Results: No complications were reported in 187 of 200 (93.5%). The complications documented were automutilation (AM), incisional complications (IC) and scrotal complications (SC). AM complications (11/200 [5.5%]) and SC complications (2/200 [1%]) were treated without additional surgery and resolved by day 10 after the surgery. Procedure duration (2,1 minutes± 0.4 minutes) was briefer than traditional castration duration reported in literature (3.5 ± 0.4 minutes).Conclusions: Results suggested that canine orchiectomy by scrotal approach with the use of a vessel-sealing device was feasible and safe. Furthermore, it was associated with a low complication rate and had the benefit of reduced surgical time and postoperative morbidity. This technique is promising for widespread application in veterinary surgery to help with haemostasis in canine orchiectomy.
