Surgical Site Infections in Gynaecological Surgeries

Surgical contaminations are one of the utmost familiar medical management related contamination within the economically developing nations. Gynecologic tactics constitute a completely distinctive venture within which the infectious pathogen arising out of pores and the underlying skin or the vagina and endo-cervix can also relocate up to the area of surgery and may bring about vaginal cuff cellulitis, cellulitis of the pelvis, and abscesses of the pelvis. Numerous organisms along with operation threat elements were recognized as dangers that grow infectious sequelae after pelvic surgical treatment. The full-size use of antibiotic prophylaxis has decreased however now no longer removed severe postoperative infections; the common anticipated SSIs price being three–15% after c-section. Those costs are multiplied by the existence of various threat elements like surgical infection, which is compounded by untimely rupture of membranes, obstructed labour, chorioamnionitis, large obesity, extended duration of surgery, emergency surgeries, and immunodeficiency, all of that are not uncommon within aid-deficient nations. Other factors linked to physician ability, such as poor operation skills, insufficient hemostasis, and the presence of a useless region, lead to increased injury contamination. Working at the pinnacle, such as those medical conditions that occur during pregnancy and malnutrition, also contribute significantly to the problem. SSIs as the most common motive concerning hospital-acquired contamination in obstetrics, although the present contemporary era, remains as chief residence fitness hassle within growing nations. We may even evaluate the definitions, microbiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and control of pelvic SSIs after gynecologic surgical procedures.

Therapeutic Pathways of Vesicovaginal Fistula, From the Past to the Future: A Mini-Review

Over the last decade, innovation of medical interventions concerning less radical surgery consists cornerstone of therapeutic management. Among gynecologic surgical procedures, medical experience and completion of educational curve lead to the decrease of potential post-operative complications. Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) represent ultimate medical injury in cases of total laparoscopic or abdominal hysterectomy. The aim of our study, consists of primary detection of such cases, assiduous imaging depiction, and ultimate therapeutic strategy. New technical innovations and less radical intervention consist of necessary conditions to establish proper therapeutic mapping.

Conización cervical más linfadenectomía pélvica radical bilateral como manejo conservador del cáncer de cérvix IB 1: reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

<p><strong>Objetivo:</strong> describir el caso de una paciente con cáncer de cérvix en estadio FIGO IB1, a quien se le realizó conización cervical más linfadenectomía pélvica para preservar su fertilidad, y hacer una revisión de la literatura sobre sus indicaciones, efectividad y seguridad en términos de resultados oncológicos y obstétricos.</p><p>Materiales y métodos: se presenta el caso de una paciente de 26 años, con diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma infiltrante de cérvix estadio IB1, atendida en la Clínica Julio Enrique Medrano de SaludCoop, Barranquilla (Colombia), institución de alto nivel de complejidad que atiende pacientes pertenecientes al régimen contributivo del sistema de seguridad social. Se realizó conización cervical más linfadenectomía pélvica, para preservar fertilidad. Al segundo año de seguimiento logró embarazo a término y 48 meses después se encuentra libre de enfermedad. Se realizó una búsqueda electrónica, sin restricción de idioma, de la literatura publicada hasta julio de 2015 con las palabras claves: Uterine Cervical Neoplasms, Fertility Preservation, Conization, Gynecologic Surgical Procedures y Lymph Node Excision, en las bases de datos Medline, Embase, CINAHL y Cochrane, y en las referencias bibliográficas de estudios recuperados.</p><p><strong>Resultados:</strong> se identificaron nueve artículos: ocho estudios de cohorte y un de reporte de caso. La conización cervical más linfadenectomía pélvica radical bilateral, es un procedimiento menos radical, seguro y efectivo para el manejo conservador del cáncer de cérvix de bajo riesgo. En pacientes sometidas a conización se reportan recidivas en un 2,84 %; 38 % logran embarazo, de los cuales el 70,2 % llegan a término.</p><p>Conclusiones: la conización cervical más linfadenectomía pélvica radical bilateral podría ser una opción para el manejo de pacientes con cáncer de cérvix en estadios iniciales considerados de bajo riesgo que deseen conservar su fertilidad.</p>

Pelvic Surgical Site Infections in Gynecologic Surgery

The development of surgical site infection (SSI) remains the most common complication of gynecologic surgical procedures and results in significant patient morbidity. Gynecologic procedures pose a unique challenge in that potential pathogenic microorganisms from the skin or vagina and endocervix may migrate to operative sites and can result in vaginal cuff cellulitis, pelvic cellulitis, and pelvic abscesses. Multiple host and surgical risk factors have been identified as risks that increase infectious sequelae after pelvic surgery. This paper will review these risk factors as many are modifiable and care should be taken to address such factors in order to decrease the chance of infection. We will also review the definitions, microbiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of pelvic SSIs after gynecologic surgery.
