Rare urogenital anomaly causing discharge and pain. A case report.

BACKGROUND: Patients with müllerian anomalies usually seek help because of poor reproductive performance. CASE: A 16-year-old, white woman presented with a persistent, brown vaginal discharge and right lower quadrant pain. Because of voluntary guarding, the uterus could not be palpated on bimanual examination. However, transvaginal sonography showed a right cystic mass and a slightly binodular contour of the uterus. Laparoscopic evaluation revealed the presence of a bicornuate uterus. A hysterosalpingogram showed a double uterine cavity and cervical canal below the right uterine cavity, leading to a cystic, paravaginal mass. Incision of the mass and drainage of its chocolate-brown fluid content revealed a small, blind vagina leading to a second cervix. Using a wire probe, an isthmic communication was demonstrated between the two uterine cavities, leading to the final diagnosis of bicornuate uterus, laterally communicating, with a double cervix and vagina, unilaterally blind. CONCLUSION: Awareness of the possibility of this clinically puzzling anomaly will avoid delayed or unnecessary surgical treatment.

Laparoscopy using a simplified open technique. A review of 585 cases.

Laparoscopy was carried out using a simplified open method on 585 patients. In the group, 173 (29.5%) had undergone a previous laparoscopy or laparotomy, 28 (4.8%) suffered from gross obesity and 1 patient had a large umbilical hernia. Laparoscopy was diagnostic in 216 (37%) patients and operative in 369 (63%). In this series there were no technical failures or major complications; the incidence of minor complications was 2.7%. The above results seem to suggest that open laparoscopy compared to the closed method may offer the advantage of a lack of contraindications secondary to previous surgery, no risk of failure with unintended laparotomy and, possibly, decreased postoperative discomfort. A larger, randomized series to settle the controversy between closed and open laparoscopy regarding the safety differences between the two approaches may result in more widespread use of the open technique.

Legal liability in the use of ultrasound by office-based obstetricians.

Ultrasound has proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool in the practice of obstetrics. Its rapidly increasing use by the office-based obstetrician, however, has opened a potential new area of legal vulnerability. The malpractice liability that may arise from its use is reviewed and practical ways to avoid it are considered.

Conventional vs. open laparoscopy.

Compared with the closed technique, open laparoscopy offers several advantages, including fewer contraindications, a simpler technique, lower operative risk, easier establishment and release of pneumoperitoneum and fewer complications.
