Hysteroscopic resection of fibroid with thermal injury to sigmoid.

BACKGROUND: Hysteroscopy is being used increasingly, especially as a means of performing uterine surgery. Uterine perforation is the most frequent complication of hysteroscopy. CASE: A 31-year-old woman sustained uterine perforation with a resectoscope during hysteroscopic resection of a pedunculated myoma. The perforation was identified laparoscopically, but laparotomy was necessary to assess the pelvic viscera fully. Perforation of the sigmoid was discovered and the defect was repaired primarily. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy may be insufficient to evaluate fully the possible sequelae of uterine perforation. Penetrating thermal injury to the colon can be managed successfully with primary repair.

[The use of magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of treatment outcome in uterine artery embolisation for fibroids].

THE AIM: Of the study was to evaluate utility of magnetic resonance (MR) in the assessment of the women who fulfilled inclusion criteria for uterine artery embolisation as a symptomatic leiomyoma treatment and outcome of procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR examination was performed in 220 patients. Uterine artery embolizations were performed in 170 patients. RESULTS: The reasons for disqualification were: no correlation between symptoms and size an position of leiomyoma--61%, adenomyosis--20%. In MR imaging dominant leiomyoma volumes were diminished by 59.6% (p < 0.05) over a period of 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: MR is the method of choice in the assessment of women referred to uterine artery embolisation as a symptomatic leiomyoma treatment. MR imaging is effective and objective method of evaluation outcomes of uterine embolisation.
