Study Notes
Uterine Ligaments
- CURB ligaments include cardinal, uterosacral, round, and broad ligaments, crucial for uterine support.
Dilation and Curettage (D&C)
- Surgical procedure where the cervix is dilated for scraping the uterine lining with a curette.
- Commonly used for treating heavy bleeding or clearing the uterine lining after miscarriage or abortion.
Vault Count
- Refers to the anatomical space created when the cervix is accessed or removed, leading to a connection between the pelvis and vagina.
- Involves major and minor closing techniques post-procedure.
Pneumoperitoneum
- Closed pneumoperitoneum is established using a Verres needle.
- Required volume is typically between 2.5 to 4 liters, with optimal pressure maintained between 14-16 mmHg to avoid gas embolism risks.
Hysterectomy
- Procedure for uterus removal, categorized as:
- Vaginal: incision made through the vagina.
- Abdominal: incision made in the abdomen.
- Total Abdominal Hysterectomy: involves removal of uterus and cervix.
- Partial/Subtotal: removal of uterus only.
- Radical (Wertheim): comprehensive removal of uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, vagina, pelvis lymph nodes.
Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (BSO)
- Surgical procedure involving the removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Endometrial Ablation
- Technique for treating menorrhagia by burning away the endometrial lining.
- Requires non-electrolytic ionic mediums such as Cystosol, Sorbitol, Mannitol, and Glycine.
- Can also be performed using an Nd:YAG laser with a blanching and dragging method.
- Monitoring of intake and output is critical to prevent complications like hyponatremia, which may present with symptoms such as bradycardia, hypertension followed by hypotension, nausea, and agitation.
Ovarian Cancer
- Known as a silent killer due to lack of early symptoms and vague signs at late stages.
- Predominantly affects individuals aged 50-60.
Pelvic Exenteration
- Extensive surgical procedure involving removal of the rectum, distal sigmoid colon, urinary bladder, distal ureters, internal iliac vessels, and all pelvic reproductive organs.
- Also includes removal of lymph nodes and the pelvic floor structures such as the levator muscles and perineum.
- Indicated for persistent carcinoma of the cervix, especially after radiation therapy; can also occur in invasive rectal cancer.
