Summary: | Objective: to describe the initial experience of a gynecology team, at a tertiary care center, when performing single-port laparoscopic surgery. Methods: this is a retrospective study reviewing the medical records of 50 patients treated at the outpatient gynecology clinic of our institution between June 2012 and July 2013 who underwent single-port laparoscopic surgery. This study was approved by the institution’s Ethics in Research Committee. Results: the mean age of patients is 37.8 years, ranging from 18 to 70 years, and the most frequent surgical indications were adnexal mass (72%) and chronic pelvic pain (24%). The mean operative time was 94.4 minutes with a mean hospital stay of 25.8 hours. There were no perioperative complications. We recorded two conversions to laparotomy due to technical difficulties during the procedure. All cases of conversion had pelvic adhesions. All operative complications were successfully treated and none were considered severe. Conclusion: this is one of the largest case series in the literature regarding surgical treatment by single-port laparoscopy in gynecology and presents evidence on reduction of surgical morbidity and satisfactory cosmetic results. We conclude that single-port laparoscopy is a viable minimally invasive technique, and that it contributes to the construction of a new scenario in modern gynecological surgery.
Objetivo: descrever a experiência inicial da equipe de ginecologia, em um centro de referência, na realização de cirurgia laparoscópica por portal único. Métodos: trata-se de estudo retrospectivo, com a revisão dos prontuários de 50 pacientes atendidas no ambulatório de ginecologia do Hospital da Baleia – Fundação Benjamin Guimarães, entre junho de 2012 e julho de 2013, e que foram submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico laparoscópico por portal único. Este trabalho foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da instituição. Resultados: a idade média das pacientes incluídas no estudo é de 37,8 anos, variando entre 18 e 70 anos, e as indicações cirúrgicas mais frequentes foram massa anexial (72%) e dor pélvica crônica (24%). O tempo médio cirúrgico foi de 94,4 minutos, com tempo de internação médio de 25,8 horas. Em nenhum caso ocorreu qualquer tipo de complicação perioperatória. Registraram-se duas conversões para laparotomia por dificuldade técnica durante o procedimento. Todos os casos de conversão apresentavam aderências pélvicas. Todas as complicações operatórias foram tratadas com sucesso e nenhuma |
