摘要:
Various non-hysteroscopic procedures have been developed in the attempt to treat dysfunctional uterine bleeding that fails to respond to medical treatment efficiently and easily. Among these procedures is low-dose laser radiation of the endometrium with the diode source, which is characterized by the highest incidence of amenorrhea.

摘要:
Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy has been described as an office procedure that is particularly suitable for the diagnosis of endometriosis and adhesions. It is recommended as a first line procedure in patients with infertility. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation in an office setting. The abdominal distension is achieved by transvaginal instillation of warm saline using a combined Veress needle-trocar system. The exploration under fluid allows the inspection of the tubo-ovarian structures in their natural position and the easy identification of endometriotic lesions and adhesions in the posterior pelvis. The limitation of the inspection to the posterior pelvis is not a major problem for the diagnosis of endometriosis because exclusively anterior pelvis endometriosis is rare and of doubtful significance in infertility. Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy can be performed in the office setting in combination with minihysteroscopy, tubal patency test and salpingoscopy, offering major advantages for the diagnosis of pelvic disease in patients with infertility.

摘要:
The aim of this review is to appraise critically the literature over the past year with respect to new developments in adhesion prevention strategies. The majority of the work continues to be focused on animal models, and interest continues into the usage of heterologous barriers, which are increasingly derived from or related to hyaluronic acid. The recent trend has been to develop barriers that are not only effective but also technically easy to use for the laparoscopic surgeon - hence the development of barrier gels. It is only through the development of these user-friendly barriers that many laparoscopic surgeons will be willing to incorporate these important preventative measures into their busy daily practice. Routine usage of adhesion prevention measures will ultimately reduce patient morbidity and mortality and relieve the burden on health service provision.

摘要:
Chronic pelvic pain is a complex disorder with multiple etiologies. Recently, the technique of microlaparoscopy under local anesthesia has been applied to chronic pelvic pain. The specialized technique of conscious pain mapping has been developed to aid in the diagnosis of these patients. This paper will review the history and usage of office and microlaparoscopy in general. It will then discuss specific applications for patients with acute or chronic pelvic pain.

摘要:
Ovarian and pelvic (internal iliac) varices have long been recognized as a source of chronic pelvic pain in women. The technique of transcatheter embolotherapy for ovarian and pelvic varices requires selective catheterization of the ovarian and internal iliac veins, followed by contrast venography and embolization. The long-term effects of treatment are the subject of ongoing investigation. This article provides a concise background on ovarian and pelvic varices and reviews the recently published literature on their embolization for the treatment of pelvic venous incompetence (also known as pelvic congestion syndrome).

摘要:
The successful introduction of microsuturing and microinstruments for operative laparoscopy has allowed the convergence of laparoscopy and traditional microsurgery, resulting in the evolution of the 'new microsurgery'. This more dynamic approach overcomes the limitations of open microsurgery by providing continuous magnification and the benefits of a closed environment, making laparoscopy a complete surgical tool. The test model for microsurgery is tubal anastomosis, which is very dependent on operative technique to attain well-established pregnancy rates. Our cumulative pregnancy results for laparoscopic microsurgical tubal anastomosis of 76% at 12 months, 70% at 9 months, 67% at 6 months and 44% at 3 months, compares favorably to the best results achieved by traditional open microsurgery. With this validation the technique is now employed as a complete solution for all tubal surgery. The ability to effect microsurgical repair of the ureter, bladder, bowel and vessels has expanded the surgical repertoire, allowing radical excision of deep endometriosis, severe enterolysis, and adhesiolysis.
