Abstract

Basing on our research work in hysteroscopy, we used recently developed small endosonographic sounds for intrauterine and later vaginal approach, for the first time in 1981. We call this method endosonography. The equipment used so far is described, the procedure explained, and the efficacy of this new technique demonstrated via several endosonograms. The advantage to transabdominal sonography is the close contact of the ultrasound transducer with the organ to be examined. This enables the use of high frequencies with correspondingly good resolution. Finally, our own experience is discussed.

Laparoscopically assisted colpotomy with the Pelosi illuminator and Visiport trocar system.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a technique for laparoscopically assisted colpotomy. STUDY DESIGN: The Pelosi endoscopic illuminator and Visiport trocar system were combined to perform visually guided transvaginal colpotomy. Thirty-five consecutive laparoscopic gynecologic cases necessitating cul-de-sac entry were approached with this technique. RESULTS: The technique was performed successfully in all 35 cases without complications or technical difficulties and with an average colpotomy time of 3.5 minutes. Indications for colpotomy included removal of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy specimens, myomata, large adnexal cysts and large tubal pregnancy. CONCLUSION: This colpotomy technique is quick, efficient and easy to perform. Advantages include retention of pneumoperitoneum, facilitated transvaginal insertion of instrumentation to remove pelvic masses, avoidance of an electrosurgical or laser incision, and complete visual control, which minimizes the possibility of traumatic injury to bowel and other pelvic structures.

Modern image capture and data collection technology.

Computer data collection technology is intended to facilitate patient management and clinic administration. The systems should be devised for ease of usage and careful consideration should be given to the core set of data required and the task to be performed by the system. Security of data is important, and it must cover not only the inadvertent access to confidential data, but also must stop corrupt data from entering the system. Audit is becoming increasingly important, and the ability to achieve this should be inbuilt into any data collection system. A staged introduction of these systems is suggested without trying to achieve too much at the initial attempt. Adaptability is important so that as new technologies are introduced, the old systems should not be made redundant. Eventually it should be possible to achieve the goals set, and include fields for image capture of the colposcopic findings, which although not an essential requirement for such systems, is certainly a desirable one.
