Results of a national multicenter audit assessment of gynecologic history in surgical patients2017 •
Objective: To determine the adequacy of assessing gynecologic history for females of reproductive age (FRA) admitted to a general surgery department. Methods: The present prospective multicenter audit included FRA who were admitted for elective or emergency procedures to general surgery departments in Scotland between May 11 and May 25, 2015. Data were compared between patients who were admitted for elective and emergency treatment. Results: There were 530 FRA included from 18 centers, including 169 (31.9%) and 361 (68.1%) elective and emergency admissions, respectively. The date of last menstrual period was document for 203 (38.3%) patients, use of contraception for 149 (28.1%), sexual activity for 83 (15.7%), pregnancy status for 274 (51.7%), and the possibility of pregnancy for 237 (44.7%). A higher incidence of documented date of last menstrual period (P=0.002) and pregnancy status (P<0.001) were identified among emergency admissions, and the possibility of pregnancy was documented more commonly among elective admissions (P<0.001). Conclusions: Key factors required for gynecologic assessment were often not documented for FRA admitted to general surgery both as elective and emergency admissions. Surgical teams and medical undergraduates require educating regarding the importance of obtaining gynecologic history for all FRA. K E Y W O R D S Females of reproductive age; Gynecological history; Pregnancy status 1 | INTRODUCTION The admission of female patients to hospital presents the admitting team with a unique set of variables to consider, particularly for females of reproductive age (FRA). In addition to obtaining a standard medical history, the date of last menstrual period, use of contraception , pregnancy status, sexual activity, and other relevant gynecologic history details should also be considered. Documentation of pregnancy status takes on greater importance when surgery requiring general anesthesia is being considered, or when the patient could require exposure to ionizing radiation or the use of drug treatments that are contra-indicated in pregnancy. In the elective setting, current guidelines require that the possibility of pregnancy should be considered prior to surgery requiring a general anesthetic. 1 Surgery in the early stages of pregnancy constitutes a recognized risk to the fetus and this should form part of the informed consent process prior to undertaking such a procedure. 2-4 If surgery is required at all during pregnancy, the second trimester is considered to be the safest time. 5 With the widespread use of laparoscopic surgery for emergency conditions such as appendicitis and chole-cystitis, acceptable outcomes are now being reported particularly if surgery takes place before the third trimester of pregnancy. 6,7 In the

Influence of Patientʼs Age on the Outcome of Vaginal and Laparoscopic Procedures in UrogynaecologyIntroduction In the treatment of prolapse and incontinence, the choice of surgical procedure often depends not only on the clinical findings but also on the age of the patient. Uncertainty exists at present regarding the effect of patient age on treatment outcomes for both vaginal and laparoscopic procedures. The aim of this study is therefore to compare both the anatomical outcome after prolapse surgery and the functional outcome after incontinence surgery in the context of the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in older and younger patients. Patients/Methods This is a retrospective single-centre study conducted at a university site. Over the study period, a total of 407 women underwent surgery, 278 of whom were < 70 and 129 ≥ 70 years of age. They were assigned to one of three treatment groups (prolapse surgery, incontinence surgery or a combination of both types of surgery) and were then subjected to statistical analysis after assessment of the anatomical and functional ...

Urological Complications and Management After Gynecological Operations2013 •
More than 91,000 women in the USA will be diagnosed with a gynecologic malignancy in 2013. Most will undergo surgery for staging, treatment or both. No therapeutic intervention is without consequence, therefore, it is imperative to understand the possible complications associated with the perioperative period before undertaking surgery. Complication rates are affected by a patient population that is increasingly older, more obese and more medically complicated. Surgical modalities consist of abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches, and also affect rates of complications. An understanding of the various approaches, patient characteristics and surgeon experience allow for individualized decision-making to minimize the complications after surgery for gynecologic cancer.
