What positioning causes the majority of femoral nerve compression? P/w? MCC? RF’s? Trmt?
Extreme flexion, abduction and external rotation of the hip can cause femoral nerve to be compressed under inguinal ligament. Cutaneous dysthesia in anterior/medial thigh, anteromedial leg/foot, decreased leg extension and thigh flexion, most objective = decreased/absent knee reflex. MCC’s = poor positioning, compression from retractors & hematoma, suture transfixation, surgical transection. RF’s = BMI
Causes of postpartum incontinence? Work-up? Trmt?
MCC = anal sphincter injuries, pudendal nerve injury, neuro (MS), GI (IBS) and Rx’s. PE for sphincter tone assessment and endoanal U/S. Only 35% of those with e/o sphincter probs on U/S were incontinent. Fecal incontinence = 60 sensitive and 80% specific for sphincter injury. Trmt = EMG biofeedback for weakness but no anatomic deficit. Anal sphincteroplasty if + anatomic deficit AND symptomatic. Neurophysiologic testing for those suspected with pudendal injury.
MC’ly occurs in 2nd-4th decade of life - inflammation of apocrine glands in axillary, periareolar, perianal regions = ?. RF’s? Trmt? Complications
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (Ddx = chron’s folliculitis, and granulomatous STI). RF’s = obesity, DM, perianal antiperspirant use, androgen excess, poor hygiene, smoking. Patho = follicular hyperkeratosis w/ plugging of pore. Vulvular SCC = 5% w/ dx. Medical therapies = long-term antibiotics, antiandrogens, retinoic acid, cyclosporin. Surgery if refractory and extensive. Complications = scarring, draining sinuses, cutaneous fistulae
Common locations, presentations, and trmt of: bartholin cyst, skene duct cyst, inclusion cyst, urethral diverticulum, fibroma.
Bartholin cyst - posterior lateral vulva, MC’ly present after sexually active; MC 2/2 infections. Acutely can drain and place word catheter; recurrent cases can get marsupialization
Skene duct cyst - marsupialize in children, total excision in adults b/c accompanied by chronic inflam(remnant of urogenital sinus derivatives)
Inclusion cyst - MC cystic mass of the vagina, found in lower third of vagina; occur from birth trauma or prev pelvic surg and contain yellow/oily substance - only need to excise if painful
Urethral diverticulum - distinguished from skene duct cyst via locale - suburethral midline; occur 30-50 yo’s from congenital probs, trauma, but MC’ly infection. Diverticulectomy in proximal/middle third, marsupialization if distal
Fibroma - MC benign solid tumors of the vulva, found midline to anterior, freely mobile. If suspicious or painful, wide local excision
Complications of FC/FGM?
Recurrent vaginitis, painful menses, chronic pelvic infections, infertility, chronic UTI’s, urinary stones urinary incontinence, and dyspareunia. Problems arise from disruption of outflow tract
Risks of CEE and MPA?
Increased Risk: PE, DVT, Stroke, CAD, BC. Decreased Risk: Hip fracture, CRC
Risk of malignant cyst with no septations or solid components?
Indications for surgery for adnexal masses?
Cyst >5cm being followed more than 6-8wks / any solid ovarian lesions / papillary formations / adnexal mass >10cm / ascites / palpable mass in premenarchal or post-menopausal patients
Anatomic landmarks to avoid inferior epigastrics?
5cm superior to symphysis and 8 cm lateral to midline (vessels within 7cm of midline), past rectus. Medial to medial umbilical ligament (vessels are lateral but run risk of being too medial).
Inferior epigastric branches off ______ and anastomoses with _________ after inserting through rectus.
External iliac artery; Superior epigastric (branch of internal thoracic artery)
Ways to stop bleeding from injured inferior epigastrics?
Foley through the port site and inflated to tamponade. Passing suture around vessel.
Prophylactic meds against developing ovarian cancer? BRCA 1 vs 2 risks for ovarian cancer?
OCP’s decrease 40-50% risk vs. general population. Protection lasts 10-15yrs after stopping OCP’s (some say lifetime)
BRCA 1 = 45%, BRCA 2 = 25%
MC site of vascular injury with trochar placement? Pt’s at risk for larger vessel damage? Vasculature to wary of?
Inferior epigastrics. Thin pts and obese pts (BMI >30) at risk. Want to use sacral promontory and sacral curve as entry site/angle. Aorta, iliac artery and veins = risk! Bifurcation of aorta occurs at umbilicus or right below. Left common iliac vein at risk because lowest at midline and thin walled.
Appearance of vulvar Pagets? MC symptom?
Raised edges, appears exzematoid, red background, pale islands. Itching is MC symptom
Quintero Staging for Mo/Di Twins? Monitoring frequency?
Stage 1 - Poly/Oli (MVP >8, MVP <2) Stage 2 - Bladder of donor twin not visualized Stage 3 - Doppler abnormalities Stage 4 - Hydrops fetalis Stage 5 - Death of one fetus
Start screening every two weeks for TTTS at 16wks. TTTS occurs in 15% of MoDi Twins
Persistent fever s/p abx in post-op/partum patient w/o PE findings? Treatment?
Ovarian Vein Thrombosis / Septic Pelvis Thrombophlebitis. Therapeutic IV Heparin = trmt
Possible scenarios to consider conservative management of placenta accreta? Associated treatment course for each?
(1) Partial Accreta - wedge resection of invaded portion
(2) Extensive Accreta Involving Intraabdominal Organs - MTX to help preserve involved organs
FDA approved medication for dyspareunia?
Ospemafine = estrogen-agonist/antagonist
Positive CST Definition?
Late OR variable decels w/ 50% or more decels. Need at least 3 ctx’s in 10min period. If tachysystole occurs, requires repeat testing
Progressive treatment of uterine inversion?
- Immediate attempt at replacement
- If uterus is contracted, may need anesthesia’s help with tocolytic to then attempt replacement
- Huntington Procedure: laparotomy, clamping inside of “ring” (created by inversion) below level of cervix with subsequent traction, re-clamping, and more traction to “fish it out”
- Haultaim Procedure: laparotomy with incision in the posterior “ring” in attempt to create more space to replace uterus
Contraindications to cell saver technology use?
- Contaminants (ex: fat) - can hook up two suction machines to use separately for blood and other for contaminants
- Carbon Monoxide - a biproduct of electrocautery, can cause cell lysis and subsequent end organ damage, try to minimize use until after blood is collected
- Clotting agents - (ex: Surgicel, Avitene)
- Irrigating Solutions - can cause red cell lysis too secondary to osmotic forces
Monsel’s ingredients?
Ferrous Sulfate, Sulfuric Acid, Nitric Acid
NYHA Classes I-IV?
Class I: Heart disease without limitations on physical exercise
Class II: Can walk >2blocks, climb stairs quickly, with minimal limitation with exercise activity
Class III: Limitation with <2 blocks, often will occur with ADL
Class IV: Limitation at rest
Pathologic description of Call-Exner Body? Associated with? Most useful marker for this?
Microfollicular pattern with small cavities with eosinophillic fluid. Associated with Granulosa Cell Tumor, a germ cell tumor. Inhibin is elevated secondary to increase in estrogen. Occur at extremes of ages and MC’ly present with AUB and pelvic mass.
