Baseline data were collected following consent and prior to laparoscopy. At 3 and 6 months following randomization and at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years, the same questionnaires were mailed to patients with a prepaid return envelope. Nonresponders were followed up through postal and/or telephone reminders or, if this failed, via their general practitioners. Table 1.

Tammy Posted Tue 30th of June, :49:58 PM. Materials and Methods In order to test the primary hypothesis that the laparoscopic approach to colpopexy at the time of vaginal hysterectomy enhances safety of the ureter, this retrospective cohort study comparing the vaginal and laparoscopic approaches was undertaken at a tertiary urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery service. Subjects were identified from current procedure terminology coding databases for vaginal hysterectomy between July 2003 and December 2006 (to allow at least 6 months of follow-up data); office and surgical charts were then reviewed, and patients who underwent concurrent uterosacral ligament colpopexy, by either the vaginal or laparoscopic approach, were included for analysis. Concurrent prolapse or continence procedures were performed as indicated. All patients were evaluated preoperatively with standardized pelvic examination according to the International Continence Society's Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) evaluation 9. For example: CPT code 58660, Lysis of adhesions, is not to be reported separately when done in

Obstet Gynecol Surv. 1993;48(6): PubMed Google Scholar Crossref. Recurrence of posterior compartment prolapse (POP-Q stage II or greater) was observed in 6 of 48 (12.5%) patients in the VUSLS group and 1 of 10 (10%) patients in the LUSLS group; 5 patients (10.4%) in the VUSLS vs. 0 patients in the LUSLS group underwent additional surgery for correction of symptomatic posterior compartment prolapse (p = 0.25). Among patients without preoperative posterior defects, de novo posterior compartment defects (POP-Q Stage II or greater) were detected in 3/48 (6.25%) and 1/12 (8.5%) of VUSLS and LUSLS patients, respectively (p = 0.98); 1 patient in each group elected to undergo additional surgery for this condition (p = 0.40). et al.

Patient centered outcomes in arthritis.. If the clinician is unable to arrive at a proper diagnosis, patient assisted or conscious laparoscopy is of great benefit. With the patient conscious and interactive with the surgeon, laparoscopy can be performed and physical examination repeated with a clear view of the inner and outer surfaces, muscles and organs and the source of pain delineated by stimulus - response techniques. If the uterosacral ligaments are difficult to identify, uterosacral transection is not recommended. When the uterosacral ligament is cut, a blood vessel inside it tends to bleed. To ascertain if this has occurred, uterine traction should be released and pneumoperitoneum should be decreased. The source of chronic pelvic pain may be reproductive organ, urological, musculoskeletal - neurological, gastrointestinal, or myofascial. A psychological component almost always is a factor whether as an antecedent event or presenting as depression as result of the pain. Since implementation of the October 1 edits, both ACOG and the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) have received numerous complaints and protests from members. Both societies reviewed and strongly disagreed with the proposed edits before their implementation, but NCCI ultimately decided to implement them. Laparoscopic uterosacral nerve ablation and presacral neurectomy are ancillary procedures meant to further decrease endometriosisassociated pelvic pain symptoms. Presacral neurectomy, involving cutting the T10-L1 sympathetic nerves on the anterior surface of the sacral bone and paracervical uterine denervation, involving transection of the uterosacral ligament at its attachment to the uterus along with cutting the above-mentioned sympathetic nerves and the S1S4 parasympathetic nerves, which transmit pain stimuli from the supravaginal region into the uterine cervix. 1 Surgery for the treatment of peritoneal endometriosis includes several options: electrocoagulation, laser ablation, plasmajet or excision of the lesions, all of which

3 plasmajet or excision of the lesions, all of which have similar efficacy in the therapy of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. 24. Surgical interventions for chronic pelvic pain include: 1) resection or vaporization of vulvar/vestibular tissue for HPV induced or chronic vulvodynia/vestibulitis; 2) cervical dilation for cervix stenosis; 3) hysteroscopic resection for intracavitary or submucous myomas or intracavitary polyps; 4) myomectomy or myolysis for symptomatic intramural, subserosal or pedunculated myomas; 5) adhesiolysis for peritubular and periovarian adhesions, and enterolysis for bowel adhesions, adhesiolysis for all thick adhesions in areas of pain as well as thin adhesions affecting critical structures such as ovaries and tubes; 6) salpingectomy or neosalpingostomy for symptomatic hydrosalpinx; 7) ovarian treatment for symptomatic ovarian pain; 8) uterosacral nerve vaporization for dysmenorrhea; 9) presacral neurectomy for disabling central pain primarily of uterine but also of bladder origin; 10) resection of endometriosis from all surfaces including removal from bladder and bowel as well as from the rectovaginal septal space. Complete resection of all disease in a debulking operation is essential; 11) appendectomy for symptoms of chronic appendicitis, and chronic right lower quadrant pain; 12) uterine suspension for symptoms of collision dyspareunia, pelvic congestion, severe dysmenorrhea, cul-de-sac endometriosis; 13) repair of all hernia defects whether inguinal, femoral, spigelian, ventral or incisional; 14) hysterectomy if relief has not been achieved by organ preserving surgery such as resection of all endometriosis and presacral neurectomy, or the central pain continues to be disabling. Before such a radical step is taken, MRI of the uterus to confirm presence of adenomyosis may be helpful; 15) trigger point injection therapy for myofascial pain and dysfunction in pelvic and abdominal muscles.

Holding the scissors in the right hand and the bipolar grasper in the left, surgery begins by making the right pedicle fully accessible as a result of the assistant pushing the manipulator's handle towards the patient's right thigh with a clockwise twist. Using the bipolar grasper, the round ligament, tube and the ovarian pedicle are coagulated simultaneously cm away from the uterine cornua. Coagulation is carried out in three adjacent spots so that the cauterized area measures approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. The coagulated area of the pedicle is transected in the middle, thereby ensuring that adequate coagulated pedicle remains on either side to ensure hemostasis. Following the recommendation of Fujii, the tissue located approximately 1 to 3 cm along the uterosacral ligament should be treated to a depth of 1.5 cm. 14 This segment of the uterosacral ligament is close to the uterine vessels and ureter. The suction irrigator serves as a backstop to make the uterosacral ligament more prominent and protect the ureter. A relaxing incision may be made along the outer side of the ligament to retract the ureter laterally before the ligament is transected ( Figure 3 ). The blood vessels run along the medial aspect of the uterosacral ligament, and bleeding in this area must be

4 ligament, and bleeding in this area must be controlled carefully because of the proximity of the ureter and rectum. Some gynecologists also vaporize a path along the base of the cervix between the uterosacral ligaments ( Figure 4 ). Interceed (Gynecare) may be placed over the transected area ( Figure 5 ). Summary of Surgical Treatment for Chronic Pelvic Pain. Guidelines from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (2006) concluded: "[t]here is no evidence that laparoscopic uterine nerve ablation is necessary when ablating endometriotic lesions and laparoscopic uterine nerve ablation by itself has no effect on dysmenorrhea associated with endometriosis. In cases that have failed to respond to conservative laparoscopic surgery, there may be a role for presacral neurectomy, especially in severe dysmenorrhoea, although the evidence is inconclusive.". Thus, methodologically sound and sufficiently powered RCTs are needed to assess the effectiveness of both LUNA and PSN for chronic pelvic pain in women. The Society for Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada clinical practice guideline (2005) stated: "[t]here is limited evidence for use of presacral neurectomy in the management of primary dysmenorrhea, the risks must be carefully weighed against the expected benefits. Laparoscopic uterosacral ligament resection has not been shown to reduce dysmenorrhea and therefore should not be advocated as a mainstream treatment option."..

The laparoscopic approach was carried out after the vaginal closure following hysterectomy and prior to any other prolapse repair. After securing pneumoperitoneum and laparoscopic visualization, a vaginal probe was used to

5 visualization, a vaginal probe was used to elevate the vaginal vault, thereby allowing visualization of the uterosacral ligaments. Using sharp dissection with monopolar cautery, peritoneal incisions between the proximal uterosacral ligament and the ureter on each side were performed. The proximal ligament was then dissected from the pelvic sidewall ( Figure 1 ). CV-O Gore-tex suture on a THX-26 needle (W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc., Flagstaff, Arizona) was then passed doubly through the proximal uterosacral ligament; traction on the suture after the first purchase improved tissue capture on the second ( Figure 2 ). The peritoneum overlying the midportion of the ligament was reefed in each suture to decrease the potential for internal herniation. The suture was then used to secure the proximal uterosacral ligament to the ipsilateral vaginal cuff, both anterior and posterior to the transverse cuff closure. One or 2 such sutures were placed on each side, and extracorporeal knot-tying technique was used to suspend the vault ( Figure 3 ). Concomitant repairs were then carried out, laparoscopically and/or vaginally, as indicated. Intraoperative cystoscopy with intravenous indigo carmine administration was performed universally in both groups..
