37 The 4 tendencies Upholder Questioner Obliger Rebel

38 Obliger Do things for others Can get overwhelmed and rebel (GretchenRubin.com) (happiercast.com/quiz)

39 Dependable Obliging

40 The problems with Gynaecology

41 The problems with Gynaecology Obstetrics Radiology The HDC The media

42 Why Obstetrics? Risky High expectations Leads to Risk-aversion More intervention, eg caesarean section

43 In Gynaecology fear of missing something

44 Groupthink

45 Groupthink Team meetings Guidelines Pathways One size fits all

46 In Gynaecology fear of missing something More investigation, eg ultrasound scans More diagnosis, eg polyps, cysts More Treatment, eg hysteroscopy and laparoscopy

47 Dependable Obliging Don t want to miss anything

48 VOMIT Victims Of Medical Imaging Technology

49 polyps Significance not clear 1% malignant or pre-malignant Possibly cause symptoms

50 polyps Ultrasound prediction v poor Hysteroscopy clinic population (mostly symptomatic bleeding problems) PPV 0.45 NPV 0.94 Incidence 14% (0% malignancy)

51 PMB- PPV 0.61 HMB- PPV 0.31

52 Hysterectomy for prolapse

53 Hysterectomy for prolapse 69 cases 10 with polyps (14.5%) All Benign All asymptomatic

54 Scan exercises

55 Clinical indications: Menorrhagia Age 53?endometrial thickness Findings: Uterus: anteverted, bulky 81x49x62mm. Volume 128cc Myometrium: heterogenous. 12mm ca++ within the fibroid There is a 53x43x44mm, volume 52ml posterior, submucosal fibroid Endometrium: Normal: proliferative. No focal abnormality or abnormal vascularity. Thickness 10mm Cervix: 6x9x7mm polyp Right ovary: 19x19x13mm. Normal Left ovary: 17 x 22 x 21 mm. normal Conclusion: Normal Endometrial Thickness. A cervical polyp is noted. Gynaecology review is recommended

56 Case 1 Postmenopausal Annual routine checkup) Bulky uterus with USS findings recommending gynae opinion USS- uterus 59x29x41mm 3x fibroids- largest 14mm Endometrium 6mm

57 Case 2 49yo Pelvic pain Worse with full bladder, eases when emptied

58 USS suggests cervical polyp Had hysteroscopy 3x polyps. Benign appearance + asymptomatic Returning for polypectomies

59 Case 3 Request for advice 45 yo, USS (TA, TV declined) done for?appendicitis concludes endometrium appears a little echogenic and focal within the body. A polyp is possible. A follow up scan should be considered. Patient asymptomatic. Is any action required?

60 Other info in scan report: (full report not in letter) endometrium 17mm Other patient info in letter: BMI 56, Diabetes

61 Referred 12 months later- 12 months heavy bleeding

62 Pipelle- complex hyperplasia with atypia Hysteroscopy- endometrial ca Hysterectomy- grade 1 stage 1a Might have been suitable for mirena

63 The bleeding edge documentary film that investigates the $400 billion medical device industry

64 Devices highlighted Essure Metal-on-metal hip prostheses Vaginal Mesh Robotic hysterectomy CT scan

65 Devices highlighted Essure Vaginal Mesh Robotic hysterectomy Other things mentioned including morcellation of fibroids

66 What is it about Gynaecology?

67 Essure Hysteroscopic sterilisation Metal coils placed in fallopian tubes Opportunity to avoid GA, abdominal surgery Possible outpatient procedure Problems with failure, migration, difficult removals, subsequent hysterectomies Withdrawn from NZ

68 Robotic hysterectomy Minimally invasive Quicker recovery Limited training High rate of vaginal dehiscence (Increased rate of vesicovaginal fistula) No proven advantage over vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy Greater expense

69 morcellation Facilitated laparoscopic removal of large fibroids 3/1000 fibroids malignant Difficult to diagnose pre-op Risk of tumour dissemination with morcellator

70 Vaginal mesh Disappointing results from traditional prolapse surgery Less invasive that traditional incontinence surgery Significant complications from transvaginal mesh for prolapse Relates to quantity of mesh in contact with vagina, route of placement (transobturator vs retropubic / abdominal vs vaginal), experience of surgeon.

71 over-use Poor training / technique Inexperienced surgeons Transvaginal mesh for prolapse no longer available in NZ Mesh slings for incontinence still available Mesh for transabdominal/laparoscopic surgery still available

72 The media No differentiation between different types of mesh All deemed bad No success stories- all bad news Advocates produce anecdote, medical societies produce data Science by press conference
