An assessment of the psychological state of 160 women after hysterectomy for leiomyoma was carried out. 90 patients of them (average age – 45.9±1.3 years old) had transvaginal hysterectomy, both classic and laparoscopically assisted one with opportunistic salpingectomy (I group) and 70 patients (average age – 47.2±1.6 years old) – abdominal hysterectomy with opportunistic salpingectomy (II group). The control group included 50 women 45.7±1.3 years old with asymptomatic leiomyoma. Clinical psychopathological, anamnestic and experimental psychological methods were used. Pathopsychological methods included methods of visual presentation of the personality profile using the Minnesota Multifaceted Personality Questionnaire. The survey was conducted at the pre-operative period, during the adaptation period and during 12 months. Statistical processing of monitoring data was carried out according to the φ-criterion using the statistical analysis software package STATISTICA v. 10 and Microsoft Office Excel application. Results. The results of the questionnaire determined that 44 (48.89 %) patients of the I group and 33 (47.14 %) women of the II group had disorders related to anxiety, and 6 (6.67 %) and 5 (7 .14 %) of the patients of both groups, respectively, were diagnosed depression before surgical treatment. After hysterectomy the number of patients with an anxiety disorder increased to 52 (57.78 %) in the I group and 41 (52.57 %) – II group, with depression – to 10 (11.11 %) and 8 (11.43 %) women, respectively. However, the psychopathological analysis with psychologists in 12 months after hysterectomy determined affective symptoms in 11 (15.7±7.0 %), and latent depression with a somatopsychic correlation, manifested by a feeling palpitation, cardialgias, vegetative disorders was found in 8 (11.4±6.0 %) cases. The type of personality accentuation influenced the development of psychoemotional manifestations. In this structure, the largest rate consisted of psychoasthenic and hysterical character traits. The age of the patient was important when analyzing additional psychological factors. Women under 44 years old associated hysterectomy with loss of femininity with premature aging of the organism. The patients with successful implementation of their role in the family and society had better postoperative psychological adaptation.Conclusions. There is a trend toward an increased number of anxiety and depressive disorders after hysterectomy in women with leiomyoma. After 12 months, affective symptoms were present in 11 (15.7±7.0 %) cases and in 8 (11.4±6.0 %) cases – hidden depression.

In addition, these operations do not differ in oncological radicality and do not show differences in relation to survival compared to mastectomy, but their cosmetic and psychological benefits are significant. In search of a balance between the risk of local recurrence and cosmetic results in surgical interventions in breast cancer, new surgical variants were introduced – a combination of breast conserving surgery with plastic surgery, so-called oncoplastic surgery. Oncoplastic surgery has been widely developed in the surgical treatment of breast cancer in the last decade. In oncoplastic breast surgery, the tumors of the upper-inner quadrant of the breast are problematic and require more attention of the surgeon. In these cases the size and location of the tumor are two important factors for the post-operative cosmetic outcome. In this article we introduce a modified dermoglandular rotation flap technique, which can be applied for relatively large tumors of inner quadrant of the breast without surgery of the contralateral breast for symmetrical effect. With this technique, a larger breast tumor could be removed without compromising the breast appearance. An important aspect of breast conserving surgery is preoperative evaluation of the clinical and biological features of the tumor as well as the morphological aspects of tumor allow the surgeon to make a decision if a conservative is possible and select the most effective oncoplastic surgical technique. Oncoplastic techniques may improve cosmetic view and patient satisfaction without compromising the oncological outcomes, which is confirms the clinical utility of this approach to the surgical management of patients with breast cancer. The article also presents clinical cases – 46 years old patient with left breast cancer (stage I cT1N0M0 pT1N0M0) and a patient of 42 years old with right breast cancer (stage I cT1NXM0 pT1N0M0) in the treatment of which the described technique was applied.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"324 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80327981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The attention is paid to such a complication as uterine rupture. The authors consider impractical to evaluate the uterine scar before pregnancy using ultrasound methods and hysteroscopy.Uterine rupture of any type should be documented in the medical history (published), which allows the clinicians and women to better understand factors associated with the risk for rupture and to inform the patient’s decision to deliver by cesarean section or through the vagina.A review and analysis of a case of uterine rupture in a patient after conservative myomectomy is also performed. A 40-weeks pregnant woman was taken to the operating room 12 hours after the start of the acute uterine rupture clinic and decrease of hemodynamic parameters. About 2 liters of blood was found in the abdominal cavity, and a tear up to 7 cm long was determined in the area of the uterine fundus, closer to the left uterine angle. In the female outpatient consultation, during the observation of a pregnant woman who had the laparoscopic intervention – myomectomy, a diagnosis of “scar on the uterus” was not established. Medical documentation providing information on prior surgery was ignored and was not required. During the observation of the pregnant woman, the method of childbirth was not considered by the doctor’s council, and prenatal hospitalization was not performed.By studying the modern scientific sources, there is very little data about factors what increase the risk of uterine rupture, such as penetration into the uterine cavity. Performance of laparoscopic intervention, as a rule, is associated with the implementation of reproductive function in the future. Obstetricians and gynecologists who perform surgical intervention should describe the operation protocol not formally, but taking into account the implementation of the reproductive function. For many women after myomectomy, vaginal delivery can be a safe and feasible option, with patient choice and informed consent regarding the mode of delivery is important. Women should be offered choice and provided with appropriate counseling using all available evidence and monitored during pregnancy and birth in health care institutions that support their choice. This article provides practical recommendations for the management of pregnancy and childbirth in patients who had conservative myomectomy.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72984237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective: to establish the importance of placental factors in the development of PB in pregnant women with comorbid pathology. Materials and methods. The levels of fetal and placental proteins (placental alfa microglobulin-1, α2-microglobulin of fertility, trophoblastic β1-glycoprotein) and hormones (estriol, placental lactogen, progesterone) were determined in 33 pregnant women with threat of PB at 26–34 weeks of gestation (main group), who had concomitant comorbid pathology in the stage of unstable remission. The control group included 26 healthy pregnant women who were representative for gestational age. Results. In pregnant women with comorbid pathology a decrease of the placenta protein-synthesizing function and the hormone-producing function of the trophoblast was found, which makes it difficult to launch the syntoxic adaptation programs of the mother’s organism, which are responsible for maintaining the pregnancy with the subsequent development of placental dysfunction, the result of which is PB.The markers of these disorders are a 3-fold decrease in the level of trophoblastic β1-glycoprotein (p<0.0001) and a 1.7-fold decrease in the concentration of α2-microglobulin of fertility (p<0.0001) with a simultaneous 4-fold increase of placental alfa microglobulin-1 concentration (p<0.0001) and a decrease in the levels of placental lactogen by 1.6 times (p<0.0001), estradiol by 40 % (p<0.0001) and progesterone by more than 2 times (p<0.0001) compared to healthy pregnant women.Conclusions.

Despite the low frequency of FTC, it is quite easy to confuse it with other malignant diseases of the female genital organs, namely, ovarian and endometrial cancer. It is quite difficult to diagnose FTC in time, since the absence of specific symptoms determines the detection of malignant tumors of fallopian tubes only during surgical interventions for benign gynecological pathology or in case of suspicion of ovarian or endometrial cancer. The final diagnosis and primary origin of the tumor can be established only by postoperative histological study.The article presents a review of the literature of scientometric databases on the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of FTC. Based on the analysis of data from the scientific literature, the problem of FTC as a rare and deceptive malignant disease with a rather aggressive course is highlighted, which causes the formation of oncological awareness among obstetricians-gynecologists regarding this type of cancer.According to the literature, it is established that FTC is diagnosed very rarely. Among all cases of malignant tumors of the female genital organs, the frequency of FTC is only 0.14–1.8 %. It was also established that it is possible to diagnose FTC in a time only in 0–21 % of cases, according to other data– up to 10 %.Due to the aggressive course of tubal cancer, the five-year survival rate ranges from 22 till 57 %. Intraoperatively, it is possible to detect malignant tumors of the fallopian tubes only in 50 % of cases. The article provides data on the possible causes of development, clinical symptoms that can be manifested by FTC, as well as methods of diagnosis and treatment of this cancer.FTC is a very deceptive oncological pathology, which can be caused by chronic inflammatory changes in the fallopian tubes, infertility, fallopian tube endometriosis, and BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. First of all, obstetrician-gynecologists should pay attention on abnormal uterine bleeding in the patient, purulent-bloody discharge, pain in the lower abdomen, the phenomenon of “watery tubal discharge”, since these pathological manifestations are typical for FTC. The tumor marker CA-125 and β-subunit of hCG have important meaning, the levels of which are increased by FTC.Significant similarity of clinical symptoms with ovarian and endometrial cancer leads to significant errors in establishing the correct diagnosis. Since malignant tumors of the fallopian tubes can metastasize to groups of lymphatic lymph nodes that are completely atypical for them, it is also necessary to carry out a differential diagnosis with breast cancer, because FTC can manifest itself in the form of axillary lymphadenopathy, and with stomach cancer, in which an isolated increase of the left supraclavicular lymph node (Virchow’s metastasis) can also be observed, which is also characteristic of fallopian tube carcinomas.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"71 3-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91489276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
