Removal of intra-abdominal tumors using natural orifices

Avoid open abdomen, no scar Surgery time is short, less bleeding, fast recovery A few days ago, 45-year-old Ms. Chen Yueh-Lian (a pseudonym) was introduced by her friends to our hospital for the treatment of uterine fibroids, Chen Long, director of the Department of Gynecology, and Zhang Ping, deputy director of the Department of gynecology, teamed up with Ms. Chen to carry out a transvaginal fibroid removal surgery, which lasted for half an hour, with bleeding of 50 ml only, and the stripping of a fibroid with a diameter of 10 cm in size. Since the surgery was not performed in the abdominal cavity, the damage was very small, so the patient recovered very quickly after the surgery and was able to get up and move around the next day. After the operation, Ms. Chen told the doctor: “The doctor in her hometown told her that she had to open the abdomen to take out the uterus, the heart is very afraid, fortunately, my friends introduced me to the city hospital, encountered Director Chen technology such a good doctor, not only to save my uterus, and recovered so quickly, is really too happy!” According to Director Chen, after years of clinical exploration, more than 99% of uterine fibroids can be minimally invasive treatment under laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, negative or vascular intervention, and an optimal treatment plan can be selected for the patient according to the size and location of the fibroid and the patient’s individual needs. Ms. Chen’s fibroid was located at the back of the uterine body and was relatively large. The traditional surgical methods were transabdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy, while the current surgical approach was transvaginal myomectomy, which caused minimal damage to the patient. With the unique anatomical feature that the uterus and vagina are connected to the outside world, the transvaginal series of surgeries utilize the vagina as a natural orifice to perform the surgery, which exempts the patients from the pain of open abdomen. Moreover, the operation time is short, intraoperative bleeding is less, postoperative recovery is fast, and there are fewer complications. Especially for obese patients, it avoids the problems of fat liquefaction and poor healing of the incision caused by the large abdominal incision. The negative surgery carried out by our gynecology department covers a series of surgeries such as myomectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, total hysterectomy, and negative hysterectomy with subtotal or total hysterectomy, and it is the hospital that carries out the widest and the most complete series of transvaginal surgeries in the city at the present time.
