Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

908
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
  • Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
  • Neuroanatomy in Pelvic Surgery

Background:

  • Sacropexy is the gold standard for apical prolapse, but associated with unsatisfactory subjective outcomes.
  • Postoperative voiding, bowel, and sexual dysfunctions are linked to iatrogenic denervation during laparoscopic sacropexy (LSP).
  • A nerve-preserving approach is crucial to mitigate morbidity associated with LSP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a novel nerve-preserving technique during laparoscopic sacropexy (LSP).
  • To reduce iatrogenic nerve injury and associated postoperative dysfunctions in patients with multicompartment pelvic organ prolapse.

Main Methods:

  • A step-by-step video demonstration of the nerve-preserving LSP technique.
  • Detailed description of three surgical steps: peritoneal opening, pelvic sidewall dissection, and rectovaginal space dissection.
  • Emphasis on identifying and preserving the right hypogastric nerve (rHN) and avoiding injury to rectal and bladder nerve plexuses.

Main Results:

  • The described technique allows for visualization of nerve pathways and critical anatomical structures.
  • The nerve-preserving approach is feasible and follows well-defined surgical steps.
  • Potential to reduce iatrogenic morbidity by safeguarding neural structures during LSP.

Conclusions:

  • A nerve-sparing approach to pelvic spaces during LSP is achievable.
  • The technique enables surgeons to visualize neural pathways and hazardous anatomical structures.
  • This method aims to improve subjective outcomes by minimizing nerve-related complications.
