McCune Albright syndrome is characterized by the clinical triad of precocious puberty, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and café-au-lait pigmentation. Authors reported the case of a 6 years old girl presenting with vaginal bleeding. Investigations showed high serum oestrogen levels, with low FSH and LH levels. Ultrasonography revealed a multiloculated right ovarian cyst. Based on the history and investigations, the patient was diagnosed as a case of precocious puberty. In order to rule out the presence of any ovarian malignancy, tumour markers were sent and found to be within the normal range. A CT pelvis was done which revealed fibrous dysplasia of the pelvic bone. The coexistence of precocious puberty with fibrous dysplasia confirmed the diagnosis of McCune Albright syndrome.
Introduction: Laparoscopic hysterectomy is the most emerging route with major drawback of long learning curve and longer initial time taken for surgery. Objectives: 1) To compare two different routes of hysterectomy: abdominal and laparoscopic in terms of surgical outcomes and complications. 2) To see the learning curve of laparoscopic hysterectomy. Material and Methods: 100 patients admitted for hysterectomy were divided into two groups of 50 each, first group planned for abdominal hysterectomy and second group planned for laparoscopic route. Data was collected regarding amount of blood loss, duration of surgery, post operative requirement of analgesics, duration of hospital stay, and post operative complications in both groups. Results: The main indications for hysterectomy were fibroid, AUB, adenomyosis, endometrial hyperplasia and polyp in both groups. The average blood loss in TAH group (n=50) was 285 ml and in TLH group (n=50) was 246 ml (p=0.0588). Average blood loss in first 25 cases of TLH was 348 ml and in next 25 cases was 144 ml, which was highly significant. The average time taken in TAH group was 95 minutes, and in TLH group was 141 minutes (p=1.415E-13) which was highly significant. In TLH group, the average time taken in first 25 cases was 166 minutes and in next 25 cases it was 116 minutes which is significant. Requirement of analgesics and duration of stay was less in TLH group. Minor complications like fever, UTI were comparable in both groups. Conclusion: Learning curve of laparoscopic hysterectomy can be reduced with good team work, a proper selection of patients, and the use of good instruments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
