Purpose of review
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a common surgical procedure for symptomatic myomas. However, bleeding control during surgery may pose a challenge. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review recent evidence regarding interventions to control bleeding during laparoscopic myomectomy.
Recent findings
The use of vasopressin resulted in less blood loss compared to placebo. Barbed sutures reduced blood loss compared to conventional sutures. Intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid (TXA) in the intraoperative period of large myomectomies showed no significant difference compared to placebo. Uterine artery occlusion (UAO) and emergency uterine artery embolization were reported to be feasible and may reduce and treat bleeding before conversion to laparotomy.
Summary
Several methods can control bleeding during laparoscopic myomectomy. Vasopressin and barbed sutures resulted in decreased blood loss, and TXA did not have an impact on bleeding control. The use of UAO and emergency embolization techniques can contribute to the control of bleeding; however, further studies are needed to prove the efficacy of these and other agents.
A varrição integra os serviços de limpeza urbana e, apesar de sua insalubridade, não se conhece bem seu padrão de morbidade. Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar a prevalência relativa aos sintomas osteomusculares, da intensidade da dor e, posteriormente, verificar a associação dessas variáveis com a capacidade de trabalho (CT) de varredoras de rua que prestam serviço de varrição urbana. Foram utilizados, na pesquisa, quatro instrumentos de coleta de dados, sendo uma ficha de anamnese e três questionários, são eles: Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares (QNSO); a Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating and Scale (FACES) e o Índice de Capacidade Para o Trabalho (ICT). As regiões prevalentemente mais afetadas foram Quadril/MMII e ombros. Foram encontradas associações entre a CT, a intensidade de dor e a presença de sintomas osteomusculares em distintas regiões do corpo.
