UroGyn Prolog Flashcards
gartner duct cyst
- embryonic remnant of mesonephric or wolffian duct
- posterior or lateral vagina, filled with serous or mucinous fluid
- adolescence is common
- many asymptomatic, some cant insert tampon
- treatment: expectant management vs marsupialization
uretheral diverticula
- can be asympt, but often with post void dribbling, urinary incontinence, dysuria, dysparunia
- MRI is how you diagnose
- anterior vaginal wall, 3 cm distal no the anterior wall
- usually adult women
bartholin gland cyst
- secrete muscus and lubricat the vagina
- empty into 4 and 8 ocolock ducts of the vaginal vestibule
distal to hymenal ring
Pronephric duct
- embryologic structure tha regresses
- if doesn’t regress correctly causes abnormal kidney development
Skeene glands
- periurtethral glands
- “female prostate”
- if obstructed they are swollen and painful
- dx via physical exam, anterior wall of vaginal lateral to urethral meauts
stages of anterior/posterior wall prolapse POP-Q system
0: none
1: most distal portion is 1cm above the hymen
2: between 1 cm above and 1 cm below hymen
3: more than 1cm below hymen, but 2cm shorter than total vaginal lenght
4. complete eversion
pelvic support muscles
- levator ani muscle complex (puborectalis, pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus)
- endopelvic fascia
ligamentous support of vagina : levels 1-3
1: vaginal apex (cardinal ligament-uterosacral ligaments are attached to pubocervical and rectovaginal fascial rings and suspends apex of vagina
2: midvaginal lateral suport where pubocervical fascia is attached laterally to the ARCUS TENDEUS FASCIA PELVIS
3. : support via distal vaginal attachments to perineal membrane ventrally and perineal body dorsally
= USLS, sacrospinous ligament suspension, iliococcygeus fascia suspension
anterior wall prolapse ahve what type of support loss
65% have level 1 loss (support at vaginal apex)
- means anterior repair alone often isn’t that helpful long term (w/wo mesh, it needs an apical support surgery add on)
- sacrospinous and iliococcygeus optoins are extraperitoneal, USLS is intraperitonal (duh)
wound breakdown after OASIS repair
- address active infectin
- reoperate whenever no further sign of infection
- stool softeners afterwards
- do it in an OR
risk for OASIS
- primiparity
- asian/hisptanic descent-
- AMA
- higher infant birth weight
- forcep assisted delivery (esp with midline epis) 4-5x higher than vacuum, 1-15x higher than SVD
- vacuum extraction, 1-4x higher for SVD
- prolonged second stage of labor
- midline episiotomy
- persisent OP presentation (could rotate head)
- squatting positions 2x higher
- being really skinny (higher weight is protective)
recurrent UTI definition and wu
- 2 in last 6 months OR 3 in last 12 months
- give suppression meds
- if dont’ respond to treatment, then image kidney or bladder US or CT urography
when is cystoscopy warrented?
- gross hematuria
- microscopic hematuria
- (looking for cancer)
- (or looking for mesh errosion for pt with frequent UTIs after surgery, looking for forieign body sp surgery for source of infection)
when get renal US?
- concern for renal anomaly, nephrolithiasis, hydronephrosis
treatment of post menopausal UTI
- non- recurrnet then attempt estrogen first
- lower vaginal pH , therefore shifting colonization away from enterobacteriaceae (helps prevent UTIs)
POP Q
all urogyn pts gets
H&P
- UA, UCx
- void amount and PVR
- cough test
- urethral mobility testing
urge incont
- leaking on way to bathroom, sometimes with sneazing, overnight
- treatment 1st line beh mod: mod amount/timing of water intake, timed voiding
- 2nd line: anticholinergics, B-agonists (megbetron),
- 3rd tline: botulimsm A injections into the detrusor muscle with cystoscopy (complication is UTIs and retention), percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (placed at ankle and stimulate the peripheral tibial nerve), sacral neuromodulation (plant a trial implant at s3 nerve root, then put in longterm one (or take out not working test lead in OR), complications include explantation due to surgical site infection)
treatment SUI
- PFPT (found to be better than pessary)
- weight loss
- ring pessary
- periurethral bulking
- (urodynamic testing prior to surgery if they have complicated incontinence or a confouding exam to rule out other forces of urianry problems, cough + test only thing necessary if normal stress incontinence)
