Gynecologic Application of the Pelviscopic Surgery

골반경수술의 부인과적 응용

The aim of this study was to identify the usefulness of pelviscopy in treatment besides its diagnostic value. The advantages of pelviscopic surgery are low cost, rapid recovery, good cosmetic effect, low incidence of complication and postoperative adhesion. So most of the pelvic exploration in gynecologic patients are replaced by the pelviscopic surgery these days. Pelviscopic surgery was performed on 136 patients at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine, Yeungnam University from May 1991 to July 1993. The results obtained were as follows : The age distribution of the patients was from 19 to 55 with age of 31.2 years, and the mean parity was 0.96, the most common indication of pelviscopic surgery was tubal pregnancy(66.9%), the second most common indications was ovarian cyst(10.3%) and the other indications were endometriosis, corpus luteum cyst rupture, parovarian cyst, foreign body, tubal ligation, hydrosalpinx, uterine myoma and diagnostic procedure. The main types of surgery were salpingectomy in 58.8% and salpingoophorectomy in 16.3%. The mean duration of hospitalization was 2.1 days without specific complications. According to these results, it was postulated that the pelviscopic surgery was a useful operative tool in gynecologic treatment and its application could be extended to many other areas of gynecology with safety by the development of surgical techniques and instruments.

1991년 5월 1일부터 1993년 7월 31일까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 산부인과에서 시행한 136례의 골반경수술에서 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 환자의 나이 분포는 19세에서 55세였고 평균 나이는 31.2세였다. 평균 분만력은 0.96이었으며 거의 대부분의 환자는 2회 이하의 분만력을 보였다. 골반경수술의 가장 많은 적응증은 난관 임신이었고 그 다음으로는 난소낭종이었다. 시술 방법은 주로 난관절제술(58.8%)과 난소난관절제술(16.3%)이었고 입원기간은 평균 2.1일이었고 모든 경우에는 특별한 합병증이 없었다. 이러한 연구결과로 보아 골반경수술은 경제적으로나 사회적으로 또 미용학적으로도 좋은 결과를 보였으며 앞으로 다른 많은 부인과 환자에게 안전하게 적용할 수 있으리라 사료된다.
