Abstract:
Objective To study the feasibility of re-operation of gynecological laparoscopy.Methods Clinical records of 47 patients with gynecological diseases undergoing a re-laparoscopy from December 1995 December 2003 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The re-operations of laparoscopy were successfully accomplished in 46 patients(97.9%) while a conversion to open surgery was required in 1 patient.The re-operation time was 30~80 min(mean,50 min),and the in-hospital stay was 2.5~5 days(mean,3.5 days).No long-term complications were noted in 44 patients on a postoperative follow-up for(1~4) years.Out of 19 patients with infertility, 1 patient had a natural pregnancy and 6 patients were pregnant with the help of artificial reproductive techniques.Supportive medical treatment had been given in patients with endometriosis postoperatively,3 of whom experienced symptomatic improvements and 1 of whom had a natural pregnancy.Conclusions For patients with a history of laparoscopy,a re-operation of gynecological laparoscopy is safe and feasible.
