Ultrasound-guided transvaginal cyst aspiration for the management of pelvic pseudocyst: a preliminary experience.

چکیده
BACKGROUND While some research has been reported on the use of transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration of ovarian cysts, none has been reported for pseudocysts. Sometimes laparotomy patients experience recurrent pelvic psuedocysts for which they may need to undergo another laparotomy. The use of transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration of pelvic pseudocysts may make repeated laparotmies unnecessary. METHODS Between April 1993 and October 2001, 14 outpatients with postoperative pelvic pseudocysts underwent transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspirations with or without surgical starch irrigation. All patients had previously undergone pelvic surgeries for adenomyosis and leiomyoma, except one was stage lb cervical cancer. A total of 25 treatment cycles by transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration were included: 15 cycles with starch and 10 cycles without. RESULTS The 13 patients with more than 6 months follow-up had a total of 25 aspiration cycles, 22 of which (88%) had no recurrent cyst by the end of their 6-month follow-up period. Eighteen out of 25 cycles (72%) had no evidence of recurrence after 12 months of follow-up. Five patients needed only one aspiration to become disease free and six patients needed two aspirations. Only 2 patients needed 3 or more aspirations procedures. After 12 months of follow up, 33% of those irrigated with starch had a recurrent pelvic pseudocyst while 30% without starch experienced recurrence. CONCLUSION Because it eliminates necessity of repeat laparotomy, transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration of pelvic pseudocysts may become a preferred treatment for recurrent pelvic pseudocysts.

I-46: Ultrasound Guided Aspiration of Ovarian Cyst
Ultrasonography is the primary imaging tool for a patient considered to have an ovarian cyst. On a sonogram, simple ovarian cysts have a uniformly thin, rounded wall and a unilocular appearance that is either hypoechoic or anechoic. They usually measure 2.5-15 cm in diameter, and posterior acoustic enhancement (a hyperechoic area) may be visible deep to the fluid-filled cyst. Most commonly, the...

A 38 year old woman was thought to have bilateral polycystic ovaries and an absence of pelvic or abdominal adhesions at diagnostic laparoscopy. Post-operative transvaginal ultrasound noted bilateral homogeneous hypo-echoic masses with low-level echoes consistent with endometriomas. Transvaginal aspiration was unsuccessful due to the viscosity of the cyst contents. At second laparoscopy severe a...
