RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To determine if transversus abdominis plane anesthetic blockage (TAP block) diminishes early postoperative pain scores and facilitates ambulatory management following total laparoscopic hysterectomy. DESIGN: Randomized triple blind trial. SETTING: Gynecological endoscopy unit at a referral center for laparoscopic surgery. POPULATION: A total of 197 patients. METHODS: Comparison of a treatment group receiving TAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% and placebo group with comparably placed bilateral injection of sterile saline solution. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pain scores at discharge 24, 48 and 72 h after surgery, opioid requirement after procedure. RESULTS: Patients who had TAP block had a significant reduction in their pain score at discharge compared with the placebo group (p = 0.017). There were no significant differences in the pain scores between groups at 24 h (95% CI 1.36-0.133, p = 0.237), 48 h (95% CI 0.689-0.465, p = 0.702) and 72 h (95% CI -0.631 to 0.223, p = 0.347). No differences were found between the groups regarding opioid requirements following the procedure (χ(2) = 3.62, p = 0.46). CONCLUSION: Although TAP block after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy reduced the pain score at discharge compared with placebo, its role in this setting is debatable due to the possible lack of clinical significance of the small difference found.

Sciatic hernia constitutes the scarcest group of hernias of pelvic floor; however, they should be considered in the origin of chronic pelvic pain. The proper diagnosis of sciatic hernias has allowed to surgeons treating successfully patients with acute or chronic pelvic pain, with intestinal or ureteral obstruction and with urinary or gluteus sepsis. It has to be considered as differential diagnosis before the finding of a congenital or acquired gluteus mass. Laparoscopist gynecologist should know the existence of this defect, to be familiar with its aspect in laparoscopic view and to know the laparoscopic treatment of this disease.

Objetivo: conocer y comparar los índices de fertilidad luego de salpingostomía vs. salpingectomía laparoscópicas en pacientes con embarazo ectópico.Diseño y población: cohorte concurrente de pacientes sometidas a cirugía de embarazo ectópico por laparoscopia en la Unidad de Cirugía Endoscópica Ginecológica, Clínica del Prado, Medellín, Colombia.Metodología: revisión de historias clínicas e interrogatorio telefónico a pacientes que cumplieron criterios de inclusión.Variables principales: tasa global de embarazo intrauterino, tasa acumulada por año de embarazo intrauterino, tasa de recurrencia de ectópico, tasa de persistencia de ectópico.Resultados: 31 pacientes en el grupo de salpingostomía y 14 pacientes en el grupo de salpingectomía. La tasa global de embarazo intrauterino después de salpingostomía fue de 54,8 por ciento comparada con 57,1 por ciento para salpingectomía (p = 0,88). Se presentaron recurrencias en el 10,5 por ciento de las salpingostomías y en el 20 por ciento de las salpingectomías (p = 0,77). La tasa de persistencia de ectópico después de manejo conservador fue de 9,6 por ciento.Conclusiones: este estudio no demuestra diferencias significativas en los índices reproductivos al comparar salpingostomía vs. salpingectomía laparoscópicas.
