Reproductive performance of severely symptomatic women with uterine adenomyoma who wanted preservation of the uterus and underwent combined surgical-medical treatment.
To assess the factors associated with future pregnancy and successful delivery in women who were treated for uterine adenomyoma with combination (surgical-medical) therapy using ultramini- or mini-laparotomy conservative surgery and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist.. One hundred and two women were evaluated. Items for analysis included: age, body mass index, and conception history; clinical symptoms of dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia; tumor location and preoperative serum level of cancer antigen 125 (CA125); the intraoperative findings of the weight of the removed tumor, and the uterine cavity opening.. After excluding those patients using contraception or searching for an assisted reproductive technique, a total of 56 women were enrolled for analysis. Twenty-three (41.1%) women had 27 clinical pregnancies after 3 years of follow-up; 15 went on to deliver a healthy live-born child; two delivered preterm but healthy babies; seven had elective abortions; four had spontaneous abortions; and one had an ectopic pregnancy. The women who had a successful delivery during the 3-year follow-up after treatment tended to be younger, with a lower body mass index, lower baseline analgesic usage score, and lower preoperative serum level of CA125, be nulliparous, and with an adenoma in an anterior location. The linear regression model showed that age and baseline analgesic usage score were independent predictors of successful delivery and accounted for 56.5% of the total variance related to successful delivery.. Age was an important factor associated with future successful delivery, therefore, caution should be taken in considering the maintenance of future fertility in older women treated with surgical-medical therapy.

Comparison of surgery alone and combined surgical-medical treatment in the management of symptomatic uterine adenomyoma.
To compare the efficacy of surgical-medical treatment and surgery alone in the treatment of uterine symptomatic adenomyoma.. Prospective nonrandomized study.. Medical centers.. One hundred sixty-five women treated with conservative adenomyomectomy.. Surgery followed by six-course treatment (n = 114, surgical-medical group) or no treatment (n = 51, surgery-alone group) with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist regimen.. Symptom relief (scale: 0, no symptoms, to 5, worst symptoms) and relapse (when any one scale was > or =2 after treatment) during the 2-year follow-up period.. The general characteristics of the patients were similar in both groups, except for the diameter of the adenomyoma and age. Patients in both groups had statistically significant symptom relief, and all symptom scores declined from a mean of 3 or 4 to a mean of 1 or less at the end of the 2-year follow-up period. The symptom-relapse rates in the surgical-medical group were statistically significantly lower than those in the surgery alone group (n = 32, 28.1% vs. n = 25, 49.0%, respectively).. Conservative surgery, regardless of GnRH agonist treatment, may be acceptable for management of a selected population with severe symptomatic adenomyoma. However, surgical-medical treatment provided more effective symptom control (a lower symptom relapse rate) than surgery alone during the 2-year follow-up period.

Fertility-sparing surgery for diffuse adenomyosis: a narrated, stepwise approach to the Osada procedure.
To equip reproductive surgeons with an approach to the Osada procedure and critical prophylactic hemostatic measures that optimize perioperative outcomes.. Stepwise demonstration of the Osada procedure with narrated video footage.. Definitive management of symptomatic adenomyosis requires hysterectomy. However, adenomyomectomy can improve symptoms and restore anatomy while maintaining fertility potential. Limited but comparable perioperative outcomes exist for minimally invasive methods of adenomyomectomy, and most involve resection of focal, not diffuse, adenomyosis. Among the literature involving resection of diffuse adenomyosis using minimally invasive methods, relatively small volumes of resected tissue are reported and none include obstetric outcomes. Most published reports for excision of diffuse adenomyosis involve laparotomic resection, likely because of specific intraoperative challenges curtailed by this approach. In response, a laparoscopic-assisted laparotomic approach was developed in 2011 by Dr. Hisao Osada, a reproductive surgeon in Japan. This procedure involves aggressive excision of adenomyotic tissue with prophylactic hemostatic techniques and subsequent uterine wall reconstruction using a triple-flap method. Compared with other excisional methods for diffuse adenomyomectomy, the Osada procedure has the best reported obstetric outcomes.. A 37-year-old nulliparous female presented with pelvic pain, bulk symptoms, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. Physical examination demonstrated a 20-week, bulky uterus with limited bimanual mobility. Her endometrial cavity was inaccessible because of marked anatomic distortion. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed marked abnormality of her endometrial contour because of a 15 cm adenomyoma with diffuse adenomyomatous tissue in the posterior uterine compartment. Prior interventions included a trial of combined hormonal contraceptive, leuprolide acetate, and tranexamic acid. She was interested in fertility-sparing adenomyomectomy to address symptoms and fertility potential and chose to proceed with the Osada procedure. She was optimized medically with oral and parenteral iron therapy to bring her hemoglobin from 55-111 g/L preoperatively. Institutional review board approval and informed consent from the patient were obtained.. The Osada procedure was performed using the following 8 surgical steps: Systemic administration of tranexamic acid was also administered intraoperatively.. Perioperative blood loss, anatomic normalization, symptom remediation, and maintenance of fertility potential.. Perioperative blood loss was minimal, 469 g of adenomyotic tissue was extracted, and discharge was on postoperative day 2 without any complications. Three months later, cyclic pain and bleeding had improved markedly, ultrasound confirmed Doppler flow throughout the uterus, hysterosalpingogram demonstrated a nonobliterated endometrial cavity and tubal patency, and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed normalized uterine dimensions measuring 11 × 7 cm from 19 × 10 cm. Most literature supports waiting at least 6-12 months and until demonstration of normalized uterine blood flow in the operated area before attempting conception.. Fertility-sparing excision of diffuse adenomyosis can be achieved safely using the Osada procedure, following the 8 discrete steps demonstrated in this video. Reproductive surgeons can reference this video to teach and maintain this important procedure.

Laparoscopic bipolar coagulation for the conservative treatment of adenomyomata.
To assess the effectiveness of treating adenomyomata with laparoscopic bipolar coagulation.. Prospective, observational study. Setting. The gynecology department of a community hospital.. Ten women, each with severe dysmenorrhea, chronic menorrhagia, and adenomyomata diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.. Laparoscopic bipolar coagulation of adenomyomata.. The mean (+/- SEM) total adenomyoma volume before leuprolide acetate administration was 119 +/- 16 cm3 (range 6-190 cm3); after 3 months of therapy this was reduced to 86 +/- 8 cm3 (range 6-162 cm3, p <0. 0001) a 27.7% reduction. Further reduction occurred 7 to 12 months postoperatively to 31 +/- 3.4 cm3 (range 3-155 cm3, p <0.0001), a 73.9% reduction from baseline. Twelve months postoperatively, seven (70.0%, p <0.05) women had continued resolution or significant reduction of dysmenorrhea and resolution of menorrhagia. One woman (10.0%) with unresolved dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia required hysterectomy, and two (20.0%) with recurrent menorrhagia required resection of the endomyometrium; one continued to have menorrhagia but refused further surgical or medical treatment.. Conservative treatment obviated the need for major surgery in 90% of women with adenomyomata, but further evaluation of this technique is necessary to determine its definitive role.
