Use of a microsurgical vascular clip system (Yasargil clip) in laparoscopic fibroid enucleation
Journal Title: Journal of the Turkish-German Gynecological Association - Year 2020, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
This video demonstrates the use of a microsurgical temporary vascular clip system to facilitate laparoscopic enucleation of uterine fibroids. Throughout the course of the last three decades, the laparoscopic route has been established as the approach of choice in the surgical treatment of uterine fibroids. Laparoscopic fibroid enucleation is characterized by a low morbidity rate and a high patient satisfaction level. Especially when treating a large fibroid or multiple fibroids, the well-vascularized myometrium can constitute a technical challenge in endoscopic fibroid enucleation. Diffuse bleeding may lead to significant intraoperative hemorrhage. The extensive use of bipolar or monopolar diathermy, in order to achieve hemostasis, might lead to post-operative uterine wall necrosis with a potential risk of uterine rupture during subsequent pregnancies. To address this clinical challenge, we developed a technique with temporary interruption of the uterine blood supply by applying a microsurgical vascular clip (Yasargil vascular clip system, Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) to the uterine artery and the utero-ovarian vessel arcade to minimize bleeding during endoscopic fibroid enucleation.
