1 : Safety and Efficacy Frances R. Batzer, MD, MBE Clinical Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Philadelphia, PA Safety and Efficacy Learning Objectives Describe patient and site preparations for safe and efficient cyst aspiration Demonstrate how cyst fluid evaluation can be useful in diagnosis and treatment Understand the concordance between sonographic picture and pelvic pathology in relationship to fluid aspiration Appreciate the use of transvaginal probe for performing a form of minimally invasive operative endoscopy with regard to fluid aspiration Transvaginal Sonographic Guidance of Puncture Procedures: Minimally Invasive Surgery Sonographically Guided Operative and Puncture Procedures Puncture Procedures 1) Oocyte retrieval 2) Ovum/pelvic cyst aspiration 3) Transmyometrial embryo transfer 4) Ectopic pregnancy treatment 5) Culdocentesis 6) Pelvic fluid/abscess drainage 7) Selective fetal reduction 8) Chorionic villus sampling/early amniocentesis Technique for Transvaginal Sonographically Guided Puncture Procedures 1) Preliminary scan to confirm findings, biopsy guide on monitor, etc.; document findings 2) Placement of IV for sedation (optional) 3) Antibiotic oral or IV (optional) 4) Vaginal prep (saline or providine iodine 10% solution) 5) Placement of local anesthesia or paracervical block (optional) 6) Attachment of biopsy needle guide to probe 1
2 Technique for Transvaginal Sonographically Guided Puncture Procedures 7) Attach aspirating needle to IV connector tubing and syringe or pump 8) Fill aspirating needle with local anesthesia (optional) or normal saline 9) Place probe in vagina; advance needle injecting local anesthesia if desired 10) Aspirate/inject 11) Remove needle and observe for several minutes; document findings 12) Observe patient for minutes in recovery area Needle Guide on Monitor Screen Note cm markings indicate depth of penetration Needle gauge: no larger than 15 gauge will pass through guide Transvaginal Sonographically Guided Operative and Puncture Procedures Applications beyond the limits of fertility Preparation of the patient s vagina: Sterile water/normal saline for oocyte retrieval Provodine iodine solution 10% Other fluid aspirations 2

6 Follicle flushing: Low Complication Rate Especially for Infection Prior to Initiation of Ovulation Induction: Follicle flushing: Initially felt to yield more oocytes Increased time of retrieval Larger double lumen needle used initially Obstructs visualization due to air entry Questionably more fertilizable oocytes Questionable increased pregnancy rate Evidence not necessary (Ritz, Fertil Steril 1990) Transmyometrial oocyte retrieval (Wisanto et al, Human Reprod 1989) Trans Myometrial Embryo Transfer Application: In Presence of Severe Cervical Stenosis Success rates comparable (Katos, et al Fertil Steril 1993) OVARIAN FOLLICULAR LOOK-ALIKE 1.
