Fifteen cases clinical analysis of wedge-shaped resection of uterus treating adenomyosis-CONSORT.
To investigate the improvement of dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia after wedge-shaped resection of uterus. The clinical data of 15 patients who experienced wedge-shaped resection of uterus for adenomyosis were retrospectively analyzed from September 2012 to October 2013. We use the amount of the completed soaked napkins to measure the menstrual blood volume, and the visual analog scale to evaluate the degree of dysmenorrhea. We used the 2 index to evaluate the improvement of dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia after operation. All operations were successful, no serious complication occurred. Before the operation, all 15 patients used more than 25 pieces of completed soaked napkins, after the operation, 13 patients had significantly decreased menstrual flow, the average amount of completed soaked napkins was 3.6. Meanwhile, 2 patients had no menstrual after surgery. Before the operation, among the 10 patients with severe dysmenorrhea, 9 patients had significant relief on pain, they only experienced slight pain after surgery, only 1 patient still experienced moderate pain. Two patients with slight pain had no pain after operation. Among the 3 patients with moderate pain, 2 patients experienced slight pain and 1 patient felt no pain after operation. The wedge-shaped resection of uterus is a safe and effective procedure to significantly reduce menorrhagia and alleviate the extent of dysmenorrhea, which is a promising alternative for patient who suffered from dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia for adenomyosis.
