Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Our purpose was to review the findings of a Gynecologic Endoscopic Review Committee established to monitor and review operative endoscopic procedures performed by the staff at a large private hospital, Swedish Hospital Medical Center, in Seattle. STUDY DESIGN:Hospital charts of patients undergoing the endoscopic procedures under review are pulled monthly, and the data are extracted, particularly as related to performance of the procedures, length of surgery and hospitalization, and occurrence of complications. This study is a compilation of the committee's review of a 15-month interval, Jan. 1, 1992, to March 31, 1993. RESULTS:Forty-two surgeons performed 227 endoscopic procedures on 218 patients, 100 hysteroscopically and 127 laparoscopically. Significant complication rates were associated with the transhysteroscopic operative procedures and with many of the translaparoscopic procedures, including oophorectomy, ovarian cystectomy, myomectomy, pelviscopic lysis of adhesions, and laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy. CONCLUSIONS:A significant complication rate was found for many of the advanced endoscopic procedures performed at Swedish Hospital Medical Center. This is likely related to operator inexperience in performing relatively difficult endoscopic procedures involving new and ever-expanding arrays of techniques and instruments.
