Description
MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS AND KIT FOR USE IN UTERINE PATHOLOGY
The invention relates to a kit of medical instruments and to a method for the surgical treatment of the moderate or advanced prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall, of the moderate or large cystocele, of stages I, II or III uterine prolapse or of the rectocele combined or not with another uterine or ovarian pathology, such as, uterine fibroma or benigne ovarian cysts.
Uterine prolapse means the uterus descent into the vaginal axis- and outside it, accompanied by the movement to the same direction of the vagina walls and of the adjacent portions of the urinary bladder and rectum, namely a progressive descent into the small basin of the uterus.
This explains the herniation, and the uterine prolapse, respectively, outside the vulval commissure in various stages.
The prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall and of the uterus are included in statica pelvina disorders, being the result of the disbalance between the propulsive abdominal and gravity forces., on the one hand, and the resistance force opposed thereto (resulting, from the conjugated action of the means for orientation and sustaining the uterine support), on the other hand.
From the pbysiopatho!ogical viewpoint, the dynamic anatomic concept, made known to the public by Petros Popa in 1996, explains the close relationships between structure and function, the force supporting, the pelvic structures being maintained intact by the good functioning of the suspension elements consisting of the pubourethral ligaments, uterosacral ligaments, tendinous arch of endopeivic fascia .
Among the risk factors- determining, this pathology the following are to be mentioned:
- obesity, smoking, pulmonary diseases, chronic constipation
- loss of the muscular tonus associated with aging and postmenopausal lowering of the estrogen quantity
- multiple childbirths or giving birth to a high weight child.
All these factors constitute the main cause for relaxing and weakening the means for supporting the small basin organs, that explains the occurrence of the clinical symptoms, consisting in the feeling of heaviness at the lower portion of the pelvis, lumbar spine pain when walking, dysuria, dyspareunia^, the feeling that "something is going to fall out/is sitting on a ball", introitus irritation and ulcerations of prolobate organs.
Uterine prolapse particularly affects postmenopausal women who gave birth naturally, had a difficult childbirth or more times.
All these symptoms create a biological and social discomfort for the patient.
There are known med^ instrument kits for surgery treatment in uterine pathology, said kits comprising a scalpel, two scissors, six Pean clamps, four Kocher clamps, a metal* bladder probe, two Farabeuf retractors, a clamp for anchoring the uterine isthmus and two isthmus and suburethral slings, respectively - patent application WO 2014 107 117* A2
Disadvantages of these kits consist in that they do not allow an anatomical reinstatement of the uterus in its normal position in order to prevent static pelvina disorders, erosions and erroneous positioning of the vaginal walls in case of surgery by the vaginal route, and in case of a uterine fibroma associated with uterine prolapse, the instrument kit only allows total or subtotal hysterectomy.
There are known methods for the treatment of the uterine prolapse, which consist in making, by means of a scalpel, a reversed "T"-shaped incision of the anterior portion of the uterus cervix, then detaching, from the lateral side, the urinary bladder mucosa-; and the latter from the uterus cervic, up to the level of the uterine isthmus, further identifying the vesico-urethral junction by means of the right hand forefinger which penetrates paraurethral, retropubic and suprasymphyseal* carrying out, in turn, one of the two right- hand and- left hand tunnels, respectively, then the incision is continued of the rear face of the uterus cervix and detachin the vaginal musosa, followed by pinching, sectioning and- ligating the cardinal ligaments and fixing the isthmie sfing by the long portion, and the short portion- is sutured on the front face of the uterine isthmus, continuing by making, by means of the scalpel, another suprapubic incision in; order to allow
the passing, in turn, of all threads through the tunnels, penetrating, into the rectus abdominis muscle sheath, that are introduced, in turn, anteriorly through the orifices in a proximal curved region of the clamp, that allows to carry out colpectomy and anterior colporrhaphy, as well as the suturing of the posterior incision on the uterus cervix, thereafter the suburethral sling being mounted at the cysto rethral junction level, so that the two ends of the threads thereof can be anchored at the rectus abdominis muscle sheath, under the control of the urethral probe, there being, obtained a urethra elongation as against the anchoring of the suburethral sling threads ends and further on there takes place the pulling and legating. of the isthmic sling threads ends up to bringing the uterus cervix back into a position as close as possible to the normal- one, then, by means of the short portion of the isthmic sling, the uterine isthmus is covered and fixed on the anterior face, finally, the short portion end being cut according to the female patient's dimension and fixed under the long, portion in the uterine isthmus and suturing the incision - the patent application US no. 20†5 0335 413 A.
Disadvantages- of these methods consist in that they do not allow another benign uterine pathology, such as uterus fibroma or another benign adnexal ovarian pathology and the anatomical reinstatement of the uterus into its normal position, respectively, to be also solved during these operatingtimes..
There is known a use of the medical instrument kit for restoring the adjacent anatomic connections for the first, second or third stage uterine prolapse and for marked cystoce!e - permagna, respectively.
The partial technical problems solved by the kit according to the claimed inventions consist in repositioning the uterus into its normal anatomic position and maintaining it in this position over time, eliminating the reoccurence of the prolapse and, in applying a complete, efficient and long-lasting surgical treatment of the stage I, II or III uterine prolapse, of the moderate or advanced cystocele or of the rectocele associated or not with another benign uterine or adnexal pathology, respectively.
The kit claimed by the invention eliminates, the previously shown disadvantages, and solves the technical problem by the fact that comprises a box
provided with some compartments that are constructively adequate for accommodating, a scalpel, 6 Pean clamps, 4 Kocher clamps, 2 surgical' scissors, a clamp for anchoring, the uterine isthmus, a sling for isthmus fixation, 2 Farabeuf retractors and resorbable and non-resorbable suturing, threads, of which the clamp consists of a smooth rigid body provided with two distal" portions inclined, starting, in front of a distal bridge up to their integrally joining, to form an intermediary, rectilinear portion having a width decreasing up to a proximal end, in front of which it is continued with a proximal portion, profiled in the shape of a semicircle, ending with a* blunt tip, in whose proximity there is made an ovel orifice, and in the close proximity of the bridge, some guiding rings are joined to form one piece on the distal portions, and the sling for isthmus fixation consists of a body consisting of a medically acceptable propylene material in the form of a network having, some meshes, to the ends of the body there are ligated, in turn, one of some non-resorbable threads, made of polypropylene, provided with two of some free ends, this last mentioned body being provided with two circular internal regions, namely a small one and a big one,, respectively.
The instrument kit claimed by the invention also solves the technical problem by the fact that the clamp body length is of 25.0 cm, from the lower level of the rings up to the proximal end of the intermediary portion this having a length of 23.0 cm, and the blunt tip is placed at a distance of 17.0 cm from the lower level of the rings.
The kit claimed by the invention also solves the technical, problem in that the semicircular proximal portion of the clamp body is so arranged into the plane in relation to the proximal portion and, the blunt tip thereof, respectively is at a distance of 7,0 cm and 6.5 cm, respectively.
The kit claimed by the invention also solves the technical, problem in thai in the proximal portion- of the clamp body, at a distance. of 0.5 cm from the blunt, tip, there is made an oval orifice having a length of 0.04 cm and a width of 0.02 cm.
The kit claimed by the invention also solves the technical problem in that the length and- width of the sling for fixing the isthmus have values of 25.0 cm
and 1.1 cm, respectively, and the dimension of some meshes that form the network thereof is of 0.03 mm.
The kit claimed by the invention also solves, the technical problem in that, at a distance of 7.0 cm from the right hand end of the sling body, there is located a- small interior circular region- near which-, at a distance of 2.0 cm, there is situated the large interior circular region, located at a distance of 13:0 cm i relation to the left hand end-, and the diameters of the small and large interior circular zones are equal to 2.0 cm and 2.5-cm, respectively.
The method claimed by the invention eliminates the previously shown disadvantages and solves the technical problem in that it is carried out during, the following operating times:
- operating time i, wherein, by means- of the scalpel a main median pubosubumbilical or lower transversal incision is made;
