gynecological or abdominal surgery
previous ectopic pregnancies
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
height, weight, BP
breast exam
abdominal exam
pelvic exam including
• observation of external genitalia
• speculum exam +/– smears and swabs
• bimanual exam
• cervix size, consistency, os, and tenderness
• uterus size, consistency, contour, position, shape,
mobility, and other masses
• adnexal mass, tenderness
• rectovaginal exam
• rectal exam
INVESTIGATIONS
Bloodwork
CBC
• evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding, preoperative investigation
ßhCG
• investigation of possible pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy,
work-up for GTN
• monitored after the medical management of ectopic and in
GTN to assess for cure and recurrences
LH, FSH, TSH, PRL
• amenorrhea, menstrual irregularities, menopause, infertility, etc...
Notes APPROACH TO THE PATIENT . . . CONT.
Imaging
ultrasound
• transvaginal ultrasound provides enhanced details of structures located
near the apex of the vagina; i.e. intrauterine and adnexal structures
• may be used for
• acute or chronic pelvic pain
• rule in or out ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine pregnancy
• assess uterine, adnexal, ovarian masses (i.e. solid or cystic)
• uterine thickness
• follicle monitoring during assisted reproduction
hysterosalpingography
• an x-ray is taken after contrast is introduced through the
cervix into the uterus
• contrast flows through the tubes and into the peritoneal
cavity if the tubes are patent
• used for evaluation of size, shape, configuration of uterus,
tubal patency or obstruction
sonohystography
• saline infusion into endometrial cavity under ultrasound
visualization expands endometrium, allowing visualization
of uterus and fallopian tubes
• useful for investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding,
uncertain endometrial findings on vaginal U/S, infertility,
congenital/acquired uterine abnormalities (i.e. uterus
didelphys, uni/bicornate, arcuate uterus)
• easily done, minimal cost, extremely well-tolerated,
sensitive and specific
• more accurate than hysterosalpingography and frequently
avoids need for hysteroscopy
Genital Tract Biopsy
vulvar biopsy
• under local anesthetic
• Keye’s biopsy or punch biopsy
• hemostasis achieved with local pressure, Monsel solution or
silver nitrate
vaginal and cervical biopsy
• punch biopsy or biopsy forceps
• generally no anesthetic used
• hemostasis with Monsel solution
endometrial biopsy
• in the office using an endometrial suction curette (Pipelle)
• hollow tube guided through the cervix used to
aspirate fragments of endometrium (well-tolerated)
• a more invasive procedure using cervical dilatation and curettage
may be done in the office
Colposcopy
diagnostic use
• provides a magnified view of the surface structures of the
vulva, vagina and cervix
• special green filters allow better visualization of vessels
• application of 1% acetic acid wash dehydrates cells and
reveals white areas of increased nuclear density (abnormal)
or areas with epithelial changes
• biopsy of visible lesions or those revealed with the acetic acid
wash allows early identification of dysplasia and neoplasia
therapeutic use
• cryotherapy
• tissue destruction by freezing
• for dysplastic changes, genital warts
• laser
• cervical conization
• encompasses the cervical transformation zone and
into the endocervical canal
• methods include cold knife, laser excision, or electrocautery
