Shear wave in human cervix
Creator: Lindsey Drehfal
Duration: 1:01
To create a shear wave, a high frequency ultrasound pulse ( “push pulse”) gently pushes the tissue a tiny amount (microns). The speed of the shear wave can be tracked for a few microseconds as it propagates outward over a small area (mm) from proximal to distal along the cervix. The video shows the prototype linear transducer that was used to generate the shear wave taped to the operator's finger, then a drawing of the transducer contacting the cervix. A linear transducer was used, as wave behavior can be complex and unpredictable with curvilinear transducers (such as a typical transvaginal transducer). The red box demonstrates the area where the shear wave was tracked in the cervix. Time (microseconds) is shown across the top. The Y axis shows depth (mm) into the cervix. The colors represent tissue displacement (microns) as shown in the bar on the right. See the related article by Feltovich et al (July 2017 issue). Video created by Lindsey Drehfal.

Anterior colpotomy is one of the most difficult procedural steps to master during vaginal hysterectomy, and may be a major obstacle to more widespread use of the vaginal approach. Precise knowledge of surgical anatomy is essential for safe and proficient performance of this important step. The objectives of this video are to outline the anatomy of the vesicocervical space, demonstrate a dissection technique of anterior colpotomy, and present our results on the average distance from the cervico-vaginal junction to the anterior peritoneal reflection for vaginal hysterectomy.

This test is based on an immunoassay for alpha-fetoprotein embedded in a sanitary pad. The leaking fluid is absorbed into the sampling region and spreads by capillary action along the immunoassay test strip. If both control and test bars appear, the assay is interpreted as positive for amniotic fluid leakage. If only the control bar is visible, the assay is interpreted as negative for amniotic fluid leakage, and therefore, the leaking fluid might be urine or semen.

The technique for minilaparoscopic single site hysterectomy is here shown. A uterine manipulator is placed transvaginally and two 3-mm trocars are inserted at the umbilical level. Standard steps for total laparoscopic hysterectomy are followed. The entire operation is accomplished using only reusable instruments and all the uterine vascular pedicles are coagulated using 3-mm bipolar coagulation. Colpotomy is performed using monopolar cautery and the specimen is extracted through the vagina. The cuff is sutured transvaginally. The operation is terminated leaving only a very small umbilical incision. See the related article by Uccella et al (July 2015 issue).
