“…There are some complications related to the uterine fibroid in laparoscopic surgery. 1 2 3 4 5 Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare entity and most cases are associated with pregnancy and the estimated incidence ranges between 0.05 and 0.18% of pregnancies. 80–90% of cases occur several days after delivery.…”

Ovarian vein thrombosis in non-pregnant patient is a rare clinical entity. Among 170 patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in our hospital from December 2011 to December 2015, we have one case of ovarian vein thrombosis (0.0059%). A 42-year-oId woman had a fever of 39 °C on the fourth day after TLH. A blood test revealed elevations of liver enzymes and D-dimer (AST 1157 U/L, ALT 942 U/L and D-dimer >30 μg/L). Computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous contrast agent demonstrated right ovarian vein thrombosis which caused decline in blood flow to liver and acute liver dysfunction. Low-molecular weight heparin was initiated and liver enzymes reduced rapidly. On the seventeenth day after TLH, CT scan revealed a recanalization of the ovarian vein. We report the clinical outcomes of the case attempted with a small review of the literature.

The introduction of newer vessel sealing systems has revolutionized techniques of hemostasis during laparoscopic surgery. These devices allow for rapid sequential tissue and vessel sealing, coagulation, and transection. Despite of widespread use of newer advanced bipolar and ultrasonic devices, monopolar and conventional bipolar electro-surgery still carry weightage due to wider range of tissue effect, dissection capabilities, cost effectiveness, and ease of availability. Here in we discussed different types of commonly available energy sources in terms of mechanism, efficacy and safety as thorough knowledge is utmost important for surgeon to choose appropriate instrument for surgical procedure.

“…12 Microscopy can reveal early signs of coagulative injury not visible to the naked eye but requires tissue resection. [13][14][15] Electrocoagulation confers changes in tissue optical properties, which can be detected using non-destructive high-resolution imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). [16][17][18] OCT is analogous to ultrasound but uses near-infrared light to provide histologylike images up to 3 mm in depth.…”
