An Extreme Case Of Embedded Neglected Pessary Presenting With Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Year 2017, Volume: 14 Issue: 3, 149 - 151, 01.07.2017

Abstract

Pessaries have been the major non-surgical treatment option for pelvic organ prolapse POP . However, when the devices are not used appropriately, serious complications and deaths may be occurred. A 78 years old, multiparous woman was hospitalized with diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease PID and embedded neglected pessary. In history, it’s learned that a ring pessary was placed 22 years ago due to POP. After the treatment of PID, the adhesions, between the posterior vaginal wall and cervix, was separated by blind and sharp dissection and pessary was removed without any urinary and bowel complications.In a patient who has neglected pessary with symptoms of fever, pelvic-abdominal pain and other symptoms about urinary and intestinal systems need prompt evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, physicians have to be aware of a neglected pessary and not to omit pelvic examination when an elderly woman, especially if she has dementia.

Abstract

Peser pelvik organ prolapsusunun konservatif tedavi seçenekleri içinde önde gelen yöntemlerden biridir. Ancak, peserler uygun olarak kullanılmadıklarındahasta kaybına kadar gidebilecek ciddi komplikasyonlara yol açabilmektedirler. 78 yaşında multipar hasta pelvik inflamatuar hastalık ve gömülü peser tanılarıile hastaneye yatırıldı. Medikal hikayesinde, hastaya 22 yıl önce pelvik organ prolapsusu tanısı ile halka peser takıldığı öğrenildi. Pelvik inflamatuar hastalığontedavisini takiben arka vajinal duvar ve serviks arasındaki adezyonlar künt ve keskin diseksiyonlarla ayrıştırılarak, peser üriner veya gastrointestinal herhangibir komplikasyon olmaksızın çıkarıldı. Takipsiz peser hastalarında eşlik eden ateş varsa, pelvik-abdominal ağrı ve üriner-gastrointestinal tüm semptomlar hızlıcadeğerlendirip tanı ve tedavisi sağlanmalıdır. Yanı sıra, değerlendirmelerde özellikle yaşlı demansif hastalarda ihmal edilmiş peser ihtimali akılda tutulmalı ve pelvikmuayene atlanmamalıdır.
