A complex solution to aspiration treatment of patients with non-neoplastic masses in the pelvic organs
The article presents some aspects of aspiration treatment of patients with space-occupying lesions in the small pelvis of nonneoplastic genesis. Possibilities of diagnosing pelvic masses using transvaginal ultrasound and power Doppler sonography are discussed. A characteristic of a number of tumour-specific markers is given (CA 125, HE4, CEA). Conditions and indications for «ultrasound mini-surgery» are described. The method of «ultrasound miniscopy» is singled out with a detailed description of the endoscopic picture of some masses. As has been pointed out, the use of «ultrasond miniscopy» allows to unmistakably identify peritoneal cysts and thus to avoid unjustifiable operative intervention. The use of «ultrasound mini-surgery» maximally minimizes surgical approach without losing the effectiveness of treatment.
