Objective To explore strategies to reduce the same-day cancellation rate of gynecological day surgery. Methods The same-day cancellation status of gynecological surgery in the Department of Day Surgery, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University from January to December 2021 (before improvement) was investigated. The causes of cancellation were analyzed from three aspects: patient-related factors, medical factors, and examination factors. Subsequently, management countermeasures were formulated for the controllable factors and continuous quality improvement was implemented. After improvement, the same-day cancellation rate of gynecological day surgery from September 2022 to January 2023 was collected and compared with that before improvement. Results Continuous quality improvement was implemented targeting three factors in day surgery, namely the short interval between patient’s visit time and pre-scheduled time, the irrational sequence of preoperative examinations for patients, and the non-standardized treatment of patients with abnormal vaginal discharge by physicians. The same-day cancellation rates of gynecological day surgery before and after the continuous quality improvement were 3.70% (156/4211) and 2.13% (30/1411), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=8.231, P=0.004). ConclusionOptimizing the preoperative examination and admission process, effective preoperative education and physician-patient communication, establishing unified standards for the approval of vaginal discharge tests and standardized treatment protocols, and clarifying the responsibilities of the preoperative comprehensive assessment outpatient clinic along with the supervision system are effective measures to reduce the same-day cancellation rate of gynecological day surgery.
Objective To explore a new teaching mode relying on the new media platform, aiming to stimulate residency standardized trainees’ interest in learning theories related to gynecology outpatient surgery, improve practical operation skills, and achieve better teaching effects. Methods The residency standardized trainees who rotate in the gynecology outpatient of West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University between July 2021 and June 2022 were selected. According to the random number table method, the trainees were divided into the control group (using the traditional teaching mode) and the intervention group (using the teaching mode of combining the flipped classroom and simulated teaching relying on the new media platform). The assessment results, teacher evaluation, trainees self-evaluation and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results A total of 118 trainees were enrolled, 59 in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, years of training and education level between the two groups (P>0.05). The total scores of evaluation scores (87.59±4.54 vs. 85.17±3.70), teachers’ evaluation (87.05±3.79 vs. 85.14±3.75), and trainees’ self-evaluation (87.81±4.41 vs. 85.54±3.96) of trainees in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The clinical thinking ability [teachers’ evaluation (24.49±1.62 vs. 23.22±2.05), trainees’ self-evaluation (25.25±1.99 vs. 23.97±2.27) and operation skills [teachers’ evaluation (37.05±1.58 vs. 36.10±1.99), trainees’ self-evaluation (36.75±2.73 vs. 35.66±2.56)] of trainees in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The satisfaction rate of the trainees in the intervention group was 98.3%, and that of the trainees in the control group was 93.2%. The teaching satisfaction of the intervention group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The teaching mode of combining flipped classroom and simulated teaching relying on the new media platform has effectively stimulated residency standardized trainees’ learning interest in gynecological outpatient surgery, improved trainees’ clinical practice ability, improved teaching satisfaction, achieved good teaching results, and can be promoted as a new teaching mode.
Objective To investigate the impact of optimized preoperative fasting scheme for gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia. Methods We retrospectively selected 639 patients undergoing gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia between June 2021 and August 2021 in the day surgery department of West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University as the control group, and 920 patients undergoing gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia in the same hospital between November 2021 and February 2022 as the observational group. The patients in the control group were treated with routine preoperative fasting scheme, and the ones in the observational group were treated with optimized preoperative fasting scheme. The differences in preoperative duration of water deprivation, intraoperative and postoperative incidences of aspiration, and postoperative first anal exhaust time between the two groups were compared. Results The preoperative duration of water deprivation in the control group was longer than that in the observational group [(12.49±2.63) vs. (6.69±2.76) h, P<0.05]. The incidences of intraoperative and postoperative aspiration were both 0. The postoperative first anal exhaust time in the control group was later than that in the observational group [(11.51±6.58) vs. (8.19±4.13) h, P<0.05]. Conclusions For patients undergoing gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia, the implementation of the optimized preoperative fasting scheme can effectively shorten the preoperative duration of water deprivation, without increasing the risk of anesthesia. It can accelerate the recovery of intestinal function for gynecological laparoscopic day surgery with general anesthesia, promote the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery, and improve the efficiency of day surgery.

Objective To probe the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens causing surgical site infection in patients after gynecologic operation, and provide reference for prevention and treatment. Methods Seventy patients with incision infection after gynecologic operation in West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2010 to May 2015 were selected. Species of the pathogens from the submitted specimens and the results of the drug susceptibility testing were analyzed. Results Seventy-two strains of pathogens were isolated, including 36 strains (50.0%) of Gram-negative (G–) bacteria and 36 strains (50.0%) of Gram-positive (G+) bacteria. The main G– bacteria were Escherichia coli (36.1%) and Enterobacter cloacae (5.6%); the main G+ bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (18.1%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (12.5%), and Enterococcus faecalis (8.3%). Escherichia coli showed low sensitivities to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and gentamicin, with resistance rates of 76.9%, 61.5%, and 61.5%, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus showed low sensitivities to penicillin G, clindamycin, and erythromycin, with resistance rates of 92.3%, 69.2%, and 61.5%, respectively. Staphylococcus epidermidis showed low sensitivities to erythromycin, penicillin G, and ciprofloxacin, with resistance rates of 88.9%, 77.8%, and 77.8%, respectively. No carbapenem-resistant G– bacteria or vancomycin-resistant G+ bacteria were detected. Conclusion Postoperative surgical site infection is the most common nosocomial infection. The main bacteria related to postoperative incision infection in the gynecology department of the hospital are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Enterococcus faecalis, which become resistant to common antibiotics currently. Therefore more attention should be paid to bacterial isolation and drug susceptibility test results for rational use of antimicrobial drugs and effectiveness of the treatment to nosocomial infection.

Objective To assess the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for women with benign gynecological diseases. Methods Such databases as CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library, Issue 5, 2012), MEDLINE, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM were searched from the date of their establishment to May 2012, meanwhile the relevant gray literature was also retrieved to identify the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about LH versus abdominal hysterectomy (AH) for benign gynecological diseases. The literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria by two reviewers independently, and the methodology quality was evaluated after extracting the data, then RevMan 5.1 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 22 RCTs involving 3 304 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with AH, LH was shorter in the time of both hospital stay (MD=–2.31, 95%CI –3.03 to –1.60, Plt;0.000 01) and postoperative recovery (MD=−13.86, 95%CI −17.70 to −10.03, Plt;0.000 01), and lower in the incidences of both postoperative fever and other nonspecific infections (OR=0.72, 95%CI 0.54 to 0.95, P=0.02), but it was higher in the incidence rate of intraoperative urinary systematic injuries (OR=2.41, 95%CI 1.21 to 4.82, P=0.012), and longer in the operation time (MD=20.27, 95%CI 3.95 to 36.59, P=0.03). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of complications such as intraoperative intestinal injuries, vessel injuries, postoperative fistulizaion, postoperative urethral dysfunction, postoperative vaginal infection, etc. (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion This systematic review shows when treating benign gynecological diseases, LH is superior to AH in shortening the time of hospital stay and postoperative recovery, and in decreasing the incidence of operative fever and other nonspecific infections, but it results in a higher incidence of intraoperative urinary systematic injuries and longer operative time. Because there is no result regarding to the postoperative long-term life quality, so it expects to be further proved by more high quality RCTs.
Objective To investigate patients in gynecological endocrinology clinic with the following three pieces of information: how did they provide their symptom information, how did they understand diagnostic and therapeutic information, and what was their attitude towards the visit, and to get to know about the situation and problems in doctor-patient communication, so as to aim directly at improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. Methods A total of 403 patients, who visited Prof. HAN Zi-yan’s clinic in the hospital from April to August 2010, were evaluated using self-edited Assessment on Doctor-patient Communication in Gynecological Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic. Results a) As to the situation of patients providing symptom information as well as understanding diagnostic and therapeutic information, when doctor asked, only 29% (118/403) of patients could narrate their treatment history clearly, and 38% (152/403) could tell their examination history exactly. After doctors’ explanation, only 21% (86/403) understood their examination results correctly, and 27% (108/403) understood management and therapeutic advice. The result of correlation analysis showed the accuracy of patients in providing disease information and accepting diagnostic and therapeutic information was higher in patients aged from 21 to 40 rather than those younger than 20, in patients well- educated rather than those with little education at the primary school, and in patients who were also engaged in medical work, All differences were significant (all Plt;0.05); and b) As to patients’ attitude towards visit, 55% (222/403) of patients hoped to get more attention from doctor, and 37.5% (151/403) overly expected the visit. Conclusion In the professor’s gynecological endocrinology outpatient clinic, many patients can’t clearly provide their treatment and examination history, neither understand exam situation and therapeutic advice at that visit, which are influenced by their age, education and occupation. In addition, psychological needs of patients should be concerned, too
