Postoperative Bleeding Two Weeks After Longitudinal Vaginal Septum Resection with the LigaSure Device: A Case Report - 06/11/23
ABSTRACT |
Background |
A longitudinal vaginal septum (LVS) is a rare congenital anomaly often identified during adolescence. Surgical removal is a mainstay in treatment of symptomatic cases; however, there is variation in the techniques used. Little is known about the risk for postoperative complications associated with novel methods.
Cases |
We present the cases of 2 adolescent females, ages 15 and 22, diagnosed with an LVS who elected to undergo surgical removal. A LigaSure device was used for resection, and both individuals experienced significant postoperative bleeding almost 2 weeks following resection.
Summary and Conclusions |
This report outlines two occurrences of postoperative bleeding after LVS resection, which may suggest inadequate surgical site hemostasis with use of the LigaSure apparatus. Further research on outcomes related to this technique is needed.
