Investigators from Western Hospital Publish New Data on Minimally Invasive Gynecology

2012 NOV 1 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Women's Health Weekly -- New research on Minimally Invasive Gynecology is the subject of a report. According to news reporting originating in Swindon, United Kingdom, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Anterior sacral meningocele is a rare cause of a pelvic mass. Herein the authors describe the case of a young patient presenting with chronic pelvic pain undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy."

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Western Hospital, "She was found to have a retrorectal mass confirmed as an anterior sacral meningocele on subsequent MRI. The authors explore the case, describe a method of intraoperative management to minimize the risk of severe complications and include a discussion of the differential diagnosis."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Central to this is an emphasis on advocating a cautious approach when confronted with an incidental unknown pelvic mass, as deleterious consequences may occur from biopsy of such a lesion."
