Resumo
Objective: Compare the use of a newly designed and reusable metal trocar for initial uterine entry with the disposable Tulipan-Bruner trocar in creation of a hysterotomyforfetal surgery. Methods:Six consecutive patients undergoing hysterotomy for intrauterine repair of myelomeningocele were randomized to uterine entry either with the Tulipan-Bruner trocar or with the Almodin-Moron trocar. Blood loss was estimated by the primary surgeon. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the uterine entry times between the trocars. Blood loss was estimated to be approximately the same. the Almodin-Moron trocar was judged to provide easy handling with good safety. Conclusions: the AlmodinMoron trocar provides a uterine entry during creation of a hysterotomythat is as quick and causes as little trauma as the Tulipan-Bruner trocar. Copyright (c) 2006 S.
