Objectives: DEMOSTRAR LA EFICACIA DE RADIOFRECUENCIA BIPOLAR Y LASER DE CO2 FRACCIONADO, COMO MECANISMO DE BIO ESTIMULACION COMBINADA PARA EL TRATAMIENTO DE LA LAXITUD VAGINAL

Introduction: LA LAXITUD VAGINAL ES UNA CONDICION POBREMENTE DEFINIDA Y DIFICIL DE DEMOSTRAR DESDE EL PUNTO DE VISTA OBJETIVO. EXISTEN MULTIPLES ALTERNATIVAS PARA EL MANEJO DE LA MISMA, DESDE LA TRADICIONAL REHABILITACION DEL PISO PELVICO HASTA EL USO DE FUENTES BASADAS EN ENERGIA.

Materials / method: ESTUDIO PILOTO QUE PRETENDE DEMOSTRAR LA EFICACIA DE LA COMBINACION RADIOFRECUENCIA BIPOLAR Y LASER DE CO2 FRACCIONADO, COMO MECANISMO DE BIO ESTIMULACION COMBINADA PARA EL TRATAMIENTO DE LA LAXITUD VAGINAL EN UN GRUPO DE PACIENTES VOLUNTARIAS DE LA UNIDAD DE UROGINECOLOGIA DEL HOISPITAL UNIVERSITARIO SAN JORGE PEREIRA COLOMBIA

Results: LOS RESULTADOS HASTA EL MOMENTO ,DEMUESTRAN UNA MEJORIA SUBJETIVA Y OBJETIVA DE LA LAXITYUD VAGINNAL EN EL GRUPO DE PACIENTES SOMETIDAS AL PROTOCOLO

Conclusion: LA BIO ESTIMULACION COMBINADA MEDIANTE RADIOFRECUENCIA BIPOLAR Y LASER DE CO2 FRACCIONADO, COMO MECANISMO PARA EL TRATAMIENTO DE LA LAXITUD VAGINAL,PARECE SER UNA PROMETEDORA ESTRATEGIA PARA LA MEJORIA DE ESTA CONDICION

Objectives: To find a cytological parameter that allows us to proactively indicate a laser-induced treatment, and to correlate it with post-treatment histological changes in women with severe asymptomatic vaginal atrophy, to avoid future unpleasant symptomatic episodes for the patient.

Introduction: The need for effective treatment of vaginal atrophy requires a consideration of the effectiveness of the laser-induced treatment, which is based on mild and controlled heating of the vaginal tissue, which stimulates angiogenesis, fibroblast activity and new collagen formation without thermal or ablative damage. The final result is increased epithelial thickness as well as vascularization of the lamina propria, along with a reduction of symptoms such as dryness, itching, irritation and dyspareunia.

Materials / method: 40 postmenopausal patients with severe, asymptomatic vaginal atrophy enrolled. Previous cytological evaluation confirming maturation index of the epithelium less than 25 done, compatible with atrophy, in all women studied. Biopsies were performed on a smaller group, followed by the protocol of a single session of Renovalase to determine if rate of maturation value could improve, remove vulnerability of suffering symptoms and correlate changes with histological findings. 33 of the 40 patients followed-up for a year, with cytological evaluation, and biopsies in some, at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Results: A significant improvement in the epithelial maturation value index was observed in one hundred percent of the treated patients, going from less than 25 to more than 50, and in many of them even more than 65, which means proper trophism. These changes were also correlated with the histological improvement expressed in increment of the epithelial thickness, the glycogenic load and the amount of vascularization in the lamina propria. These outcomes were maintained during the twelve months of follow-up.

Conclusion: Our results show that carrying out a single session of this laser-induced treatment to asymptomatic postmenopausal patients reduces the risk of suffering the possibility of future symptoms of the so-called Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause.
