Compartment syndrome after gynecologic laparoscopy: systematic review of the literature and establishment of normal values for postoperative serum creatine kinase and myoglobin levels.
Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2017 August
PURPOSE: To evaluate published evidence in the literature on compartment syndrome (CS) in association with gynecologic surgery and to establish postoperative normal values for serum creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin.
METHODS: The present study consists of a case report of a patient with CS, a systematic review including 37 studies and 86 patients with CS, and a retrospective cohort study of 300 patients undergoing various types of laparoscopy for benign or malignant diseases in order to establish postoperative normal values.
RESULTS: We report on a patient with early-stage ovarian cancer, who developed CS after laparoscopic surgery with massively elevated serum CK and myoglobin levels, i.e., 1109 U/L and 18151 µg/L, respectively. In our systematic review, median serum CK and myoglobin levels among women with CS were 19,223 (177-27,412) U/L and 1248 (285-1360) µg/L, respectively. In our cohort study, the median postoperative serum CK and myoglobin levels were 68 (14-1576) U/L and 45 (14-1040) µg/L, respectively. The 95th and 99th percentile of serum CK and myoglobin levels were 158 and 391.5 U/L, and 152.3 and 298.9 µg/L, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Markedly elevated postoperative serum levels of CK and myoglobin levels might raise the suspicion for CS and could therefore aid in the rapid diagnosis of CS.
