Article Synopsis
- - Autophagy is a vital cellular process that helps keep cells healthy by breaking down damaged proteins and organelles, especially during stress, and it's essential in maintaining the endometrium and supporting pregnancy.
- - This process is regulated by various signaling pathways and plays a complex role in preventing tumors by managing cellular homeostasis, but can also promote cancer progression in endometrial carcinoma by supporting nutrient supply for cancer cells.
- - Investigating autophagy's mechanisms and pathways reveals its potential as a therapeutic target in treating endometrial carcinoma, offering hope for effective treatments and overcoming resistance to existing therapies.
Background: Literature is lacking strong evidence about comparisons of efficacy and quality of life-related outcomes between laparoscopic total and/or supracervical hysterectomy (LTH/LSCH) with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) and minimally invasive sacrohysteropexy (LSH).
Objective: To summarize and compare available data on this topic providing a useful clinical tool in the treatment decision process.
Search Strategy: We performed a systematic research of PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, and Gooogle Scholar.
This narrative review describes the state of the art in the management of anastomotic leakage in ovarian cancer. Multiple surgical procedures, including bowel resection, are often required to achieve "optimal" cytoreduction in locally advanced ovarian cancer. Intestinal anastomosis is currently the most common way to restore bowel continuity.

- The study investigates the outcomes of a new surgical technique called pelvic organ prolapse suspension (POPS) for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and rectal prolapse, focusing on patients who experience recurrence of symptoms after the procedure.
- The research involved 25 women, primarily menopausal, who mostly had recurrent posterior vaginal wall prolapse and associated obstructed defecation syndrome, with all undergoing laparoscopic ventral rectopexy surgery.
- Findings indicated no anatomical recurrences after surgery and a significant improvement in patient symptoms, suggesting that a multidisciplinary approach and the use of minimally invasive techniques can be effective for managing recurrent POP.
Cervical cancer continues to have a significant incidence, despite global efforts in HPV vaccination campaigns. Managing this condition involves a diverse team of healthcare professionals. Research in this field is undergoing a period of great revolution in multiple areas, and international guidelines will soon have to adapt to new scientific evidence.
