Infectious Complications in Laparoscopic Gynecologic Oncology Surgery within an ERAS-Compliant Setting.

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents a safe and feasible option for the surgical treatment of gynecologic malignancies, offering benefits, including reduced blood loss, lower complications, and faster recovery, without compromising oncological outcomes in selected patients. MIS is widely accepted in early-stage gynecologic malignancies, including endometrial cancer, cervical tumors measuring 2 cm or less, and early-stage ovarian cancer, considering the risk of surgical spillage. Despite its advantages, MIS does not rule out the possibility of adverse events such as postoperative infections.

Optimal Management for Stage IVB Endometrial Cancer: A Systematic Review.

(1) Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecological malignancy, often diagnosed at an early stage with a high overall survival rate. Surgical treatment is the primary approach, guided by pathological and molecular characteristics. Stage IVB EC, characterized by intra and/or extra-abdominal metastasis, presents a significant challenge with no clear consensus on optimal management.

Current and future methods for embryo selection: on a quest for reliable strategies to reduce time to pregnancy.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the usefulness of the principal embryological strategies to reduce time to pregnancy.

Evidence Acquisition: A systematic search of publications in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Scopus databases from inception to present including "IVF," "blastocyst," "embryo colture," "competent embryo," "time to pregnancy," "aneuploid," "euploid," "vitrification," "preimplantation genetic," "IVF strategies" and "embryo selection" alone or in combinations has been done.

Evidence Synthesis: We have selected 230 articles and 9 of them have been included in this mini-review.

Improved clinical utility of preimplantation genetic testing through the integration of ploidy and common pathogenic microdeletions analyses.

Study Question: Can chromosomal abnormalities beyond copy-number aneuploidies (i.e. ploidy level and microdeletions (MDs)) be detected using a preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) platform?

Summary Answer: The proposed integrated approach accurately assesses ploidy level and the most common pathogenic microdeletions causative of genomic disorders, expanding the clinical utility of PGT.

Diagnostic accuracy of sonohysterography and transvaginal sonography as compared with hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy: a prospective study.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy between transvaginal sonography (TVS) and sonohysterography (SHG) versus hysteroscopy (Hys) plus endometrial biopsy (EB) to evaluate uterine cavity.

Methods: One hundred and sixteen patients were enrolled. These presented with infertility and/or abnormal uterine bleeding and/or suspicious uterine cavity pathology.
