Introduction: The prevalence of pregnancy-associated breast cancer is increasing. HER2-positive breast cancers typically have a poor prognosis. The objective of our study was to compare the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy (HER2-positive BCP) to young women diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer outside of pregnancy (HER2 non-BCP).

Conventional laparoscopy is currently considered the standard approach for surgical treatment. Recently, assisted-robotic laparoscopy emerged as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy but with low evidence.

The objective of this study was to describe their epidemiological, oncological and obstetrical outcomes from the French CALG (Cancer Associé à La Grossesse) network. Retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with a cancer associated with pregnancy between January 2015 and December 2018 after advice from the CALG network.

Objective(s): With aging population, a rise in anterior wall prolapse surgery is expected. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of genital prolapse repair by the vaginal route using a mixed polypropylene and porcine skin mesh (Avaulta Plus®).
Study Design: Retrospective study conducted at Tenon University Hospital, Paris, France.
Objective: To evaluate the risk of rectovaginal fistula after en bloc hysterectomy and colorectal resection (H-CR) for endometriosis using prevesical peritoneum interposition.
Study Design: A retrospective study conducted at Tenon University Hospital, expert center in endometriosis, from June 2016 to June 2018. Patients undergoing H-CR with prevesical peritoneum interposition without protective defunctioning stoma were included.
In 2018, around 382,100 new cases of endometrial cancer (EC) were reported worldwide, accounting for about 4.4% of all new cases of cancer in women. In France, in 2018, the EC is the first gynecological cancer in incidence and the fourth cancer in women.

Affected women often present life-threatening menorrhagia that leads to the identification of uterine tumors, and experience miscarriages and infertility. Overall though, fewer data concerning gynecological pathologies related to HPT-JT syndrome are available.

Study Objective: To describe complications following surgery for deep endometriosis (DE) without bowel involvement and to develop a nomogram for predicting postoperative complications.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Tertiary referral university hospital and expert center in endometriosis.
Laparoscopic discoid colorectal resection is a surgical option for bowel endometriosis, 1 of the most severe forms of endometriosis. However, no study has clearly analyzed the feasibility or the complication and recurrence rates of the procedure in a homogeneous population with specific criteria for discoid resection. The aims of this study were to evaluate the rate of conversion to segmental resection, the need for double discoid resection, and the complication and recurrence rates.

The LEER technique was developed to resect en bloc multiple visceral compartments involving the lateral pelvic wall with negative margins for local control of advanced and recurrent malignancies. Described by Höckel, this procedure is usually performed by a midline laparotomy.

Ovarian metastasis from cervical cancer is a rare phenomenon, the mechanism of dissemination remains unclear. The diagnosis of metastasis may be difficult to establish when the ovarian neoplasm presents features consistent with primary tumor.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. A total of 118 women who wished to conceive and who underwent surgery for DIE without bowel involvement were analyzed between January 2006 and December 2014.
Background: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) represent less than 0.5% of ovarian tumors. Because of the rarity of this tumor and its peak in frequency at around 25 years of age, this study aimed to describe SLCT management strategies.

The factors determining shorter sick leave duration of patients with BC have not been clearly identified. The aim of this study was to describe work during BC treatment and to identify factors associated with sick leave duration.

Knowledge of its origin and variations is essential during extensive gynaecological surgery and interventional radiological procedures. We aimed to investigate its origin and explore its anatomical variations by three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed computed tomography (CT) angiography.

We report a case of blue lymphangitis of the breast in a patient 11 years after treatment for ipsilateral breast cancer that was in full remission. Breast examination and imaging showed no other abnormalities.
