Brain Metastases in Gynaecologic Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study Evaluating Treatment Outcomes, Prognostic Factors, and Overall Survival.

(1) Background: The objectives of this study were to assess survival of patients with a diagnosis of brain metastases secondary to gynaecologic malignancy and the impact of clinicopathological factors on prognosis in this population. (2) Methods: A retrospective cohort of patients with gynaecologic cancers diagnosed with brain metastases treated with radiation at a tertiary care centre from 1 January 2004 until 30 September 2023 was studied. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to evaluate survival, and cox regression was used to identify significant predictive factors of survival.

The Value of Using Patient-Specific 3D-Printed Anatomical Models in Surgical Planning for Patients With Complex Multifibroid Uteri.

Objectives: To compare surgeon responses regarding their surgical plan before and after receiving a patient-specific three-dimensional (3D)-printed model of a patient's multifibroid uterus created from their magnetic resonance imaging.

Methods: 3D-printed models were derived from standard-of-care pelvic magnetic resonance images of patients scheduled for surgical intervention for multifibroid uterus. Relevant anatomical structures were printed using a combination of transparent and opaque resin types.

Individualized medicine using 3D printing technology in gynecology: a scoping review.

Objective: Developments in 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology has made it possible to produce high quality, affordable 3D printed models for use in medicine. As a result, there is a growing assessment of this approach being published in the medical literature. The objective of this study was to outline the clinical applications of individualized 3D printing in gynecology through a scoping review.

Endometriosis Imaging: Enter the Metaverse of Possibilities.

Although laparoscopy has classically been defined as the gold standard for diagnosis of endometriosis, there is now a strong recommendation for the use of advanced imaging in diagnosing the disease. In addition to playing a crucial role in the diagnosis of endometriosis, advanced imaging is also essential for assisting gynaecologic surgeons in planning the surgical management of complex cases of deep endometriosis. This case demonstrates a metaverse of high-level imaging modalities, including advanced ultrasound and magnetic resonance, which were further enhanced with medical virtual reality and used for the assessment of a patient seen in an outpatient tertiary care gynaecology clinic.

A review and guide to creating patient specific 3D printed anatomical models from MRI for benign gynecologic surgery.

Background: Patient specific three-dimensional (3D) models can be derived from two-dimensional medical images, such as magnetic resonance (MR) images. 3D models have been shown to improve anatomical comprehension by providing more accurate assessments of anatomical volumes and better perspectives of structural orientations relative to adjacent structures. The clinical benefit of using patient specific 3D printed models have been highlighted in the fields of orthopaedics, cardiothoracics, and neurosurgery for the purpose of pre-surgical planning.

Urogynaecology providers' attitudes towards postnatal pelvic floor dysfunction.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Postnatal pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) has a high prevalence and morbidity amongst parturient women. Women should be counselled regarding postnatal PFD. Our aim was to determine urogynaecology providers' knowledge of risk and protective factors for postnatal PFD, and to assess their practice patterns in postnatal PFD counselling.
