Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore ovarian cancer patients' preferences regarding follow-up care and, in particular, the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as an approach to personalise follow-up care.
Methods: Between May and June 2021, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ovarian cancer patients, who had finished their primary treatment at least 6 months prior and were receiving follow-up care at our centre. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using an inductive thematic approach.
Surgical approach to hysterectomy for benign gynaecological disease.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
August 2023
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses five main methods for performing hysterectomies in women with non-cancerous gynecological issues: abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and vaginal natural orifice hysterectomy, with further distinctions in laparoscopic techniques.
- The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these surgical approaches, using data from several major medical databases and expert consultations to gather comprehensive research.
- The results from 63 studies involving 6811 women indicate that vaginal hysterectomy allows for quicker recovery compared to abdominal hysterectomy, but overall evidence quality was low to moderate due to issues with reporting and precision.
