Highlights from the 25th European Congress on Gynaecological Oncology in Barcelona: the ENYGO-IJGC Fellow Interviews.

In March 2024, 12 European Network of Young Gynae Oncologists- (ENYGO-IJGC) Editorial Fellows conducted 10 interviews with senior opinion leaders on original and controversial topics in the field of gynecologic oncology presented during the 25th European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) Congress in Barcelona, Spain. This article provides a summary and overview of the content of these discussions summarizing key points presented at the meeting. These selected interviews were chosen by consensus by the ENYGO-IJGC Editorial Fellows based on novelty and relevance to the field of gynecologic oncology.

SUrgical Access and Pattern of Recurrence of Endometrial Cancer: The SUPeR Study, a Multicenter Retrospective Observational Study.

Study Objective: To evaluate recurrence rate and pattern in apparently early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and compare it to the "historical" populations treated by laparotomy. Secondary outcomes were to establish if, among MIS recurrent patients, intermediate-high/high-risk patients presented the same recurrence pattern compared to those at low/intermediate-risk and to evaluate time to first recurrence (TTR) of the study population.

Design: Multicenter retrospective observational study.

Successful laparoscopic surgical removal of a caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) using temporary uterine artery ligation.

Study Objective: To demonstrate a laparoscopic technique to remove a scar pregnancy.

Design: Stepwise demonstration of the surgical technique.

Setting: Santa Croce and Carle Hospital, Cuneo.

Surgical technique for laparoscopic removal of bulky para-aortic nodes without repositioning surgical field during laparoscopic debulking for advanced ovarian cancer.

Background: In the last years, laparoscopy has been progressively introduced in the management of advanced- stage ovarian cancer (AOC) not only to evaluate tumour resectability, but also to perform primary or interval minimally invasive debulking surgery in selected patients. During laparoscopic debulking for AOC, the need to change the surgical field to treat disease in the upper abdomen can be a time-consuming procedure.

Objective: To demonstrate feasibility, safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic approach to remove bulky para- aortic nodes in AOC with a 30-degree 3D-endoscope without repositioning the laparoscopic surgical field.
