Background: Complete bicorporeal uterus, double cervix and obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum (classified as U3bC2V2 according to ESHRE/ESGE classification) is a rare congenital anomaly of the genital tract. This condition is typically associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis and is known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome or OHVIRA (Obstructed HemiVagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly) syndrome. The primary symptoms include dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain, which usually manifest after menarche due to haematocolpos in the obstructed hemivagina.

Background: Uterine scar defect (also called uterine niche or isthmocele) associated to retained products of conception (RPOC) is an uncommon occurrence following caesarean section. Typically, the primary indicator is abnormal vaginal bleeding, and an accurate diagnosis can be established through ultrasound evaluation. Several surgical and endoscopic treatments have been described.

Background: Interpreting the clinical consequences of genetic variants is the central problem in modern clinical genomics, for both hereditary diseases and oncology. However, clinical validation lags behind the pace of discovery, leading to distressing uncertainty for patients, physicians and researchers. This "interpretation gap" changes over time as evidence accumulates, and variants initially deemed of uncertain (VUS) significance may be subsequently reclassified in pathogenic/benign.

Article Synopsis
  • Cervical cancer poses a major health risk for younger women, and tools like cold knife (CK) and carbon dioxide (CO) laser conization are used to treat pre-invasive lesions with the intent to cure incidental cervical cancer cases.
  • A study involving 1,270 women showed that CO laser conization had a significantly lower rate of positive margins compared to CK conization (4.3% vs. 13.3%).
  • Both techniques demonstrated similar oncological safety in cases of incidental cervical cancer diagnosis, with no recurrences noted after an average follow-up period of 53 months, and CO laser conization generally proved more effective at achieving clean margins.
