Inguinofemoral sentinel lymph node biopsy by scar injection in vulvar cancer: an assessment of feasibility and long-term outcomes.

Background: Performing inguinofemoral sentinel lymph node biopsy for vulvar cancer following a previous vulvar excision, often referred to as 'scar injection', is debated.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy following scar injection and the long-term outcomes in patients undergoing this procedure.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of patients with vulvar cancer.

Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice Versus Traditional Simulation to Improve Resident Performance in Forceps Deliveries.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) in improving obstetrics and gynaecology residents' performance and skill retention in forceps-assisted vaginal deliveries. Thirty-three residents were randomly assigned to RCDP or traditional debriefing. Performance was evaluated using an objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) tool.

Strengths and limitations of diagnostic tools for endometriosis and relevance in diagnostic test accuracy research.

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease that can cause pain, infertility and reduced quality of life. Diagnosing endometriosis remains challenging, which yields diagnostic delays for patients. Research on diagnostic test accuracy in endometriosis can be difficult due to verification bias, as not all patients with endometriosis undergo definitive diagnostic testing.
