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.

The Fragility of Statistically Significant Results in Gynaecologic Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To use the fragility index (FI) to evaluate the robustness of gynaecologic surgery trials that report statistically significant results. The FI defines the minimum number of patients who must have an alternative outcome to alter statistical significance.

Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.

Case Report: Extrapelvic Endometriosis in the Medial Thigh.

Extrapelvic endometriosis, although rare, can present in the musculoskeletal system of reproductive-age women and cause significant pain and morbidity. The pathophysiology of this disease is not well understood. In this study, we described the case of a 39-year-old women with an inner-thigh mass causing catamenial pain.

Aging and Sexual Health: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Patients in a Canadian Urban Academic Family Health Team.

Primary care physicians are in a position to recognize sexuality as a core component of health. Data examining the sexual behaviours of Canadians over the age of 50 and the role of primary care in this domain is lacking. A cross-sectional survey was administered to patients over the age of 50, which assessed the importance of sexual activity, problems, and preferences in discussing sexual health with their primary care providers.
