Impact of obesity in the identification of the sentinel lymph node in endometrial cancer: a retrospective, monocentric study and literature review.

Purpose: To evaluate the sentinel lymph node (SLN) protocol for staging endometrial carcinomas, assessing its impact on surgical management, and determining indications for adjuvant therapies. The study also examines factors that may influence SNL mapping, particularly focusing on the failure of the technique due to obesity.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of patients with a histological diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma, who underwent surgical staging with SLN biopsy.

Techniques and endocrine-reproductive outcomes of ovarian transposition prior to pelvic radiotherapy in both gynecologic and non-gynecologic cancers: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Premature ovarian failure may be a consequence of radiotherapy administered for the treatment of various female oncologic diseases. Before radiotherapy, fertility may be preserved through ovarian transposition (OT), which consists of moving the ovaries away from the radiation field.

Objective: To ascertain all types of surgical techniques employed for OT, outline the endocrine and reproductive outcomes of each one, and discover if one works better than the others.

Interleukin-6 as A Useful Predictor of Endometriosis-Associated Infertility: A Systematic Review.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Several authors have reported on the association between changes in inflammatory marker levels and the maintenance or progression of endometriosis and associated infertility. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is the most studied cytokine in endometriosis and has important functions in reproductive physiology.

Impact of Hysterotomy Closure Technique on Subsequent Cesarean Scar Defects Formation: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: The uterine caesarean scar defect, also known as uterine niche or isthmocele, is an irregularity in the anterior uterine wall at the site of a previous cesarean section scar. It is associated with obstetrical complications such as caesarean scar, ectopic pregnancy, uterine rupture, and the placenta accreta spectrum. Women with cesarean scar defects are frequently asymptomatic but may also experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility.

Large Gartner cyst of the posterior vaginal fornix.

International classifications of congenital anomalies do not extensively describe vaginal cysts. For this reason, clinicians who deal with such conditions can only rely on their personal or other colleague's experience, and only a few case reports are present in the literature. This paper illustrates the clinical scenario due to a particular Gartner cyst, the diagnostic workup followed for its diagnosis and its surgical management.

Understanding the limits of parametrial resection in radical hysterectomy: a randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: The aim was to evaluate whether adding specific educational medical illustrations may help gynecologists to better understand the limits of parametrial resection in radical hysterectomy from type A to type C2. Study Design: randomized controlled trial.

Material And Methods: Institute of Obstetric and Gynecologic Pathology, University of Catania, Italy.

Central placenta praevia accreta with focal bladder percretism. Conservative management.

Placenta praevia is a condition when placenta is inserted in an abnormal position near or over the internal cervical orifice (ICO). Abnormal placental attachment (placenta accreta, increta, percreta) is a wide spectrum disorder ranging from abnormal adherence to deeply invasive placental tissue. We report a very rare case of central placenta praevia accreta and focal bladder percretism in a 29 years old pregnant woman with an obstetrical history of one previous vaginal delivery and four curettages following miscarriage.

Hysteroscopy as An Investigational Operative Procedure in Primary and Secondary Infertility: A Systematic Review.

Background: The aim of this study is to review current indications to diagnostic and/or operative hysteroscopy in primary and secondary infertility, as well as to determine its efficacy in improving fertility.

Materials And Methods: We gathered available evidence about the role of hysteroscopy in the management of various infertility conditions. Literature from 2000 to 2020 that pertained to this topic were retrieved and appropriately selected.

Failed diagnostic hysteroscopy: Analysis of 62 cases.

Objective: The aim of the presented study is to improve the office hysteroscopy success rate identifying some of the factors associated to an unsuccessful procedure. Moreover it would highlight the importance of an adequate patients follow up after office hysteroscopy failure enlightening the uterine pathologies missed at the first attempt.

Studydesign: This is a retrospective observational study.

Male PCOS equivalent and nutritional restriction: Are we stepping forward?

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder characterized by alteration of menses, polycystic ovaries, clinical and or biochemical signs of hyper-androgenism in the context of metabolic abnormalities such as obesity and insulin resistance that play a fundamental role in pathogenesis of the disease as well as in development of long-term complications including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type II diabetes mellitus (DM II). Latest evidence supports the hypothesis of a genetic component in the aetiology of PCOS that seems to be inherited through an oligo-genic mechanism and cluster in families. Recent studies identified the existence of a male PCOS correspondent syndrome in which the genes responsible for PCOS susceptibility in women may be inherited by male relatives of women with PCOS.

Conservative laparoscopic treatment of a benign giant ovarian cyst in a young woman.

Giant ovarian cysts are very rare. Recently, laparoscopic treatment, with extirpation of the giant cyst and associated oophorectomy, has been reported. In this article, we describe the first case of complete laparoscopic enucleating of a giant serous cystoadenomyoma with preservation of residual ovarian parenchyma in an 18-year-old girl.
