Background: Aim of this study was to rate the misdiagnosis of histological type between preoperative endometrial biopsy and final postoperative pathology focusing on non-endometrioid endometrial cancer (NEEC). Secondary objective is to assess the concordance between intraoperative assessment and final pathology in a subgroup of patients.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in patients with histological diagnosis of endometrial cancer who underwent surgical staging between 2011 and 2016.
Objectives: Evaluate ultrasound diagnostic accuracy, maternal-fetal characteristics and outcomes in case of vasa previa diagnosed antenatally, postnatally or with spontaneous resolution before delivery.
Methods: Monocentric retrospective study enrolling women with antenatal or postnatal diagnosis of vasa previa at Sant'Anna Hospital in Turin from 2007 to 2018. Vasa previa were defined as fetal vessels that lay 2 cm within the uterine internal os using 2D and Color Doppler transvaginal ultrasound.
A 22-year-old primigravida was diagnosed with an 18-cm splenic cyst during routine third-trimester routine ultrasound examination. She was referred to a tertiary obstetric hospital and after multidisciplinary consultation, expectant management was decided on. Induction of labour was performed at term and she delivered vaginally with vacuum extractor application without complications.

- Over the last 30 years, the decline in operative vaginal delivery (OVD) has resulted in a higher rate of cesarean sections, sparking significant debate among healthcare professionals.
- The effectiveness of vacuum and forceps delivery techniques relies on proper training, and a shortage of skilled instructors may lead to these methods being increasingly overlooked.
- This study seeks to analyze existing literature, compare international OVD guidelines, and demonstrate the proper techniques for using vacuum and forceps to encourage safer OVD practices among clinicians.
