Fallopian tube cytology as a diagnostic tool for adnexal malignancy: the CytoSaLPs score.

Introduction: During the past decade, the theory that high-grade extrauterine pelvic tumors originate from the fallopian tube has been strongly suggested. Our study aims to illuminate the possible role of tubal cytology as an accessory identification tool for gynecologic extrauterine malignancies, allowing in the long term the implementation of population-level cytologic tube evaluation during all benign gynecologic surgeries that do not result in salpingectomy.

Materials And Methods: We ex vivo collect salpingeal epithelial cells from the fibria directly from fresh fallopian tube specimens from women undergoing salpingectomy for any indication.

Experience With J-Plasma Device in Achieving Complete Cytoreduction in Patients With Ovarian Cancer.

Background/aim: Ovarian cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies in women. Optimal surgical cytoreduction is the most important prognostic factor of survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The helium gas plasma device (J-Plasma) has recently been introduced into surgical treatment of these patients with some promising results.

Follow the River to the Lake: Sentinel Lymph Node Identification Using the Robotic Platform in Endometrial Cancer Patients.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy for the management of endometrial cancer patients has been introduced into surgical staging of these patients. Several articles and guidelines have evaluated and found sentinel lymph node biopsy as an efficient and oncological safe procedure. The aim of this article is to highlight the most important tips and tricks in order to optimize sentinel lymph node identification and dissection based on our experience.

The Utility of Fallopian Tube Cytology in the Early Detection of Extrauterine Serous Gynecological Malignancies: A Narrative Literature Review.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to analyze the published evidence for the use of fallopian tube brush cytology for the early detection of extrauterine serous gynecological cancer.

Methods: We systematically searched the literature and, additionally, cross-checked on the bibliographies of selected articles. The inclusion criteria involved studies assessing the utility of fallopian tube brush cytology and its applications in the diagnosis, screening, or follow-up of extrauterine serous gynecological cancer.

Does Obesity Forbid Robotic Gynecological Surgeries? An Urban Legend.

Obesity is a worldwide problem that considered to be a challenge in optimal surgical management. A breakthrough in the technologies of minimal invasive surgery over the last ten years has turned robotic approach into the widespread method for surgical management of obese population. Aim: In this study we emphasize the benefits of the robotic assisted laparoscopy versus open laparotomy and conventional laparoscopy in obese women with gynecological disorders.
