Tubocutaneous fistula.

Introduction. Tubocutaneous fistula is a very rare condition; most cases described in the literature are secondary to endometriosis, tuberculosis, and complications of child birth and gynecological operations. Case Presentation.

Management of women who test positive for high-risk types of human papillomavirus: the HART study.

Background: Certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) are the primary cause of almost all cervical cancers. HPV testing of cervical smears is more sensitive but less specific than cytology for detecting high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+). HPV testing as a primary screening approach requires efficient management of HPV-positive women with negative or borderline cytology.

Frequency of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia following large loop excision of the transformation zone.

Aim: To determine the frequency of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) following large loop excision of the transformation zone of the cervix (LLETZ) according to grade and completeness of excision of CIN.

Methods: A retrospective study of 669 patients who had LLETZ biopsies showing CIN 1, 2, or 3. The patients were subdivided according to the grade and completeness of excision of CIN.

Intraperitoneal 131I- and 111In-791T/36 monoclonal antibody in recurrent ovarian cancer: imaging and biodistribution.

An examination of the biokinetics and biodistribution of i.p. administered 131I- or 111In-labelled 791T/36 antibody (1 mg) has been carried out in five patients with stage III/IV ovarian cancer.

Carbon dioxide laser surgery for cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia. A report on 300 cases.

The CO2 laser was used to treat 300 patients with cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN). The patient characteristics, histological features, complications and follow-up are described and our experience is discussed. The CO2 laser appears to be safe and efficient for outpatient treatment of CIN, with a cure rate of 94%.
