Access to Hysterectomy-What Is the Realistic Rate for Pure Vaginal Hysterectomy? A Single-Center Prospective Observational Study.

Hysterectomy (HE) is the most common surgical procedure in gynecology worldwide. The guidelines of most countries unanimously recommend vaginal hysterectomy (VH) as the access of first choice. However, there are significant international differences in the implementation of this recommendation.

Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS): Diagnosis, Clinical Presentation, Therapeutic Approaches, and Clinical Outcomes.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to the abnormal adhesion of the placenta to the myometrium, with varying degrees of severity. Placenta accreta involves adhesion to the myometrium, placenta increta invades the myometrium, and placenta percreta extends through the serosa to adjacent organs. The condition is linked to deficient decidualization in scarred uterine tissue, and the risk increases when placenta previa is present and with each prior cesarean delivery.

Statement of the Uterus Commission of the Gynecological Oncology Working Group (AGO) on the Use of Primary Chemoimmunotherapy to Treat Patients with Locally Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer.

The publication of two large randomized studies - the ENGOT-EN-6-NSGO/GOG-3031/RUBY trial and the NRG-GY018 trial - which investigated combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy to treat patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) has transformed the clinical study landscape in terms of first-line therapy for affected patients and has set a new standard of therapy. In the ENGOT-EN-6-NSGO/GOG-3031/RUBY trial, the addition of dostarlimab to standard chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival and overall survival in the overall population, a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival and overall survival in the subgroup with dMMR/MSI-high tumors, and a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival in the subgroup with pMMR/MSI-low tumors. In the NRG-GY018 trial, the addition of pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival in the group with dMMR tumors, and a significant and clinically relevant improvement of progression-free survival in the group with pMMR tumors.

Ten recommendations for sarcoma surgery: consensus of the surgical societies based on the German S3 guideline "Adult Soft Tissue Sarcomas".

Purpose: The evidence-based (S3) guideline "Adult Soft Tissue Sarcomas" (AWMF Registry No. 032/044OL) published by the German Guideline Program in Oncology (GGPO) covers all aspects of sarcoma treatment with 229 recommendations. Representatives of all medical specialties involved in sarcoma treatment contributed to the guideline.

Does structured obstetric management play a role in the delivery mode and neonatal outcome of twin pregnancies?

Purpose: While the optimal delivery method of twin pregnancies is debated, the rate of cesarean deliveries is increasing. This retrospective study evaluates delivery methods and neonatal outcome of twin pregnancies during two time periods and aims to identify predictive factors for the delivery outcome.

Methods: 553 twin pregnancies were identified in the institutional database of the University Women's Hospital Freiburg, Germany.
