Female sexual function in long-term cervical cancer survivors compared with healthy women and women affected by benign gynecological disorders.

Objective: To compare the female sexual function between cervical cancer survivors and healthy women or with benign gynecological diseases.

Study Design: From January 1, 2010 to January 31, 2019, a case-control study was conducted to compare the female sexual function of 106 cervical cancer survivors from a tertiary hospital and 185 women admitted to a gynecological outpatient clinic from the same health area for a routine gynecological examination (n=46) or for a benign gynecological disorder (symptomatic, n=113; asymptomatic, n=26). We prospectively assessed the female sexual function using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).

Quality of life in long-term cervical cancer survivors compared with healthy women and women with benign gynecological disorders.

Objective: The impact of cervical cancer treatment on the quality of life of long-term survivors compared with the general female population is controversial, and no studies have been conducted comparing patients with benign gynecological diseases. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life of cervical cancer survivors with that of healthy controls.

Study Design: A case-control study was conducted to compare the quality of life of 106 cervical cancer survivors from a tertiary hospital and 185 women admitted to a gynecological outpatient clinic from the same health area for a healthy woman check-up (n 46) or for a benign gynecological disorder (symptomatic, n 113; asymptomatic, n 26).

Development and internal validation of a multivariable prediction model for the quality of life of cervical cancer survivors.

Purpose: To elaborate a prediction model for quality of life of cervical cancer survivors.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study on 229 cervical cancer survivors. The quality of life measures included the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Cervix version 4.

Treatment and Impact of Cervical-Cancer-Related Lymphatic Disorders on Quality of Life and Sexuality Compared with Controls.

Lymphatic disorders are frequent complications related to treatment for cervical cancer (CC). The aims of the study are to evaluate the impact of lymphatic disorders on quality of life (QOL) and sexuality in CC survivors after the completion of oncological treatment and to compare them with controls. An ambispective cohort study was performed by using the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy (FACT)-Cervix (Cx) fourth version, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).

Incidence and univariate models for lymphatic drainage disorders following management for cervical cancer.

Aim: To clarify the incidence of lymphatic drainage disorders (LLD) after treatment for cervical cancer (CC) and to establish univariate models for their occurrence.

Methods: A total of 263 eligible patients with CC were identified between 2010 and 2019. We conducted a case-control study and divided the study population into two subsamples of 12 and 251 CC survivors based on the presence/absence of LLD, respectively.

Epidermoid carcinoma in the neovagina of a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. Case report and literature review.

Objective: To present the case of a squamous carcinoma in the neovagina of a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome and review of the literature related to treatment and prognosis of vaginal neoplasms or HPV infection in transgender women or with MRKH syndrome.

Materials And Methods: A 56-year-old woman consulted to the Hospital Universitario of Sevilla (Spain). During the clinical examination, a exophytic tumor at the bottom of the vagina was found and the biopsy reported squamous carcinoma and positive nucleic acid amplification test for human papilloma (HPV) type 16.

Adenosarcoma de alto grado de endocérvix y cavidad endometrial con componente heterólogo de rabdomiosarcoma. Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura.

Objective: To present the case of a patient diagnosed with high grade adenosarcoma of the endocervix and the endometrial cavity, with a heterologous component, and to conduct a review of the literature focusing on the diagnosis and therapeutic management of this disease condition.

Materials And Methods: We present the case of a 31-year-old female patient who came to Virgen Macarena University Hospital of Seville, a Level III regional institution, complaining of genital bleeding arising from an endocervical polypoid mass. The biopsy of the mass revealed a high grade, poorly differentiated leiomyosarcoma of the endocervix.

Direct trocar insertion without previous pneumoperitoneum versus insertion after insufflation with Veress needle in laparoscopic gynecological surgery: a prospective cohort study.

The aim of this study was to determine whether direct trocar entry without prior pneumoperitoneum at umbilical level (DTI) can be a safe alternative to access the abdominal cavity in gynaecological laparoscopic surgery. We present a prospective observational analytical study of cohorts, comparing DTI with umbilical entry with trocar after previous insufflation with a Veress needle at umbilical level (V). The study period was performed from June 2013 to April 2016; data was collected on 600 patients who underwent gynaecological laparoscopic surgery.

[Imaging techniques for the evaluation of systemic manifestations of vasculitis].

Vasculitides create a local inflammatory process in the vessel wall, which determines the different organic manifestations according to vessel size and location. Imaging techniques play a key role in the characterization and detection of large and medium size vessel vasculitides. Imaging is able to detect the vessel wall edema and to monitor the therapeutic response.

[Seminal vesicle cyst with renal agenesis associated with vascular anomalies. Case report].

Objective: We report a case of seminal vesicle cyst with ipsilateral renal agenesis associated wit abnormalities of the abdominal great vessels, not described previously in the bibliography.

Methods: 33 year-old-male with history of abdominal pain and fever. This case was evaluated by ultrasound, IV urography, CT scan and MRI.
