After minimally invasive surgery gained popularity in gynecology, laparoscopic operations became widespread among oncologic operations. However, more studies evaluating experiences of oncologic surgeons during the learning period of laparoscopy are needed. To compare the surgical outcomes and perioperative complications of laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy in the treatment of early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer patients, we retrospectively investigated patients who underwent surgery due to endometrial cancer at our institution between 2014 and 2018.

Objective: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic disease, which is regarded as a disease of reproductive-aged women. Endometriosis is most frequently diagnosed during reproductive period. We aimed to determine the frequency of endometrioma in women over 40 years of age who were operated for adnexial mass.

Method: The records of 9375 patients who were examined in the gynecology outpatient clinic between 2010 and 2018 and underwent cervicovaginal smear were retrospectively reviewed. Seventy-three (0.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of clear surgical margin distance and other factors associated with the recurrence and survival of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva.
Methods/materials: A total of 107 patients operated for vulvar carcinoma from 1996 to 2016 were included in the analysis. Patients were divided into subgroups with clear pathological margin of 2 mm or less, greater than 2 to less than 8 mm, and 8 mm or greater for the analysis of the prognostic impact of the clear margin distance.
Maternal serum autotaxin levels in early- and late-onset preeclampsia.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare serum autotaxin levels in early-onset and late-onset preeclamptic pregnant women and healthy controls at a university hospital.
- Among 55 preeclamptic patients, autotaxin levels were significantly higher in early-onset cases (1.16 ng/ml) than in late-onset (0.7 ng/ml), and these levels were also higher compared to healthy pregnant women.
- The findings suggest that serum autotaxin may be a potential marker for early-onset preeclampsia, but more research is needed to validate this.
The aim of this study was to assess the obstetrical and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies in cancer patients and survivors. A retrospective analysis of 68 pregnancies with a history of cancer and 31 newly diagnosed pregnant cancer patients were included in the study. The mean birth weight and the mean gestational age at delivery were significantly lower in the pregnant cancer patients (p < .
