Malignant Transformation of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Mature Cystic Teratoma of the Ovary: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Data.

Introduction: Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) are the most common neoplasm of the ovary, occurring in 10-20% of women during their lifetimes. MCTs may rarely undergo malignant transformation, of which squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histopathology. This rare malignancy is poorly understood; therefore, medical and surgical treatment have yet to be optimized to produce the best outcomes for patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in MCT (SCC-MCT).

Complications of Pessaries Amenable to Surgical Correction: Two Case Reports and a Systematic Review of the Literature.

Background: Forty percent of women will experience prolapse in their lifetime. Vaginal pessaries are considered the first line of treatment in selected patients. Major complications of vaginal pessaries rarely occur.

Same-day Discharge after Robotic Hysterectomy for Benign Conditions: Feasibility and Safety.

Study Objective: To investigate the feasibility and predictive factors for same-day discharge (SDD) after robotic hysterectomy (RH) for benign indications to optimize patient selection by incorporating preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables.

Design: A single-center retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary academic hospital.

Same-day dismissal for endometrial cancer robotic surgery: feasibility factors.

The aim of this study was to investigate the factors in feasibility and safety of same-day dismissal (SDD) of endometrial cancer patients undergoing robotic hysterectomy and staging. A single-institution retrospective chart review of endometrial cancer patients who underwent robotic hysterectomy and staging between 2012 and 2021 was performed. Patient demographics, medical and surgical history, intra- and postoperative events were examined as possible factors related to non-SDD.

Does MIS Play a Role in the Treatment of Advanced Ovarian Cancer?

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy allows a minimally invasive approach for interval debulking in patients with ovarian cancer considered unresectable to no residual disease by laparotomy at diagnosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the type of surgical approach at interval debulking (ID) after three courses of carboplatin and taxol in patients with unresectable ovarian cancer at diagnosis compared with the type of surgical approach at primary debulking (PD). A secondary objective was to compare the perioperative outcomes of MIS vs.
