Primary osteosarcoma of the uterus (uOS) is rare, and its standard treatment has not yet been established. Herein, we present the case of a 50-year-old woman with uOS who demonstrated an improved prognosis after multiple surgeries to the metastatic sites. After the initial diagnosis of uOS, the patient showed recurrence and distant metastasis and hence expected to exhibit a poor prognosis.

Study Design: This retrospective analysis included 126 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection of USLs with DIE followed by postoperative administration of DNG or no medication. Every 6 months postoperatively, patients answered questions and underwent ultrasound examination to identify pain and/or endometrioma.
Surgery and radiotherapy are both regarded as standard treatments for occult cervical cancers. Surgery has several theoretical advantages over radiotherapy; therefore, such cancers, especially in their early stages, are commonly treated with radical parametrectomy. However, postoperative bladder dysfunction is an important potential complication of this type of surgery.

Methods: Between 2009 and 2011, 53 patients underwent total laparoscopic radical hysterectomies. They were categorized into groups A, B, and C based on the status of preserved pelvic nerve networks: complete preservation of the pelvic nerve plexus (group A, 27 cases); partial preservation (group B, 13 cases); and complete sacrifice (group C, 13 cases).
Objective: To assess the obstetric outcomes of our total laparoscopic radical trachelectomy (TLRT) cases for early stage cervical cancer.
Materials And Methods: A total of 56 patients who underwent TLRT between December 2001 and August 2012 were reviewed retrospectively using clinicopathological, surgical, and follow-up data from patients' medical records.
Results: We performed this operation on 56 patients during the study period.
