Objective: To determine the prevalence and risk factors for the development of asymptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in ovarian cancer patients who underwent interval cytoreductive surgery after finishing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Methods: This is a prospective observational trial. Female patients with pathologically proven ovarian cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy without clinical evidence of VTE were included.
Introduction And Importance: Non-mammary metastases to the breast and axilla are rare instances, and isolated axillary lymph node metastases are especially rare. We present a rare case of left axillary lymph node metastasis from a primary endometrial carcinosarcoma.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 73-year-old woman who presented with a left breast tail palpable mass.
Background: In this retrospective study, we discuss our experience as a large tertiary referral center in Egypt in the management and follow-up of borderline tumors.
Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study where all patients diagnosed with a borderline ovarian tumor at Oncology Center Mansoura University from November 2014 to June 2020 were included. Demographics, preoperative, operative, postoperative, pathologic, and oncologic follow-up data were retrieved from a prospectively maintained electronic database.
Omental flap was introduced for breast reconstruction after mastectomy either alone or as an adjunct to prosthetic reconstruction. Laparoscopically harvested omental flap was used successfully for this issue. Most of reports had described its use after partial mastectomy, skin or nipple areola sparing mastectomies.

Case Presentation: In this report, we describe a young female who presented with bilateral ovarian masses that mimicked the classic clinical picture of ovarian cancer.
Background: Laparoscopic hysterectomy operations especially for obese patients necessitate Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide, which could affect cardiac and pulmonary functions. The present study aimed to compare the impact of pressure-controlled ventilation with volume-guaranteed (PCV-VG) and volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) with equal ratio ventilation (ERV), i.e.

The post-operative bladder catheterisation period of 30 patients who underwent LNSRH at two institutes in Egypt and Italy were prospectively evaluated with postoperative drainage of the bladder through a Foley catheter for two days without performing bladder-training exercise. The median duration for postoperative bladder catheterisation was 3.

Methods: Retrospective data were collected and analyzed on 71 patients undergoing robotic surgical procedures for gynecological cancers, including transperitoneal AL, between December 2014 and February 2018 at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy.
Results: Median age of the sample population was 50 years (range, 26-76 years).
