The impact of body mass index on surgical complications in minimally invasive hysterectomy for uterine fibroids.

Research Question: We aimed to assess the impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on 30-day postoperative complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for fibroids.

Design: Using data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database (2012-2020), we analyzed major and minor 30-day postoperative complications, stratified by BMI, in patients with uterine fibroids who underwent MIH. Complications were stratified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

knockdown in inhibiting the proliferation, apoptosis resistance, and migration of ovarian cancer cells.

Background: Ovarian cancer accounts for 3% of all malignancies in women and kills about 140,000 women worldwide each year, representing the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in women. At diagnosis, 70% of patients with ovarian cancer are already at stage III or IV disease, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 45%. Studies have found that solute carrier family 1 member 3 () is highly expressed in various cancers and is associated with the poor prognosis of these cancers.

Comparison of abbreviated and complete MRI protocols for treatment response assessment of colorectal liver metastases.

Objective: To compare abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to complete MRI for treatment response assessment of colorectal liver metastases.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients with colorectal liver metastases between January 1, 2012, and December 3, 2021, who were undergoing chemotherapy and who had at least one follow-up gadoxetic-enhanced MRI. For each patient, two MRIs (baseline MRI and follow-up MRI) were randomly selected.

Placenta Accreta Spectrum: Risk Factors for Unplanned Immediate Hysterectomy in Planned Uterine Preservation Surgery.

Objective:  Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a term used to describe trophoblast invasion into the uterine wall. The condition can be FATAL: at labor due to a lack of spontaneous separation of the placenta from the uterine wall, leading to severe hemorrhage. In this study, we aim to evaluate preoperative risk factors for unplanned immediate hysterectomy in PAS uterine-preserving surgeries.

Association of body mass index with pathologic agreement of preoperative and postoperative tumor grade in endometrial cancer.

Objective: We aim to study association of BMI of EC patients, with the level of agreement between preoperative and postoperative tumor grade.

Methods: A retrospective study. We included patients with EC diagnosed in an outpatient clinic which had surgical staging as in our division.

Short-term outcomes of minimally invasive total vs supracervical hysterectomy for uterine fibroids: a National Surgical Quality Improvement Program study.

Background: Uterine fibroids are the most common indication for benign hysterectomy in the United States, but data regarding the association between hysterectomy type and outcomes for this indication are lacking.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the rate and odds of short-term (30 days) postoperative complications between patients who underwent minimally invasive total laparoscopic hysterectomy and those who underwent laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for uterine fibroids.

Study Design: This was a cohort study of prospectively collected data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2012 to 2020.

Postoperative outcomes in minimally invasive total versus supracervical hysterectomy for endometriosis: a NSQIP study.

Purpose: To study the rate and odds of 30 day postoperative complications among patients undergoing minimally invasive total (TLH) compared to supracervical (LSCH) hysterectomy for endometriosis.

Study Design: A cohort study of patients with a diagnosis of endometriosis undergoing hysterectomy. We used prospectively collected data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2012 to 2020.

GD2 and GD3 gangliosides as prognostic biomarkers in high grade serous ovarian cancer.

Objective: Gangliosides GD2 and GD3 have been proposed to be of significance in diagnosis of ovarian masses. We aim to study serum GD2 and GD3 gangliosides as predictors of oncological outcomes among high grade serous (HGS) ovarian cancer (OC).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study including biobanked serum samples of HGS OC treated between 2005 and 2016.

CT Surveillance for Local Recurrence After Pancreatic Cancer Resection: Evaluation of Imaging Findings From the SAR Disease-Focused Panel Consensus Statement.

A Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Disease-Focused Panel (DFP) consensus statement described findings suspicious for local recurrence (LR) on surveillance imaging after PDAC resection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate interreader agreement and predictive utility of potential imaging findings of LR on serial surveillance CT examinations after the Whipple procedure for PDAC, using the SAR PDAC DFP consensus statement. This retrospective study included 126 patients (mean age, 68.

Approach to radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer after the Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial and associated complications: a National Surgical Quality Improvement Program study.

Background: The Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer study results revolutionized our understanding of the best surgical management for this disease. After its publication, the guidelines state that the standard and recommended approach for radical hysterectomy is an open abdominal approach. Nevertheless, the effect of the Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial on real-world changes in the surgical approach to radical hysterectomy remains elusive.
