Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the recurrence rate of para-aortic lymph nodes in patients with early-stage cervical cancer who did not have surgical staging for these nodes while undergoing radical surgery.
- A total of 432 patients were included, with a focus on various stages of cervical cancer and the follow-up revealed that only 0.5% of patients experienced recurrence in the para-aortic lymph nodes.
- The overall 5-year recurrence-free survival rate for the cohort was found to be 90%, suggesting that para-aortic lymphadenectomy may not be necessary in all early-stage cases.
Surgical site infection rates are among 5-35% in all gynecologic oncology procedures. Such infections lead to increased patient morbidity, reduction in quality of life, higher likelihood of readmissions, and reinterventions, which contribute directly to mortality and increase in health-related costs. Some of these are potentially preventable by applying evidence-based strategies in the peri-operative patient setting.
