Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the feasibility and safety of the Endoscopic Nipple Sparing Mastectomy (E-NSM) technique for women at high risk of breast cancer, focusing on performing the surgery with minimal incisions and immediate reconstruction.
  • A total of 10 patients underwent the procedure with a complete success rate, showing only a small percentage of complications, primarily minor issues like skin necrosis and hematomas.
  • Patients reported high satisfaction with the esthetic results, leading to a recommendation for the technique; however, further research involving a larger patient group is needed for validation.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed the relationship between the volume of ovarian cancer surgeries at hospitals in France and patient outcomes, focusing on data from 2012 to 2016.
  • It included 8429 patients and found that those treated in hospitals performing at least 20 surgeries per year had better 5-year overall survival (OS) rates compared to those in lower-volume hospitals.
  • The findings indicate that high-volume hospitals (≥ 20 cases/year) are linked to improved patient outcomes, particularly when compared to hospitals performing fewer than 10 surgeries per year, highlighting the importance of surgical experience in treating ovarian cancer.
