Agreement between a Spectral-Domain Ocular Coherence Tomography Biometer with a Swept-Source Ocular Coherence Tomography Biometer and an Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry Biometer in Eyes with Cataract.

Purpose: To assess the agreement between biometric parameters measured by a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography optical biometer device (Optopol Revo NX) with a validated swept-source biometer (IOLMaster 700) and a validated optical low-coherence reflectometry biometer (Lenstar LS 900), in cataract surgery candidates.

Methods: In this prospective comparative study, 100 patients (100 eyes) who were eligible for cataract surgery were involved. Bland-Altman plots were used to assess agreement between devices for biometric parameters including axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and central corneal thickness (CCT).

Robotic-assisted benign hysterectomy compared with laparoscopic, vaginal, and open surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The potential benefits and limitations of benign hysterectomy surgical approaches are still debated. We aimed at evaluating any differences with a systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases were last searched on 6/2/2021 to identify English randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective cohort and retrospective independent database studies published between Jan 1, 2010 and Dec 31, 2020 reporting perioperative outcomes following robotic hysterectomy versus laparoscopic, open, or vaginal approach (PROSPERO #CRD42022352718).

[Evolution of endometrial cancer surgery].

Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robotic assisted) is currently recommended when surgery is envisaged, including for patients in the high risk group. The place of the uterine manipulator in this indication still needs to be clarified by prospective studies. The indocyanine green sentinel lymph node procedure has become the reference technique for lymph node staging of FIGO stages I and II regardless of histological type.

Residual Microscopic Peritoneal Metastases after Macroscopic Complete Cytoreductive Surgery for Advanced High-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: A Target for Folate Receptor Targeted Photodynamic Therapy?

Despite conventional treatment combining complete macroscopic cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and systemic chemotherapy, residual microscopic peritoneal metastases (mPM) may persist as the cause of peritoneal recurrence in 60% of patients. Therefore, there is a real need to specifically target these mPM to definitively eradicate any traces of the disease and improve patient survival. Therapeutic targeting method, such as photodynamic therapy, would be a promising method for such a purpose.
