Incidence and risk factors of silent deep venous thromboembolism before interval debulking surgery in ovarian cancer patients, a tertiary centre experience.

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.

A Totally Laparoendoscopic Approach for Low Rectal Cancer with Inguinal Nodal Metastasis.

Background And Aims: Isolated inguinal nodal metastasis from rectal cancer is rare with better oncological outcome in case of surgical resection.

Methods: We report a rectal cancer case with inguinal nodal metastasis that was operated using a totally endoscopic approach. Laparoscopic intersphincteric resection was done for rectal cancer and video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) for inguinal lymph nodes.
