Economic evaluation of different routes of surgery for the management of endometrial cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: The benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for endometrial carcinoma (EC) are well established although the financial impact of robotic-assisted hysterectomy (RH) compared with laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) is disputed.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: English National Health Service hospitals 2011-2017/2018.

Surgical trends, outcomes and disparities in minimal invasive surgery for patients with endometrial cancer in England: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To examine surgical outcomes and trends in the implementation of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) use for endometrial cancer (EC).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: English National Health Service hospitals 2011-2017/2018.

Impact of Obesity on Surgeon Ergonomics in Robotic and Straight-Stick Laparoscopic Surgery.

Study Objective: Work-related musculoskeletal symptoms (WMSs) are reported to be increasing in surgeons performing minimally invasive procedures. Therefore, we investigated the use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) and electromyography (EMG) sensor recorders to record real-time information on the muscle movement/activity required to perform training exercises in simulated in normal and high body mass index (BMI) models.

Design: Prospective study.

Iatrogenic Menopause After Treatment for Cervical Cancer.

The ever-improving prognosis of women diagnosed with cervical cancer has meant that survivorship and treatment-related sequelae are being brought more into the spotlight in an attempt to try to reduce morbidity and improve women's long-term health. However, there are many issues surrounding an iatrogenic menopause in cervical cancer, a variety of potential management options and barriers to treatment. Women who have become menopausal under the age of 45 years as a result of cervical cancer are significantly less likely to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or continue it long term as compared with those who have undergone a surgical menopause for a benign reason.

The British Gynaecological Cancer Society Delphi consultation exercise on expected standards of practice for doctors specializing in the area of gynecological oncology.

Objective: To determine a set of auditable standards applicable to physicians working in the area of gynecological oncology, which could be implemented as accreditation criteria for the revalidation procedure.

Design: A 3-round Delphi consultation exercise.

Setting: British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) members and delegates at the 2006 and 2007 Annual BGCS conferences Population 35 BGCS members, 72 delegates attending the 2006 BGCS conference and 120 delegates attending the 2007 conference.
