Brachytherapy and surgery versus surgery alone for IB2 (FIGO 2018) cervical cancers: A FRANCOGYN study.

Objective: Evaluation of the management by first brachytherapy followed by radical hysterectomy (Wertheim type) compared to radical hysterectomy alone (Wertheim type) for the treatment of IB2 cervical cancer.

Methods: Data from women with histologically proven FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer treated between April 1996 and December 2016 were retrospectively abstracted from twelve French institutions with prospectively maintained databases.

Results: Of the 211 patients with FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer without lymph node involvement included, 136 had surgical treatment only and 75 had pelvic lymph node staging and brachytherapy followed by surgery.

Impact of the first lockdown for coronavirus 19 on breast cancer management in France: A multicentre survey.

Objective: This study examined the impact of lockdown for SARS-CoV-2 on breast cancer management via an online survey in a French multicentre setting.

Material And Methods: This is a multicentre retrospective study, over the strict lockdown period from March 16th to May 11th, 2020 in metropolitan France. 20 centres were solicited, of which 12 responded to the survey.

Impact on Prognosis of the Surgical Route, Laparoscopy or Laparotomy, for the Surgical Staging of Early Stage Ovarian Cancer-A Study from the FRANCOGYN Group.

Background And Objective: according to the latest ESMO-ESGO recommendations, laparotomy is the standard surgical approach to treat and stage patients with presumed early stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). A few studies have investigated the efficacy and the safety of laparoscopy for the staging of early stage EOC, and this question is still in the center of debates. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) benefits of the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) have still to be specified.

ROBOT-ASSISTED ABDOMINAL LAPAROSCOPIC RADICAL TRACHELECTOMY FOR EARLY STAGE CERVICAL CANCER :Case report with surgical intervention.

Background: Vaginal radical trachelectomy to preserve fertility in women with early stage cervical cancer was first described by Dargent in 1994. Nowadays, robot-assisted abdominal laparoscopic radical is a new alternative. We want to share our first experience of robot-assisted radical trachelectomy.

Easy way to perform a labia minora reduction.

Background: Labia minora reduction is a surgery in the rise. Surgeons are left with a large choice of described techniques yet there is a paucity of visual data to guide surgeons through this procedure. Also, many gynecologic surgeons are reluctant to perform this operation emphasizing potential complications.

Assessment of the quality of life of gynecologic surgeons: A national survey in France.

Introduction: Well-being and quality of life (QoL) in the workplace have become a priority in all professions. Both academic studies and the media seek to assess how physicians feel. Nonetheless, few studies have focused on the specific situation of surgeons in terms of their work/life balance and their satisfaction at work.

Aggressive angiomyxoma of the perineal region.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumour that frequently involves the perineal region with a high risk of local recurrence. This is a case report of a 24-year-old female patient with a genital prolapse. We performed a surgical treatment.

[Oncoplastic breast surgery for the management of ductal carcinoma in situ].

DCIS (Ductal carcinoma in situ) constitutes 15,2% of breast cancers. Conservative surgery coupled with adjuvant radiotherapy is often recommended. The rate of revision surgery is high, from 30 to 60%.

Postoperative pelvic pain: An imaging approach.

Postoperative pelvic pain after gynecological surgery is a readily detected but unspecific sign of complication. Imaging as a complement to physical examination helps establish the etiological diagnosis. In the context of emergency surgery, vascular, urinary and digestive injuries constitute the most frequent intraoperative complications.

Overview of digital breast tomosynthesis: Clinical cases, benefits and disadvantages.

In France, the national breast cancer-screening program is based on mammography combined with clinical breast examination, and sometimes breast ultrasound for patients with high breast density. Digital breast tomosynthesis is a currently assessed 3D imaging technique in which angular projections of the stationary compressed breast are acquired automatically. When combined with mammography, clinicians can review both conventional (2D) as well as three-dimensional (3D) data.

[Reexcision for positive margins in the surgery of ductal carcinoma in situ: are there any risk factors?].

Objectives: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a common breast lesion (10% of breast cancers). In most of the cases the standard treatment is a partial mastectomy combined with adjuvant irradiation. However, when positive margins (<2mm) occur, surgical re-excision is necessary.

[Study of surplus cost of robotic assistance for radical hysterectomy, versus laparotomy and standard laparoscopy].

Objectives: The study purpose was to compare the costs among robotic, laparoscopic and open radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-seven patients underwent robotic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Cases were performed by three surgeons, at two institutions, and were retrospectively reviewed to perform a cost comparison between all three modalities.

Vacuum-assisted closure therapy in the management of patients undergoing vulvectomy.

Objectives: To investigate whether systematic postoperative VAC therapy could improve vulvectomy healing.

Study Design: We reviewed medical data from 54 women who underwent in the period of March 2006 to December 2009 radical vulvectomy or wide local vulvectomy with defect volume >40cm(3). Patients were divided into two groups according to immediate postoperative care.

[Abrikossof tumor of the cervical esophagus].

The aim of this study was to report one granular cells tumor of the cervical esophagus revealed by dysphagia. X-rays examination showed a paraesophageal tumor and esophagoscopy, a narrow stenosis and a benign ulceration. The tumor was removed through left cervical approach with suture of the esophageal opening.
