Introduction: Cervical cancer is currently the fourth most common cancer in women and in the poorest countries this neoplasia still represents a widespread and potentially lethal disease. We present a rare case of cervical cancer in pregnancy, analyzing the historical changes behind the procedure of radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer and discussing variations in surgical techniques and anatomical definitions that have since been proposed.
Results: We present the case of a 33-year-old patient who attended with vaginal bleeding in the second trimester of pregnancy.
Study Objective: Transvaginal extraction is a feasible method to remove surgical specimen. In this study, we aim to report our experience with in-bag transvaginal specimen retrieval after laparoscopic myomectomy over the past 15 years.
Design: Single-center retrospective analysis.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of high-risk HPV-positive and negative women with high-grade cervical dysplasia through a retrospective analysis of medical records from 2010 to 2014.
- A total of 2,966 women were included, with 85% being HR-HPV-positive; results indicated that HR-HPV-positive patients had a significantly higher risk of recurrence after conization compared to HR-HPV-negative patients.
- The findings suggest that while HR-HPV-negative high-grade dysplasia accounts for 15% of cases, these patients generally have better outcomes, highlighting the need for further research to validate these results.
Objective: Sentinel node mapping (SLN) has replaced lymphadenectomy for staging surgery in apparent early-stage low and intermediate risk endometrial cancer (EC). Only limited data about the adoption of SNM in high risk EC is still available. Here, we evaluate the outcomes of high-risk EC undergoing SNM (with or without back-up lymphadenectomy).

However, no study has demonstrated this hypothesis. Here, we aimed to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in surgical smoke.
