[Sentinel lymph node biopsy in cervical and endometrial cancers: a feasibility study].

The sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has been proposed for the cancers of the uterus in order to optimize the diagnosis of lymphatic metastases and micrometastases in early stage tumors. Patients with early invasive cervical (n = 8) or endometrial (n = 15) cancers were enrolled. A lymphoscintigraphy was carried out before the intervention.

Comparison between bisection/morcellation and myometrial coring for reducing large uteri during vaginal hysterectomy or laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy: results of a randomized prospective study.

Background: Vaginal hysterectomy (VH) is being performed increasingly by gynecologic surgeons. Thus, enlarged uteri are more frequently removed vaginally, requiring reducing techniques to allow vaginal extraction.

Material And Methods: We designed a randomized prospective study to compare bisection-morcellation and myometrial coring.
