Early and Late Complications after Inguinofemoral Lymphadenectomy for Vulvar Cancer.

Background: We aimed to determine the frequency of early and late complications following groin surgery for vulvar cancer and analyze possible risk factors.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 99 women who underwent for vulvar cancer. The early (≤1 month) complications were wound infection, breakdown and lymphocyst and late (>1 month) complications were lower limb lymphedema, incontinence and erysipelas.

Is there any predictor for residual disease after cervical conization with positive surgical margins for HSIL or microinvasive cervical cancer?

Objective: We aimed to identify if there is any predictor of residual disease at repeat operation after cervical conization with positive surgical margins for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or microinvasive cervical cancer.

Materials And Methods: Records of patients who underwent immediate repeat conization or hysterectomy because of positive surgical margins for HSIL or microinvasive cervical cancer reported after conization were obtained. The relation between the residual disease and age, parity, menopausal status, and the factors of first conization (method, cone base area, height of cone, endocervical margin, glandular and endocervical curettage specimen involvement, and the number of quadrants with positive surgical margins) was assessed.

Analysis of non-squamous vulvar cancer cases: A 21-year experience in a single center.

Objective: To evaluate the patients with non-squamous cell type of vulvar cancer who were treated in our clinic within 21 years.

Materials And Methods: We assessed the data of 14 patients who were treated for non-squamous cancer of the vulva between January 1992 and August 2013. The age of patients, histopathological diagnosis of the tumor, tumor size, tumor location, medical or surgical treatment, response to the treatment, recurrence, and survival rates were analyzed.
