Background: Prospective trial evidence is lacking regarding the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction surgery among older patients. Our study aimed to investigate whether implementing the ERAS protocol could enhance post-operative recovery in this patient population.
Methods: Older patients undergoing elective transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction surgery were randomly assigned to either the ERAS group or the conventional group.

Cervical cancer is a common tumor in women and one of the common causes of cancer death in women. Due to the aggressive and non-specific nature of traditional chemotherapy, there is a growing need for new treatment modalities. Currently, tumor immunotherapy is increasingly garnering attention as a disruptive treatment approach.

Nevertheless, there is currently a significant lack of comprehensive real-world pharmacovigilance studies on the ADEs associated with Abraxane.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of ADEs associated with Abraxane using data mining from the FAERS database, analyzing data from 2005 to 2023.

Introduction: Shoulder pain is one of the most common complications after laparoscopy. Previous studies have found a number of methods to reduce shoulder pain after laparoscopic surgery, but these methods have not been targeted to specific populations. The purpose of this study was to identify people who are more likely to develop shoulder pain.

Design: Step-by-step explanation of the case and surgical procedure using a video and slides. The Medical Ethics Committee of Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University approved the study and decided for this video to be exempt from formal approval, and informed consent was obtained from the patient.
Background: Studies have shown that stem cell transplantation can improve smooth muscle cell (SMC) regeneration and remodelling. Gap junctions can enhance the cytoprotective effects of neighbouring cells. We investigated the effect of gap junctions on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into SMCs.

Methods: First, a 3-mm trocar was inserted into the bladder under ultrasound guidance after the bladder had been infused with 600 ml normal saline. Second, we inserted the forceps through the trocar into the bladder and pulled the mesh through the 3-mm trocar.
Background: Endometriosis of the uterine body can be manifested as diffuse solid lesions or cystic lesions. The former is common, while the latter is rare, especially for cystic adenomyosis larger than 5 cm.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old woman was admitted for severe and worsening dysmenorrhea.
Objective: To explore the safety and efficiency of modified sacrospinous ligament fixation (MSSF) for apical prolapse.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study. Patients diagnosed with apical prolapse from 2014 to 2019 were recruited and divided into three groups: sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSF), MSSF, and laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy (LSH).
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial participants in cancer development. HOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (HOXA-AS2) plays a tumor promoter role in bladder cancer. However, the functional role of HOXA-AS2 in cervical cancer remains unclear.

Methods: We used 4 common databases for conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis, and eligible studies were included in the analysis. The association of preoperative PNI with overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate the factors that might affect the putative survival benefit from pre-operative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with early stage bulky cervical cancer.
Methods: A retrospective review for 304 patients with stage IB(2)/IIA(2) cervical cancer was performed. Two groups were made according to pre-operative NAC or not: NAC group (n=154) and primary surgery group (PST, n=150).
