Outcomes in women age 40 years and older with cytologically benign endometrial cells.

Objective: We sought to estimate cytologically benign endometrial cell (CBEC)-associated endometrial hyperplasia and cancer rates, and describe clinical and histologic outcomes.

Study Design: Medical records of women age >40 years with CBEC in 2005 through 2010 were reviewed for clinical characteristics; assessment with endometrial biopsy, ultrasound, or hysteroscopy; and consequent outcomes.

Results: Of 658 women, 281 (42.

Incidence of and risk factors for postoperative ileus in women undergoing primary staging and debulking for epithelial ovarian carcinoma.

Objective: Thorough primary cytoreduction for epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) improves survival. The incidence of postoperative ileus (POI) in these patients may be underreported because of varying POI definitions and the evolving, increasingly complex contemporary surgical approach to EOC. We sought to determine the current incidence of POI and its risk factors in women undergoing debulking and staging for EOC.
