Risk Factors for Anastomotic Leakage: A Comprehensive Single-Center Analysis of Colorectal Anastomoses for Ovarian and Gastrointestinal Cancers.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a major complication in colorectal surgery, particularly following rectal cancer surgery, necessitating effective prevention strategies. The increasing frequency of colorectal resections and anastomoses during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for peritoneal carcinomatosis further complicates this issue owing to the diverse patient populations with varied tumor distributions and surgical complexities. This study aims to assess and compare AL incidence and associated risk factors across conventional colorectal cancer surgery (CRC), gastrointestinal CRS (GI-CRS), and ovarian CRS (OC-CRS), with a secondary focus on evaluating the role of protective ostomies.

Port Site Metastasis in Women with Low- or Intermediate-Risk Endometrial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review of Literature.

Port site metastasis (PSM) has been reported as a rare metastasis in women with endometrial carcinoma (EC). However, even more rarely, it has also been described in patients with low- or intermediate-risk EC. Unfortunately, knowledge appears limited on the topic.

Robotic approach for the treatment of gynecological cancers recurrences: A ten-year single-institution experience.

Introduction: Although the management of gynecological cancers recurrences may be challenging, due to the heterogeneity of recurrent disease, the aim of this work is to present a descriptive analysis of gynecological malignancies recurrences in our institution treated by robotic approach.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective review and analysis of data of patients who underwent robotic surgery for recurrent gynecological malignancies at Catholic University of the Sacred Hearth, Rome, from January 2013 to January 2024.

Results: A total of 54 patients underwent successful robotic cytoreductive surgery.

Concurrent endometrial cancer in atypical endometrial hyperplasia and the role of sentinel lymph nodes: clinical insights from a multicenter experience.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of concurrent endometrial cancer in patients pre-operatively diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia undergoing hysterectomy. Additionally, we assessed the occurrence of high to intermediate-risk and high-risk tumors according to the ESGO-ESTRO-ESP classification. The study also compared surgical outcomes and complications between patients undergoing simple hysterectomy and those undergoing hysterectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy.
