Incisional hernia after ovarian debulking surgery.

Objectives: The purpose of our study was to explore the incidence and contributing variables of an incisional hernia after debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer.

Material And Methods: The imaging of patients who underwent debulking surgery with an extended vertical incision was re-evaluated for incisional hernias at one-year follow-up, and their medical records were reviewed. We performed univariate and multivariate analysis to find out the risk factors for an incisional hernia.

Comparison of transumbilical and periumbilical median incisions in ovarian cancer surgery.

Objective: The umbilicus is traditionally circumvented while performing a vertical midline abdominal incision. There is a gap in knowledge pertaining to avoiding the umbilicus. Our aim was to investigate whether a transumbilical (TU) or periumbilical (PU) midline incision conferred any advantage to the patient.

Diagnostic Performance of Machine Learning Models Based on F-FDG PET/CT Radiomic Features in the Classification of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) radiomic features combined with machine learning methods to distinguish between benign and malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN).

Methods: Data of 48 patients with SPN detected on F-FDG PET/CT scan were evaluated retrospectively. The texture feature extraction from PET/CT images was performed using an open-source application (LIFEx).

The etiology of adnexal masses in women with a history of non-gynaecological malignancy: recurrence, second, primary or none?

Objective: The occurrence of adnexal masses in patients with a history of non-gynaecological malignancy (NGM) raises concerns for malignancy, either primary or metastasis. Subsequent treatment and prognosis depends on the etiology. Our aim was to investigate the characteristics and results of the patients with suspicious adnexal masses, who had a history of NGM.

Effect of Lymphadenectomy on Survival in Early-Stage Type II Endometrial Carcinoma and Carcinosarcoma.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate whether systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection delivers any survival advantage in a subgroup of patients with type II endometrial carcinoma and carcinosarcoma.

Methods: We evaluated 135 patients with clinically early-stage (Stage I-II) type II endometrial carcinoma and carcinosarcoma who underwent systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection or who did not undergo any lymph node dissection.

Results: Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survivals (RFS) were significantly longer in the systematic lymph node dissection group (hazard ratio 0.
