Objective: The Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial demonstrated that minimally invasive radical hysterectomy was associated with worse disease-free survival and overall survival among women with early-stage cervical cancer. It is unknown whether this applies to patients with low-risk disease following simple hysterectomy.
Methods: Among patients who underwent simple hysterectomy in the Simple Hysterectomy And PElvic node assessment trial, univariate and multivariate Cox models were used to assess the association of minimally invasive versus open surgery with clinical outcomes, including pelvic and extra-pelvic recurrence-free survival, overall recurrence-free survival, and overall survival.
Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when one or more pelvic organs (uterus, bowel, bladder or top of the vagina) descend from their normal position and bulge into the vagina. Symptoms include pelvic discomfort, fullness, and changes in bladder or bowel function. Treatment ranges from conservative approaches to surgery, depending on symptom severity.

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) remains scarcely reported, and complete tumor resection is the recommended treatment. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of the case of a 52-year-old woman who suffered from recurrent syncope episodes due to IVL with intracardiac extension to the right atrium. Partial tumor resection and postoperative hormone therapy were conducted first.

Introduction And Importance: Desmoid tumours typically arise in the abdomen and extremities. They are rare, originating from mesenchymal cells, with intra-abdominal desmoid tumours (DT) being even less common. While non-malignant and non-metastatic, they can be locally invasive, often necessitating surgical intervention for complete resection.

Background: One potential cause of implantation failure is abnormal endometrial receptivity, and how to objectively evaluate endometrial receptivity has been a matter of great concern. Endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA), a next-generation sequencing-based test that assesses endometrial gene expression, may be valuable in predicting endometrial receptivity, but whether ERA improves pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is currently controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ERA on pregnancy outcomes in patients with RIF.
