Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify indications for and complications of abdominal or vaginal surgical removal of the cervical stump after previous supracervical hysterectomy.
Study Design: This was a retrospective chart review of trachelectomy patients at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, or Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Arizona, between January 1974 and December 2003.
Results: Of 335 patients with a history of supracervical hysterectomy who subsequently required trachelectomy, 25 were excluded from study. Half of the remaining 310 patients had trachelectomy between 1974 and 1983, an average of 26 years after hysterectomy. The indication in three quarters of trachelectomies performed vaginally was prolapse. The vaginal approach had significantly fewer complications than the abdominal approach.
Conclusion: Removal of the cervical stump is infrequent and has declined over a 30-year period. The decline in trachelectomy may be because of a decreasing number of supracervical hysterectomies performed. When trachelectomy is performed vaginally, prolapse is the most common indication, and there are few complications.

Purpose: To present an innovative deformable applicator that used Freiburg flap as vaginal applicator with or without free-hand interstitial needles in three-dimensional (3D) high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for vaginal stump recurrence of cervical cancer.
Material And Methods: Between September 2017 and January 2020, all patients with vaginal stump recurrence after radical hysterectomy of cervical cancer treated with vaginal stump brachytherapy using Freiburg flap as vaginal applicator with or without free-hand interstitial needles were retrospective analyzed. Characteristics related to patients and treatment modality as well as preliminary outcomes and side effects were investigated.

Background: The study aims to investigate the application of surgical vaginoscopy via a no-touch hysteroscopic approach for the management of female genital polyps. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of this technique in treating intrauterine pathologies in both pregnant and non-pregnant women.
Methods: A total of forty-six patients diagnosed with genital polyps underwent operative vaginoscopy at a university-affiliated hospital between April 1, 2017 and May 31, 2023.

Objective: Simultaneous implantation of a TOPS (transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthetic system) and THA (total hip arthroplasty) or staged approach.
Indications: Patients with a TOPS who have coxarthrosis. Patients with an existing THA who have required above-knee amputation and need a TOPS.

Introduction: Although commonly encountered in clinical practice and considered among the "bread and butter" cases in trauma and orthopedics, intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in certain scenarios pose a challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. Good reduction and stable fixation are a key for good outcome, and certain anatomical limitations such as amputations make that difficult to achieve. Ipsilateral above-knee amputation is a scenario where positioning of the patient on an orthopedic fracture table and reduction of the fracture becomes challenging.

Objectives: To evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of vaginal hysterectomy with cervical preservation in patients with genital prolapse stages II to IV.
Materials And Methods: This is a descriptive case series study. It included women with genital prolapse stages II to IV, indicated for vaginal hysterectomy, with negative cervicovaginal cytology for malignancy, who underwent subtotal vaginal hysterectomy with suspension of the cervical stump to the sacrospinous ligament between June 1 and December 31, 2023, at a high-complexity general clinic.
