Objective: We sought to assess the long-term success rate of the HydroThermAblator system (HTA).
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 376 patients who underwent HTA at our hospital during an 8-year period, following case note review and distribution of a validated menorrhagia questionnaire.
Results: The mean age of patients was 43 years. Operative complications included 3 women (0.8%) who experienced intraoperative burns. Of the 248 (66%) returned questionnaires, satisfaction rates were high at 77%. The amenorrhea rate was 38%, with a further 37% of women reporting a substantial decrease in their blood loss. In all, 29 (11%) women underwent subsequent hysterectomy for persistent menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea. Younger women had a significantly higher chance of proceeding to subsequent (P < .05) hysterectomy.
Conclusion: This study confirms the long-term patient satisfaction with HTA and that the overall probability of proceeding to subsequent hysterectomy over 8 years was only 11%.

Risk Factors of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Following Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer: A Propensity Score Matching-Based Study.
Int J Womens Health
December 2024
Department of Infection Control, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, 210029, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: This study aims to examine the risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) following radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer (CC). Furthermore, the study seeks to develop a visual model that can effectively assist physicians in improving their proficiency in diagnosing, treating, and preventing CAUTIs.
Patients And Methods: 48 subjects who developed CAUTI postoperatively were assigned to the infection group.
Successful Fertility Preservation in a Case of Low-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma: A Multidisciplinary Approach Through the Oncofertility Network.

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all uterine malignancies. Standard treatment is total hysterectomy and bilateral tubal oophorectomy, although fertility preservation may be desirable because of the young age of onset. We document a case of fertility preservation in a 27-year-old nulligravida diagnosed with LGESS, which not only enabled the successful birth of two live infants but also underscores the efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach to patient treatment through the Hyogo Oncofertility Network (HOF-net).

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) is a biphasic epithelial tumor associated with HPV infection. This rare tumor primarily affects the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, with only two cases reported outside these locations to date-one in the breast and one in the vulva. This report presents a case of a tumor resembling an HMSC arising in the cervix.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 437 patients to identify risk factors for PAS using logistic regression, creating a predictive model validated by additional patient data, showing an AUC of 0.821.
- * Key risk factors identified included neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, cesarean section timing, and specific types of placenta previa; the model offers potential for early diagnosis and management of PAS in affected women.
