Background: The decision to perform an elective bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) at the time of a hysterectomy for a benign condition is complex.
Aim: To assess the determinants of the decision to proceed to a prophylactic BSO during a hysterectomy for a benign condition.
Materials And Methods: We collected demographic and clinical data, including age, menopausal status and risk of ovarian cancer. Using a regression model we analysed the decision perform a prophylactic BSO in women successively admitted for a hysterectomy for a benign condition, in relation to the collected demographic and clinical data.
Results: Data were collected for 43 women, aged between 37 and 65 years (mean age 48.6 years, SD 6.9), on the day before their hysterectomy. Thirty-six (84%) had a total hysterectomy and 7 (16%) a subtotal hysterectomy; 40 (93%) had a laparoscopic procedure. Prophylactic BSO was significantly associated with age: none of the women aged under 40 years had the procedure, compared with 8% of those aged 41-45 years, 29% of those aged 46-50 years and 83% of those aged 51 years or more (χ(2)=23; P<0.001). Of the postmenopausal women, 67% had a prophylactic BSO, compared with 24% of the premenopausal women (χ(2)=6; P<0.047). In this small series of patients no relationship was found between the decision to perform a BSO and the risk of ovarian cancer. Age was the only significant variable in the regression model (pseudo R(2) Nagelkerke=0.6, P<0.05).
Conclusion: The physician's recommendation to perform an elective BSO at the time of a hysterectomy for a benign condition is strongly influenced by the patients' age.

Uterine leiomyomata, commonly known as fibroids, are prevalent benign tumours affecting a significant percentage of women of reproductive age. Although many patients remain asymptomatic, a substantial proportion experience severe symptoms, including abnormal uterine bleeding and adverse reproductive outcomes. Surgical intervention often becomes necessary for patients with symptomatic fibroids, despite advancements in medical therapies.

Background: The objectives were to determine the prevalence of de novo and persistent pelvic pain after benign hysterectomy and to assess risk factors.
Methods: A Swedish prospective multicenter study of 440 women undergoing benign hysterectomy was conducted between October 2011 and March 2017. Measures of pain, the spatial extent of bodily pain, and pain sensitivity were assessed using a self-reporting questionnaire, Margolis's patient pain drawing, and quantitative sensory testing of pain thresholds for pressure, heat, and cold, respectively.

Parasitic leiomyoma (PL) develops when fragments of a morcellated uterine leiomyoma, during procedures such as laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) or total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), adhere to other tissues. We recently encountered a case where PL developed in the mesentery of the sigmoid colon following TLH. A 51-year-old woman had previously undergone TLH with in-abdominal morcellation.

Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are rare tumors that often present with non-specific symptoms, posing diagnostic challenges. This report aims to emphasize the importance of considering AMNs in the differential diagnosis of atypical pelvic symptoms, especially when initial evaluations suggest gynecological issues. A 56-year-old female with a past medical history of hyperlipidemia and a total vaginal hysterectomy performed over 20 years prior for abnormal uterine bleeding due to fibroids presented to her gynecologist with a three-week history of vaginal discharge and pelvic pain.

In our study, we aimed to retrospectively compare vNOTES hysterectomy, a new method, with a vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Our study included 186 hysterectomy cases (62 vNOTES hysterectomy, 62 VH, and 62 TLH) with benign indications diagnosed between 2021 and 2022. Our study is a retrospective and single-center study.
