Objective: We designed this study to focus on women with mobile uteri benign no larger than 14 weeks, who would ordinarily be considered candidates for vaginal hysterectomy and compare the outcomes when abdominal routes were chosen. We also compared the intra and post operative complications, requirement for blood transfusion, length of hospital stay, between abdominal and vaginal route of hysterectomy.
Method: In a simple randomized prospective comparative study 200 consecutive patients requiring hysterectomy for benign uterine conditions were analysed over a period of 2 years. (June 2006-May 2008). Group A (n = 100) underwent vaginal hysterectomy (non descent vaginal hysterectomy, NDVH) which was compared with group B (n = 100) who had abdominal hysterectomy.
Results: As far as duration of operation, duration of i.v. drip, mobilization in post operative ward, duration of hospital stay, P value was significant. Regarding blood loss P value was insignificant.
Conclusion: The accessibility of the vaginal passage, disease confined to the uterus and the surgeons experience are the major determining factors for the choice of the route of hysterectomy.

Case report: Carcinosarcoma of uterus in nulliparous women.
Front Oncol
December 2024
Gynecologic Oncology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare cancer combining both carcinoma and sarcoma features, often resembling endometrial carcinoma, with a potential link to nulliparity (never having given birth) as a risk factor.
- A 55-year-old woman presented with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding and was diagnosed after surgery, revealing well-differentiated adenocarcinoma and osteosarcoma components, along with multiple positive immunohistochemical markers.
- Following a series of surgical interventions and treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient demonstrated no signs of tumor recurrence and had a disease-free survival of seven months as of July 2024.
Freiburg flap used as vaginal applicator with/without free-hand interstitial needles in three-dimensional high-dose-rate brachytherapy for vaginal stump recurrence of cervical cancer.

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.
Vaginal power morcellation using a contained bag system: a novel surgical technique.
Facts Views Vis Obgyn
December 2024
Background: To decrease the risk of unsuspected malignancies disseminating, several studies have shown the safety of using a containment bag to limit tissue dissemination during manual or power morcellation. Furthermore, in 2020, the FDA recommended performing laparoscopic power morcellation for myomectomy or hysterectomy only within a tissue containment system.
Objective: To show step-by-step a new surgical technique using vaginal power morcellation within an endoscopic pouch without adding or extending other incisions.
Cell salvage for the management of postpartum haemorrhage.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
December 2024
Liverpool Reviews and Implementation Group, Department of Health Data Science, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Rationale: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours of birth, is the leading global cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Allogenic blood transfusions are a critical component of PPH management, yet are often unfeasible, particularly in resource-poor settings where maternal morbidity is highest. Autologous cell salvage in the management of PPH has been proposed to combat limitations in access to allogenic blood and potential transfusion-related risks.

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.
