Septic pelvic thrombophlebitis is defined as an endovascular thrombus of infectious etiology. It is frequently diagnosed only after excluding other more common pathologies. A high level of suspicion should be maintained in the context of a fever refractory to broad-spectrum antibiotics that improves after initiation of systemic anticoagulation.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of actinomycin D (ActD) as prophylactic chemotherapy (P-chem) in patients with high-risk complete hydatidiform mole (Hr-CHM) on progression to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).
Methods: From 1996 to 2023, 426 Hr-CHMs were selected in a cohort of 1623 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). From 1996 to 2023, 290 patients with Hr-CHMs received a single bolus dose of Act-D at the time of uterine evacuation (Hr-CHM P-chem group); 136 with the same risk factors did not receive P-chem (Hr-CHM control group).

Despite its low incidence, complete postoperative abdominal evisceration represents a complication requiring an urgent solution. We aimed to present a rare case of an abdominal evisceration of the omentum and small-bowel loops after a total abdominal hysterectomy and review the literature regarding this condition's diagnosis and therapeutic management. On the sixth postoperative day for a uterine fibroid, a 68-year-old patient presented with an abdominal evisceration of the omentum and small bowel that occurred two hours before.

Objective: This case report aims to present a rare occurrence of fallopian tube prolapse into the vaginal vault following hysterectomy, underscoring the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication.
Case Report: A 45-year-old woman, with a history of hysterectomy for adenomyosis, presented with symptoms mimicking a vaginal tumor, including persistent discharge, abdominal pain, postcoital bleeding, and weight loss. Imaging raised concerns of malignancy, but surgery revealed a prolapsed fallopian tube with chronic inflammation.
Background: Disparities in postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and its prophylaxis may exist based on race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES). Our objective was to evaluate whether patients from racial and ethnic minority groups and patients from lower SES backgrounds received less appropriate PONV prophylaxis and experienced higher rates of PONV and post-discharge nausea and vomiting (PDNV).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 23,333 adults who underwent major surgeries (total knee arthroplasty, cholecystectomy, hysterectomy, and prostatectomy) from 2017-2022 in a single, multi-state hospital system.
