Objectives: Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer was introduced to improve quality of life after treatment. Sparing the pelvic autonomic nerves reduces bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction. The Leiden nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (LNSRH) was modified to the Swift procedure, the latter being more radical regarding the sacrouterine and parametrial resection. We investigate whether nerve-sparing surgery has comparable oncological outcomes as the conventional radical hysterectomy (CRH). Concurrently, we investigate whether there is a difference regarding the oncological outcomes of the 2 nerve-sparing techniques.
Methods: This is a single-center, observational prospective cohort study analyzing oncological outcomes in women undergoing CRH (1994-1999), LNSRH (2001-2005), or Swift procedure (2006-2010) for early stage cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics IA2-IIA).
Results: Three hundred sixty-three patients (124 CRH, 122 LNSRH, and 117 Swift) were included. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IB2 or higher (P = 0.005) was significantly more prevalent in the CRH cohort. The 5-year pelvic relapse-free survival and overall survival were not significantly different between the 3 cohorts (P = 0.116). Regarding the nerve-sparing cohorts, the Swift cohort showed a significant better 5-year overall survival (87.2%) compared with the LNSRH cohort (78.8%) (P = 0.04). In the LNSRH cohort, resection planes less than 5 mm free and need for adjuvant therapy were significantly higher than in the Swift cohort (P = 0.026 and 0.046, respectively).
Conclusions: The nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy shows a similar oncological outcome compared with the CRH. The more radical Swift version of nerve-sparing techniques is preferable to the former LNSRH procedure.

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 advantages and disadvantages of Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery (RLS) compared to other minimally invasive surgical approaches are debated in the literature.
Objective: To evaluate the learning curves (LC) and their assessment methods for Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery (RLS) and Laparoscopic Surgery (LPS) in gynaecologic procedures.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed including the English language observational or interventional studies reporting the absolute number of procedures needed to achieve competency in RLS and LPS gynaecologic procedures, along with an objective and reproducible LC assessment method.

Objective: This study aims to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the incidence of specific postoperative urologic complications, such as vesicovaginal fistula and ureterovaginal fistula, in patients undergoing minimally invasive radical hysterectomy (MIRH) versus abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) for early-stage cervical cancer.
Data Sources: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar up to April 2024.
Method: Comparative studies evaluating postoperative urologic complications following MIRH and ARH were included.

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.

Objective: It remains unclear whether modifying laparoscopic radical hysterectomy to adopt tumor-free principles can improve oncologic outcomes in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.
Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective cohort study of 276 patients with early-stage cervical cancer who were treated between January 2017 and January 2023, including 151 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy that incorporated modified tumor-free techniques (MTF group) and 125 patients who underwent conventional laparoscopic radical hysterectomy with a uterine manipulator and unprotected intracorporeal colpotomy (non-MTF group). Oncologic outcomes and perioperative results were analyzed using inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW).
