Objective: To report the first uterine transposition for fertility sparing in cervical cancer.
Methods: We report a 33-year-old woman with stage Ib1 cervical cancer (b2 cm in size) who had a radical trachelectomy that, after the definitive pathological report, fulfilled the criteria for adjuvant radiotherapy.
Results: The patient had eggs retrieval and received gosereline 10.8 mg before surgery. The uterine corpus and ovaries were detached from the previous vaginal anastomosis, laparoscopically mobilized, and sutured in the right upper abdominal wall with non-absorbable transparietal suture. The adjuvant external beam radiotherapy (45 Gy) was delivered in the pelvis. One week after, the uterus and ovaries were repositioned and sutured in the vagina. The patient had hospital discharged in the 2° post-operative day and no early complications. After 6 months of follow-up the patient has regular menses and no evidence of recurrence.
Conclusions: Uterine transposition is feasible after radical trachelectomy in selected patients who still desire to preserve fertility. However, further studies that address its effectiveness and safety are required.

Article Synopsis
- * The report highlighted two cases of ovarian torsion following laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, where both patients underwent a procedure meant to prevent this complication but still experienced torsion.
- * With ovarian torsion occurring in 1-8% of post-hysterectomy cases and rising cervical cancer rates among younger women, further research and improved surgical techniques are essential for better prevention and diagnosis.
Transverse testicular ectopia in a newborn with transposition of the great arteries: A unique case report.

Article Synopsis
- Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital condition where both testes and parts of Müllerian organs herniate into a single passage in males with a 46XY karyotype, and it’s often associated with persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS).
- The case highlights a 3-day-old newborn male with TTE and a concurrent heart issue called transposition of the great arteries (TGA), where a postnatal ultrasound raised concerns about variations in sexual characteristics.
- This case is significant as it's the first documented instance of TGA occurring alongside TTE, emphasizing the need for careful diagnosis and interdisciplinary care for optimal outcomes in such rare congenital anomalies.
As oncologic therapy continues to advance, survivorship care has widened the realm of possibilities for quality-of-life improvements, including fertility preservation and restoration. We aim to summarize the current and future directions of fertility preservation techniques for patients facing gonadotoxic medical therapies who desire pregnancy after their condition is treated. This review of both ovarian and uterine transposition highlights the present roles, techniques, and fertility outcomes of the two fertility preservation treatment modalities designed to protect reproductive organs from harmful pelvic radiation.

Locally advanced cervical cancer poses a significant challenge to fertility-sparing treatments. Pelvic radiotherapy impairs reproductive potential owing to ovarian, uterine, and endometrial side effects. This study presents a literature review of the main fertility-sparing therapeutic alternatives for locally advanced cervical cancer and a case report of the first childbirth following uterine transposition for gynecological malignancies.

In this video, we review the steps of uterine transposition, emphasizing robotic trocar placement and docking, how to optimize organ manipulation and tissue handling, and our pearls for successful perioperative management. The patient is a 27-year-old woman with T2 node-positive rectal cancer. Uterine transposition is a new surgical procedure with limited information regarding outcomes.
