AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to compare the outcomes and complications of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) versus abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) in patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer and tumors smaller than 2 cm.
  • Results showed no significant differences in 3-year overall survival or disease-free survival rates between the two surgical methods.
  • However, LRH was associated with higher rates of overall complications, specifically intraoperative and postoperative issues, particularly concerning ureteral injuries and ureterovaginal fistulas compared to ARH.

Article Abstract

Objective: To compare the oncological outcomes and major complications of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) for stage IB1 cervical cancer (FIGO 2009) with a tumour size less than 2 cm.

Methods: We retrospectively compared the oncological outcomes and major complications of 1207 stage IB1 cervical cancer patients with a tumour size less than 2 cm who received LRH (n = 546) or ARH (n = 661) in 37 hospitals.

Results: (1) There was no significant difference in 3-year overall survival (OS; 97.3% vs. 98.5%, P = 0.288) or 3-year disease-free survival (DFS; 95.1% vs. 95.4%, P = 0.792) between LRH (n = 546) and ARH (n = 661).(2) The rate of any 1 complication refers to the incidence of one or more complications in a patient, which was higher with LRH than ARH (OR = 4.047, 95% CI = 2.035-8.048, P < 0.001). Additionally, intraoperative complications occurred with LRH (OR = 12.313, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.571-96.493, P = 0.017), and postoperative complications (OR = 3.652, 95% CI = 1.763-7.562, P < 0.001) were higher with LRH than ARH. The ureteral injury rate was higher with LRH than with ARH (1.50% vs. 0.20%, OR = 9.814, 95% CI = 1.224-78.712, P = 0.032). The ureterovaginal fistula rate was higher with LRH than ARH. The rates of obturator nerve injury, bladder injury, vesicovaginal fistula, rectovaginal fistula, venous thromboembolism, bowel obstruction, chylous leakage, pelvic haematoma, and haemorrhage were similar between the groups.

Conclusions: The oncological outcomes of LRH and ARH for stage IB1 cervical cancer patients with a tumour size less than 2 cm do not differ significantly. However, incidences of any 1 complication, intraoperative complications, and postoperative complications were higher with LRH than ARH, with complications manifesting mainly as ureteral injury and uterovaginal fistula.

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.

Oncologic Outcomes of Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy Incorporating Modified Tumor-Free Techniques.

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).

Article Synopsis
  • Smooth muscle tumors of the uterus vary from benign leiomyomas to malignant leiomyosarcomas, with STUMP representing a challenging gray area of tumors with uncertain malignant potential.
  • A case study is presented of a 52-year-old woman with severe menorrhagia, diagnosed with STUMP after a hysteroscopy and biopsy, which raised concerns about the possibility of leiomyosarcoma.
  • The patient underwent a radical hysterectomy, where the final diagnosis remained STUMP, and has since been on regular follow-up without any recurrence, highlighting the rarity of STUMP presenting as a uterine polyp.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed 29 patients with undifferentiated uterine sarcomas (UUS) to understand their clinical features and prognosis, finding most patients diagnosed were around 52 years old and primarily in stage I at diagnosis.
  • - Treatments involved extensive surgeries, with a high rate of total hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy; however, over half of the patients died within two years, revealing a median progression-free survival of 15.5 months and overall survival of 27.4 months.
  • - The findings highlight UUS as aggressive tumors with poor survival outcomes, indicating that most patients experience rapid disease progression and metastatic spread despite surgical treatment.
