Introduction: Para-aortic lymphadenectomy plays a fundamental role in the surgical management of pelvic gynecological cancers. Two laparoscopic approaches exist: the transperitoneal (TP) and the extraperitoneal (EP). The aim of this study was to compare these 2 approaches in terms of surgical outcomes, specially the number of removed lymph nodes according to the surgical technique, and morbidity.
Materials And Method: A single-center retrospective study was carried out at the Lariboisiere University Hospital between January 2011 and March 2020 including all patients who underwent para-aortic lymphadenectomy for the management of a pelvic gynecological cancer (cervix, endometrium, ovary). Univariate and multivariate analysis (logistic regression) were performed to compare the TP and the EP groups.
Results: 143 patients were included: 74 in the TP group and 69 in the RP group. The total duration of surgery was 220.8minutes in the TP group and 166.4minutes in the EP group (P<0.001 in multivariate analysis). No significant difference between groups were found in the average total number of lymph nodes removed but there was a statistically significant difference in the average latero-aortic number of lymph nodes removed: 8.5 lymph nodes in the TP group and 11.3 lymph nodes in the group RP (P<0.001 in multivariate analysis). There was no difference between groups in peri and postoperative morbidity.
Conclusion: EP para-aortic lymphadenectomy reduces duration of surgery and increases the average latero-aortic number of lymph nodes removed with same morbidity compared to TP para-aortic lymphadenectomy, this confirming its preferred indication in endometrial and in cervical cancers.

Patient Perceptions of Pessaries for Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

December 2024
From the Albany Medical Center Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Urogynecology, Albany, NY.
Importance: A vaginal pessary is a highly effective treatment for patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Patient views of pessaries and how their beliefs affect whether they choose pessary treatment is unknown.
Objective: Our objective of this study was to describe the knowledge, understanding, and patient concerns regarding pessary use for POP management.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Patients with differences in sex development or intersex traits (DSD/I) struggle to find clinically competent care in adulthood. We sought to describe the surgical exposure of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) fellows who had previously trained in ObGyn (URPS-Gyn) to patients with DSD/I and their interest in performing 18 relevant procedures. We hypothesized that most graduating fellows would not have had exposure to many of the surgeries.

Aim: Ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is an established surgical treatment for rectal prolapse and outlet obstruction. In contrast to continental Europe, in the UK and US the use of synthetic mesh has been abandoned in favour of biologic mesh, due to concerns regarding mesh related morbidity. The current study investigated if either material is superior, in terms of clinical recurrence and mesh related complications.

To determine the feasibility of implementing Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting & Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) for reporting of adnexal masses at our institution, with a specific goal of increasing the use of O-RADS from a baseline of <5% to at least 75% over a 16-month period. A prospective interrupted time series quality improvement study was undertaken over a 16-month period. Plan, do, study, act cycles included: (1) Engagement of interested parties, (2) Targeted educational sessions, (3) Development of reporting templates, (4) Weekly audit-feedback.

Purpose: Surface Guided Radiation Treatment (SGRT) is a new method of positioning and monitoring patients on the linear accelerator's couch, using visual light cameras to monitor the skin's surface. The purpose of this study was to compare the SGRT with the conventional method, based on lasers and tattoos, in terms of accuracy and time expenditure, on patients with pelvic malignancies.
Materials And Methods: A group of 34 patients were enrolled in this study, 24 males who underwent radiotherapy prostate treatment and 10 females who underwent gynecological radiation therapy.
