Recent findings suggest that high-grade serous ovarian cancer can originate in the fallopian tube. Not only has that made the identification of precursor lesions pivotal in early detection and prevention of these cancers, prophylactic salpingectomy alongside hysterectomy for benign indications has been increasingly proposed as well. The present prospective single-center study included 273 women who underwent opportunistic salpingectomy alongside laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. Uterine and tubal histopathological results as well as intra- and postoperative complications were evaluated. The complication rate was 3.3%, of which none were caused by salpingectomy. Uterine histopathology diagnosed 181 patients (66.8%) with uterine myomas, 60 patients (22.1%) with adenomyosis, 29 patients (10.7%) with adenomyomatosis, and, 1 patient (0.4%) without pathological abnormality. p53 signatures were detected in 221 right fallopian tubes (80.9%) and in 229 left tubes (83.9%). In total, 8 patients showed bilateral STIL (2.9%), whereas in 1 patient (0.4%) STIL was detected in the left tube only. No STIC were detected. Laparoscopic opportunistic salpingectomy is demonstrated to be both safe and feasible. It appears to be promising to reduce the risk for ovarian cancer, yet more studies are needed to undoubtedly confirm this.

Patient and Surgeon Attitudes Toward Opportunistic Salpingectomy During Nongynecological Surgeries for the Prevention of Ovarian Cancer: A Qualitative Study.
J Surg Oncol
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, New York, USA.
Background And Objectives: Opportunity salpingectomy (OS), or prophylactic removal of the fallopian tubes during an operation for another indication, is broadly accepted as a risk-reduction strategy for ovarian cancer during gynecological operations. However, OS during nongynecological abdominal surgery is rare in the United States. A better understanding of surgeon and patient attitudes and perceived barriers to OS during nongynecological surgeries may facilitate implementation in the United States.

The following review focuses on routine postoperative care after cesarean delivery (CD), including specific Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAS) recommendations as well as important postpartum counseling points. Following CD, there is insufficient evidence to support administration of prophylactic multi-dose antibiotics to all patients. Additional antibiotic doses are indicated for the following scenarios: patients with obesity, CD lasting ≥ 4 hours since prophylactic dose, blood loss >1,500 mL, or those with an intra-amniotic infection.

Leukaemia-related protein 16 (LRP16) has been found to be highly expressed in various tumours and to be related to poor prognosis. However, the role of LRP16 in endometrial carcinoma remains to be explored. We aimed to investigate the prognosis and role of LRP16 in endometrial carcinoma.

Objective: To report a rare, misleading fibroid degeneration involving a nonfunctional, noncommunicating horn in a woman with a unicornuate uterus. Although the presence of a functional rudimentary horn may lead to signs and symptoms that recommend its removal, nonfunctional cases are rarely reported, and because of their apparent functional inactivity, the need for their removal has not yet been reported. No previous report showed the possibility of a degenerative process in a nonfunctional rudimentary horn causing patient discomfort.
