Objective: Parametrial tissue ligation during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is important in large uteri with large vessels.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed at Asan Medical Center for comparing TLH performed with a new knotless parametrial tissue ligation method and conventional laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) from March 2019 to August 2021. For TLH, after anterior colpotomy, the parametrial tissue was ligated by anchoring the suture and making a loop in one direction three times using 1-0 V-LocTM 180 (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA) suture. Subsequently, the cranial part of the loop was cut using an endoscopic device.
Results: A total of 119 and 178 patients were included in the TLH and LAVH groups, respectively. The maximal diameter of the uterus was larger in the TLH group (106.29±27.16 cm) than in the LAVH group (99.00±18.92 cm, P=0.01). The change in hemoglobin (Hb) level was greater in the LAVH group than in the TLH group (P<0.001). The weight of the removed uterus was greater in the TLH group than in the LAVH group (431.95±394.97 vs. 354.94±209.52 g; P=0.03). However, when the uterine weight was >1,000 g, the operative times and change in Hb levels were similar between the two groups. In both groups, no ureteral complications occurred during or after surgery.
Conclusion: Knotless parametrial tissue ligation using 1-0 V-LocTM 180 suture in TLH can be safely applied, even in cases with large uteri, without increased risks of ureteral injury or uterine bleeding.

Coexisting growing teratoma syndrome and gliomatosis peritonei following ovarian immature teratoma: a case report and literature review.

Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is characterized by a reduction in serum tumor markers despite the growth of a benign mature teratomatous mass following chemotherapy for germ cell tumors. Gliomatosis peritonei (GP) typically accompanies ovarian teratomas, marked by the dissemination of mature glial tissue across the peritoneum. The concurrent presence of GTS and GP after treatment for ovarian immature teratoma (IMT) is notably rare, with approximately 20 reported cases.

Objectives: Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy among Indian women after breast cancer. This study was undertaken to determine the pattern of care, long-term survival outcomes, and prognostic factors for cervical cancer patients treated at a tertiary care cancer centre in North India.
Methods: Ten-year data was retrieved for 435 stage I-IVA carcinoma cervix patients treated between 2009 and 2019.

Background and objectives Adenocarcinoma is increasingly being described in the histological profile of cervical cancer, which is a significant alteration in the disease's profile. This study, which highlights the rising incidence of adenocarcinoma in India, attempts to evaluate the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological findings in cervical cancer. The goal is to assess the utility of MRI in tumor staging and its consequences for the management of this evolving histological trend.

Endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is rare and difficult to distinguish from endometrial adenocarcinoma, particularly in large bulky cases. Herein, we report a rare case of a large endometrioid adenocarcinoma in a 58-year-old Japanese woman in which the tumor origin was difficult to identify. The patient presented with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding and was referred to a gynecologist for suspected uterine cancer based on an evaluation performed at another institution.

Aim To examine the relationship between tumor differentiation, parametrial, and lymphovascular invasion, as well as the differential expression pattern of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and various forms of cervical cancer. Methods Histologically diagnosed cases of in-situ and malignant lesions of the cervix were included in the study. Two sections were cut from paraffin blocks.
