Survey of trends in authorship assignment in gynecologic oncology: Keeping score and playing fair.

Authorship confers credit to those responsible for a publication. In 1985, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors criteria were founded to standardize authorship assignment. We sought to investigate practices and values in authorship assignment in Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) members.

Does surgical platform impact recurrence and survival? A study of utilization of multiport, single-port, and robotic-assisted laparoscopy in endometrial cancer surgery.

Background: Minimally invasive hysterectomy is the standard of care in the majority of women diagnosed with endometrial cancer via robotic-assisted, multiport, and single-port laparoscopy technology. Although safe and efficacious, it is unclear how oncologic outcomes are impacted by surgical platform.

Objective: To identify differences in progression-free survival and overall survival in women undergoing minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer staging via either multiport, single-port, or robotic-assisted laparoscopy.

Robotic Cystectomy.

Retrospective observational studies support the utility of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that RARC with extracorporeal urinary diversion may lead to decreased estimated blood loss, decreased rate of transfusion, similar oncologic outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and variable increased operative times. Although RCTs comparing RARC with open radical cystectomy are currently ongoing, it may be several years before the utility of RARC is known.

Compliance with research standards within gynecologic oncology fellowship: A Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship Research Network (GOFRN) study.

Objectives: Participation in clinical and basic science research is emphasized in gynecologic oncology training. We sought to identify trends in adherence to expected research practices and reasons for non-adherence among gynecologic oncology fellows.

Methods: An anonymous 31-question online survey assessing academic behaviors, including IRB compliance, authorship assignment, data sharing, and potential barriers to non-adherence was distributed to all SGO gynecologic oncology fellow members in July 2016.

Postoperative Outcomes after Single-port Laparoscopic Removal of Adnexal Masses in Patients Referred to Gynecologic Oncology at a Large Academic Center.

Study Objective: To report surgical and pathologic outcomes after single-port laparoscopy (SPL) for adnexal masses in patients referred to a gynecologic oncology practice at a single academic institution.

Design: A retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force Classification II.2).

Single-port laparoscopy in gynecologic oncology: seven years of experience at a single institution.

Background: Single-port laparoscopy has gained popularity within minimally invasive gynecologic surgery for its feasibility, cosmetic outcomes, and safety. However, within gynecologic oncology, there are limited data regarding short-term adverse outcomes and long-term hernia risk in patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic surgery.

Objective: The objective of the study was to describe short-term outcomes and hernia rates in patients after single-port laparoscopy in a gynecologic oncology practice.
