RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: To explore the possibility of treatment with VNOTES sentinel lymph node dissection concept in patients with endometrial cancer. METHODS: Patients who underwent VNOTES sentinel lymph node biopsy with the Comba modification were compared to patients who underwent conventional laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy performed by the same surgical team. A total of 38 patients who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy + total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) were compared with 19 patients who underwent VNOTES retroperitoneal sentinel lymph node biopsy + hysterectomy and BSO. Surgical steps were described. RESULTS: The average operation time, perioperative blood loss, the number of sentinel lymph nodes, presence of complications, and preoperative-postoperative hemoglobin-hematocrit differences, tumor stages, grades, largest tumor diameter, depths of invasion, and histological subtypes were similar in both the VNOTES and conventional laparoscopy groups. The postoperative pain scores were lower and the hospital stay was shorter in the VNOTES group than in the conventional laparoscopy group. No disease recurrence had been detected in either group at the time of writing. CONCLUSION: Compared to conventional laparoscopy, sentinel lymph node biopsy with the VNOTES technique provides similar surgical results and is more advantageous in terms of postoperative pain and hospital length of stay.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether abdominal hot water pack application improves gastrointestinal motility following gynecological oncology surgery. METHODS: The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04833699). (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04833699?cond=NCT04833699&draw=2&rank=1). In this randomized controlled trial, participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to the hot water pack group (standardized enhanced recovery protocols plus rubber water bag with a fluffy cover filled with boiled tap water [80°C] and placed on the abdomen at 3, 6, 9, and 12 h postoperatively for 30 min each time) or the control group (standardized enhanced recovery protocols). A subumbilical or supraumbilical vertical midline incision was made to perform staging surgery procedures, including hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. The primary outcome was the time to first passage of flatus from the end of the staging procedure. RESULTS: In total, 121 women were randomized to the control (n = 62) or hot water pack (n = 59) group. The use of an abdominal hot water pack significantly reduced the mean time to passing first flatus (25.2 ± 3.6 vs. 30.6 ± 3.9 h; hazard ratio [HR] = 4.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.8-7.1; P < 0.0001), mean time to first bowel movements (28.4 ± 4.0 vs. 34.4 ± 4.5 h; HR = 4.9; 95% CI: 3.0-7.9; P < 0.0001), mean time to first defecation (33.4 ± 4.9 vs. 41.0 ± 7.6 h; HR = 4.3; 95% CI: 2.1-6.8; P < 0.0001), and mean time to tolerating solid diet (2.1 ± 0.6 vs. 2.8 ± 1.0 days; HR = 4.4; 95% CI: 2.2-8.7; P < 0.0001) compared to the control group. The postoperative ileus incidence was significantly lower in the hot water pack group (3.4%) than the control group (16.1%) (P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Abdominal hot water pack application improved gastrointestinal function recovery in women following surgical staging procedures for gynecological malignancy.

OBJECTIVE: To show dissection of sentinel lymph nodes. DESIGN: A step-by-step demonstration of the technique with narration. SETTING: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Sentinel lymph node biopsy with indocyanine green (ICG) has become more widely used and has been featured in recently published guidelines for EC [1]. Minimally invasive approaches with the sentinel lymph node concept (conventional laparoscopy, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal surgeries or robotic) to EC staging have resulted in lower rates of peri- and postoperative complications than conventional staging procedures [2]. INTERVENTIONS: No video article has been published in the literature about high pelvic, para-aortic sentinel lymph node dissection. An informed consent form was obtained from the patient. An institutional review board approval was not required. A 45-year-old female with gravidity 0, parity 0, and body mass index of 23.4 kg/m2 presented with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding (spotting). Increased endometrial thickness was detected on transvaginal ultrasound (10 mm) in the postmenstrual period. Endometrioid-type endometrial adenocancer with focal squamous differentiation International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics grade I was detected on endometrial biopsy. The patient had hepatitis B virus positivity and no other chronic disease. A laparotomic myomectomy had been performed in 2016. Laparoscopic high pelvic, low para-aortic sentinel lymph node dissection with ICG and hysterectomy (without uterine manipulator) + bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed (Supplemental Video 1). The operation time for the procedure was 110 minutes and the estimated blood loss was <20 mL. No major complications occurred during or after the surgery. The patient stayed in the hospital for 1 day. The final pathology result showed an International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics grade I, endometrioid-type endometrial adenocancer with focal squamous differentiation, as a 1.5 × 1 cm tumorous mass invading less than one-half of the myometrium. Neither lymphovascular invasion nor sentinel lymph node metastasis was detected. A multicenter, prospective study showed that sentinel lymph node dissection with ICG in clinical stage 1 EC is feasible and has a high degree of diagnostic accuracy in detecting EC metastases. In that study, isolated para-aortic sentinel lymph node was detected in 3 of 340 patients (<1%) [2]. Another study reported the detection rate of isolated para-aortic sentinel lymph node to be 1.1% in patients with intermediate- and high-risk EC [3]. CONCLUSION: There are in some cases 2 distinct channels emanating from one side, and it is important to follow each and to acknowledge there may be more than one sentinel, one of which is lower in a typical location and one higher as in this case. This video article is the first video demonstration of bilateral isolated high pelvic, para-aortic sentinel lymph node dissection in EC.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer and can recur in most cases. Surgery is an option for recurrent ovarian cancer. Parasitic infestation disseminated in an immunocompromised host can be fatal. The case is here presented of a female patient diagnosed with early-stage ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy was initiated for treatment. At the follow-up examination, masses in the liver suggestive of recurrence were detected on positron emission tomography computed tomography. Surgery was performed. A Strongyloides stercoralis infestation mimicking relapsing ovarian cancer in the liver was diagnosed.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the blood levels of adipokines in obese patients with endometrial cancer who have and have not undergone omentectomy. METHODS: Between September 2017 and September 2019, the study recruited 54 patients with endometrial cancer. Measurements were taken of blood levels of human leptin, perilipin-1, adiponectin, adipolin, resistin, visfatin, and estrone preoperatively and postoperatively before adjuvant therapy or at the end of one month. The serum samples were separated by centrifugation for 10 mins at 3,000 revolutions/min, then stored at -80 °C until assay. RESULTS: In this prospective study, a total of 54 endometrial cancer patients were analyzed in two separate groups according to the omentectomy status. Comprehensive staging surgery with omentectomy and without omentectomy was performed in 26 patients and 28 patients, respectively. The age, body mass index, body fat index, waist circumference, and skin thickness values of the patients with and without omentectomy were found to be similar. No statistically significant difference was determined between the patients with and without omentectomy in respect of the blood level of the adipokines measured preoperatively. A strong statistically significant correlation was determined between the pre and postoperative levels of Human Leptin (p = 0.002), perilipin-1(p = 0.001), adipolin (p < 0.001), adiponectin (p < 0.001), resistin (p = 0.001), visfatin (p < 0.001), and estrone (p = 0.004) (r = -0.43, -0.47, 0.75, 0.84, -0.47, - 0.58, -0.41, respectively) CONCLUSIONS: Omentectomy affected the postoperative blood levels of adipokines in obese patients with endometrial cancer. As omentectomy may have some positive effects on metabolism in these patients, it may be considered during endometrial cancer surgery due to the possible positive metabolic effects.

This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) scores on the stage of ovarian cancer (OC), chemotherapeutic response, and overall survival (OS) in patients with OC.The data of the patients who operated due to OC between January 2015 and January 2020 in a tertiary referral hospital were recorded. The patients' basic characteristics, preoperative total cholesterol, albumin, lymphocyte count, tumor markers, disease stage, grade, chemotherapeutic response, OS, and progression-free survival were recorded. The PNI and the CONUT score were calculated.The mean PNI level was considerably higher in the early-stage group than the advanced-stage group (50.02 ± 6.8 vs. 46.3 ± 7.4, p = 0.005). The AUC was 63% for the cutoff point 45.98 of PNI, whereas the AUC was 42% for the cutoff point 1.5 of CONUT score in predicting early-stage disease. The PFS and OS were significantly higher in the high PNI group than the low PNI group (p = 0.01, p = 0.002, respectively).The patients with early-stage OC had significantly higher PNI levels and lower CONUT scores in our study population.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of using progesterone due to early vaginal bleeding on aneuploidy screening markers in the first trimester. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This case control study includes the pregnant women who applied to our clinic in order to have a screening test for Down syndrome in the weeks of 11°/7-136/7. The patients were divided into three groups. Self reported vaginal bleeding with progesterone therapy (Bl+, Prg+, n:70), Self reported vaginal bleeding without progesterone therapy (Bl+, Prg-, n:70) and as a control group pregnant women who had no vaginal bleeding. (NoBl, NoPrg, n:70). In all patients, free beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (ß-hCG), pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels and nuchal translucency (NT) thickness were analyzed. Mean MoMs of the markers were compared between three groups. RESULTS: In the two groups with vaginal bleeding (Bl+, Prg + and Bl+, Prg-) the free ß-Hcg MoM values were statistically higher (1.22 ± 0.72, 0.98 ± 0.45, respectively) compared to the No Bleeding/No Progesterone group (0.81 ± 0.52) (p ≤ 0.001, p ≤ .01, respectively). However, no significant difference was found between the free ß-hCG MoM value of women with Bl+, Prg + group (1.22 ± 0.72) and Bl+, Prg - group (0.98 ± 0.45). (p: .053, significance level limitation with Bonferroni correction p: .017). PAPP-A and NT thickness did not differ significantly between the groups. CONCLUSION: Our data did not find an association between the use of oral progesterone and any alternations in first trimester screening parameters. Regardless of the progesterone usage, vaginal bleeding in the first trimester pregnancies increased the free ß-hCG MoM values compared to pregnancies without vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.

INTRODUCTION: Our objective was to compare the effect of rectal misoprostol (Cytotec) versus rectal hyoscine-n-butyl bromide (Buscopan) on patients undergoing hysteroscopy. We hypothesised that HBB may have a role in cervical priming. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This trial was conducted at Bezmialem Vakif University Hospital. Women of reproductive age between 18-50 years who were scheduled for operative hysteroscopy indicated by type 1 submucous myoma or endometrial polyps were recruited for the study. Ninety patients were divided randomly into three groups. Group 1 received placebo treatment. Group 2 received rectal 200 mcg misoprostol and Group 3 received rectal 20 mg hyoscine-n-butyl bromide two hours before the procedure. Procedures were performed using a bipolar 26 F (9 mm) continuous-flow rigid resectoscope with a 30° lens. The outcome measures included cervical dilation width and time, ease of cervical dilation, procedure time and operative complications. Postoperative self-rated pain was assessed one hour after the procedure. RESULTS: Thirteen patients (43. 3%) in the placebo treatment group, 11 patients (36.7%) in the misoprostol group and four patients (13.3%) in the hyoscine-n-butyl bromide group needed analgesics postoperatively (p = .02). The mean duration of cervical dilation time was longest in Group 1 and shortest in Group 3, however this difference did not reach statistical significance (p=.11). There was no difference with regard to other studied parameters. SUMMARY: HBB reduced the need for pain medication compared to placebo. Larger studies are needed to further investigate the role of HBB in facilitating pre-operative cervical priming.

OBJECTIVE: The authors present a surgical film for vulvar cancer surgery, which was performed via video endoscopy. METHODS: An 88-yearold woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva and who underwent radical vulvectomy was treated with sentinel lymph node (SLN) and bilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy, which is preferably performed via video endoscopic surgery with a near-infrared fluorescence video endoscopy system. SLN mapping was performed using indocyanine green and near-infrared fluorescence mapping. RESULTS: SLNs were detected in the left superficial inguinal area. The surgeons performed bilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy. CONCLUSION: No postoperative early or late complications developed, and the patient was discharged 7 days after surgery. Stage 1B vulvar cancer was identified.
RESUMO
Pelvic exenteration is a highly morbid operation and remains one of the most catastrophic surgical procedures in gynecological oncology. We would like to present the case of total pelvic exenteration for vaginal cancer after radiotherapy for endometrial cancer as a secondary cancer. A 62-year-old woman, whose gravida: 3, parity: 2, body mass index: 35.9 kg/m², presented with complaints of vaginal bleeding. She had undergone a surgery because of a stage IB grade 2 endometrioid-type adenocarcinoma seventeen years previously. Following the surgery, she had external pelvic radiotherapy and brachytherapy. A palpable, solid and ulcerative mass was detected extending from the vaginal cuff area to the vestibulum vagina on the left postero-lateral wall of the vagina. The 5-cm vaginal mass was seen at vaginal examination. A punch biopsy from a pathological examination of the tumoral lesion was reported as a squamous cell carcinoma. Pelvic exenteration was performed and ileo-perineal fistula occurred after six months this surgery. In conclusion, we considered that this malignancy was a secondary malignancy induced by radiotherapy.

This study aimed to examine whether the menstrual cycles of women with regular cycles have been affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. This cross-sectional online survey study evaluated the menstrual cycle characteristics of women in the reproductive phase of their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. Changes before and after COVID-19 were evaluated with a paired sample t-test and chi-square test. A Pearson correlation test was used to show the relationships between variables. The study was completed with 263 participants in total. The average age of the participants was 26.3 ± 6.9 (18-45). Participants' duration of period (p = .003) and pads used per day (p = .002) decreased compared to their experience before the COVID-19 outbreak. The mean total MSQ score was 3.1 ± 0.8 (0-4), mean STAI-1 score was 45.1 ± 9 (20-78) and mean STAI-II score was 43.3 ± 5.9 (30-69). It was found that STAI-I and STAI-II scores showed a positive correlation with MSQ-Somatic subgroup scores(r = 0.153, p = .013; 0.190, p = .002) and MSQ-Total scores (0.144, p = .020; 0.175, p = .004). With the COVID-19 pandemic, increased anxiety scores increased women's menstrual symptoms while the length of periods and the number of pads used decreased.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? The COVID 19 pandemic, has caused enormous psychological distress potentially resulting in the development of posttraumatic stress disorder. The menstrual cycle is a process that can be affected by psychological stress.What do the results of this study add? This is the first study to examine the relationship between stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the menstrual cycle. The increases in the degree of anxiety and stress as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak was found to be high enough to affect the characteristics of the menstrual cycle in the women surveyed.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? In a prospective study intended to be carried out after the outbreak ends in the future, it will be possible to evaluate whether the menstrual cycle parameters return to their former order and consequently this hypothesis will be able to be more definitively confirmed.

OBJECTIVES: Here, we compare the success of percutaneous transcatheter sclerosant alcohol therapy (PTSAT) for the postoperative treatment of benign pelvic cysts that occurred after gynecologic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study is a retrospective case-control trial. Gynecological patients who had symptoms due to postoperative pelvic cysts and received PTSAT after gynecologic surgery, between October 2008 and January 2018, were examined in a single training and research hospital in Turkey. Some factors were investigated for associations with postoperative pelvic cyst formation in patients who underwent gynecologic operations for malignancies or benign conditions. Statistical analysis used: The association between two independent and nonnormally distributed continuous variables was analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U-test. Spearman's rho correlation analysis was conducted to determine the correlation of two nonnormally distributed variables. Chi-square (or Fisher's exact test, when more suitable) was used to examine the correlation between categorical variables. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found in terms of the average age was higher in patients with malignancies, and the average postoperative pelvic cyst detection time was higher in patients with benign pelvic cysts. While all patients were treated with PTSAT, repetitive PTSAT was required for seven benign and ten malign cases. CONCLUSION: Patients with pelvic cysts that occurred after gynecologic surgery for malignant conditions, large volume pelvic cysts and patients with benign cysts who underwent more than one surgery required recurrent PTSAT.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to determine whether celiac disease affects ovarian reserve assessed by antral follicle counting, ovarian volume, and anti-müllerian hormone in adolescent patients. METHODS: This case-control multicenter trial was performed from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018 and included 45 girls. On days 2-5 of the menstrual cycle, measurements of serum follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, prolactin, and anti-müllerian hormone were performed. Antral follicle counts and ovarian volumes were determined on the same day. RESULTS: Evaluation was made of 21 (47.7%) celiac patients with a mean age of 15.8 ± 1.3 years, and 24 (52.3%) healthy control subjects with a mean age of 16.2 ± 1.2. There was no difference between the groups in respect of right and left ovarian volumes (p = 0.790 and p = 0.670, respectively). Serum levels of anti-müllerian hormone of the celiac patients and controls were found comparable [(3.7 ± 2.9 (0.5-12) and 3.6 ± 1.8 (1.2-8.1)] ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.915). CONCLUSIONS: Celiac disease may not affect the ovarian reserve determined with established ovarian reserve markers including antral follicle counting, ovarian volume, and anti-müllerian hormone in adolescent patients.

OBJECTIVE: Colposcopic biopsy is a discomfortable procedure. Additionally, it creates negative influence on sexuality. This study aimed to investigate the relationships among tenaculum, pain perception, and biopsy size during colposcopy. METHODS: In total, 228 patients who underwent colposcopy-directed biopsy were included, and randomized into 4 groups based on whether analgesic and tenaculum were used and replaced (tenaculum with n=58/without analgesic n=56, no tenaculum replacement with n=57/without analgesic n=57). Lidocaine hydrochloride (40 mg) plus adrenaline (0.025 mg) was administered in the analgesic groups. The pain was assessed using a linear visual analog scale. The biopsy specimen size was measured in millimeters. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 42.85±8.88 years. The most frequent colposcopy indications were atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance and human papilloma virus-positive results on cervical cytology (30.2%; n=69). Low- and high-grade intraepithelial lesions were noted in 14.91% (n=34) and 10.96% (n=25) women through colposcopy-directed biopsy results, respectively. Tenaculum replacement increased pain perception in the without analgesic group; however, no statistically significant differences were noted between of the groups with and without tenaculum replacement with analgesic. The size and number of biopsy specimens were not associated with tenaculum replacement and analgesic use. CONCLUSION: Administration of analgesics decreased discomfort and pain in patients. Tenaculum replacement aided colposcopists in manipulating the cervix. Additionally, administration of analgesics relieved pain in the tenaculum replacement group. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03279666.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: We investigate how concurrent high-risk (hr) HPV (human papillomavirus) genotypes affect CIN2-3 risk and evaluate the relationship of different genotype combinations with cervical epithelial lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study included HPV positive patients between the ages of 30 and 60 who underwent liquid-based cervical smears and HPV screening through community-based, cervical cancer screening programs between June 2015 and June 2017. The impact of the increase in hrHPV types was calculated by estimating how it changed the odds ratio of CIN2-3 risk. RESULTS: The rate of multiple concurrent HPV infections was 48.7% in the CIN2-3 group and 58.4% in the CIN1 group. Among patients in the CIN2-3 and CIN1 groups, the most common HPV coinfection was respectively HPV 16+31 and HPV 16+51. The HPV 51 ratio in CIN1 patients was 28.9% and the HPV 51 ratio in the CIN2-3 patient was 6.6%. With every increase in the number of hrHPV infection types, the frequency of CIN2-3 decreased [OR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.54-0.95]. For all hrHPV combinations, the addition of HPV 16 was associated with a higher risk of CIN2-3. CONCLUSIONS: An increase in number of hrHPV types is associated with lower CIN2-3 risk. Further cohort studies with larger samples are needed to clarify this relationship. The available evidence suggests that HPV 16 genotype plays an important role in patients with high-grade cervical lesions and has a negative impact on the cervix in concurrent multiple HPV infections.

OBJECTIVES: This study compared the effects of patient-controlled epidural and intravenous analgesia on acute and chronic postoperative pain in patients who were operated on for gynecological malignancy. METHODS: Postoperatively, patient-controlled analgesia was administered via epidural route to Group 1 and the intravenous route to Group 2. Pain was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in the acute phase at postoperative 24 hours and at 6 months in the chronic phase. RESULTS: The VAS scores at 24 hours were lower in Group 1 than in Group 2 (3.29 vs 3.93; p<0.05). The VAS scores at 6 months were 2.03 in Group 1 and 2.53 in Group 2, indicating no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs pain scale scores at 6 months (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: The results showed that epidural and intravenous analgesia had a similar effect regarding the chronicity of pain but better outcomes were achieved with epidural analgesia in the acute stage.

There is scarcity of data about the long-term results such as port-site hernia, body image scale and cosmesis scale outcomes between laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery and conventional multiport laparoscopy (CMPL) for hysterectomy. Eighty women, who underwent total hysterectomy by the LESS (n = 40) and CMPL (n = 40) technique due to benign and malign gynecological disorders, were evaluated with a cosmesis and body image questionnaire in an age-matched cohort study.Median follow-up time was 25 (6-30) months in both groups. The mean age of the patients was 49.3 ± 6.3 years. The mean body image scale scores were 5.3 ± 0.6 and 5.5 ± 1.2 in the LESS and CMPL groups, respectively (p = 0.268). The mean cosmesis and scar scale scores were significantly higher in the LESS group compared to the CMPL group (p = .011 and p < .001, respectively). Port-site hernia was detected in two patients in the LESS group, but not in the CMPL group. There was no cuff dehiscence in the LESS nor in the CMPL group. The LESS technique provides better cosmesis when compared with the CMPL technique. The body image perceptions in the two groups were similar. Women who wish to undergo the LESS surgery should be informed about the risk of incisional hernia.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? Short-term results of LESS hysterectomy such as complication rates, additional port requirement, conversion to CMPL or laparotomy, pain score and analgesic use were evaluated in various studies. Several studies have been published on the safety and efficacy of single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH); however, it has been unclear whether single-port LH offers benefits over multiport LH regarding long-term patient satisfaction and cosmetic satisfaction.What do the results of this study add? In this prospective cohort study, we aimed to compare long-term results (at least six months) of abdominal incisional scar between LESS and CMPL surgery for hysterectomy. The LESS technique provides better cosmesis when compared with the CMPL technique, although, the body image perceptions in the two groups were similar.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? LESS technique can be offered as an option for hysterectomy since it provides better long-term cosmesis compared to CMPL.

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data on whether pre-operative walking and functional capacity has a direct association with post-operative gastrointestinal function in patients who have undergone surgery to treat gynecologic cancers. OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between pre-operative walking and post-operative recovery of bowel function. METHODS: This randomized trial was performed from January 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018. All patients had a diagnosis of endometrial or ovarian cancer and were scheduled for comprehensive staging. Group A served as the control group who did not walk regularly on the last night before surgery. Patients in group B walked for 30 min at an average speed of 3 km/h from 20.00 to 20.30 and 21.30. to 22.00 on the last night before surgery under the supervision of a nurse or doctor. The study was registered with clinicaltrials.gov (no: NCT03553121). RESULTS: A total of 85 patients were enrolled: 43 patients were assigned to the walking group and 42 to the control group. There were no significant differences in demographics between the groups. Median age was 57.3±8.5 in the control and 59.9±9.1 in the walking group. In addition, 28 patients had endometrial cancer and 14 had ovarian cancer in the control group. 33 patients and 10 patients in the walking group had endometrial and ovarian cancer, respectively. The mean time to first flatus was shorter in the walking group than in the control group (32.5±10.4 vs 40.6±16.9 hours, respectively; p=0.010). In addition, the time to first defecation was significantly shorter in the walking group (62.8±26.7 vs 91.4±51.8 hours; p=0.002). Patients who walked before surgery were less likely to have post-operative paralytic ileus (25.0% vs 60.7%; p=0.003). Walking before the operative period and laparoscopic surgery independently protected against the development of post-operative paralytic ileus. CONCLUSION: Walking before surgery expedited time to bowel motility and ability to tolerate food. In addition, this method significantly decreased the risk of post-operative paralytic ileus.We consider that walking before surgery may be integrated into the pre-operative management of patients under going surgery for gynecologic cancers.
