RESUMO
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate postoperative surgical and non-surgical complications that occur within 30 days following myomectomy procedures, whether laparoscopic or via open surgery. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study SETTING: Del Ponte Women's and Children's Hospital, Varese, Italy. PATIENTS: Women undergoing myomectomy either with laparoscopic or open surgery from July 2020 to June 2023 INTERVENTIONS: Data of consecutive patients who underwent abdominal myomectomy procedures, either via laparoscopy or open abdominal surgery were collected. The study examined patient characteristics, size and location of fibroids, surgical data, and complications. Univariate and multivariable analyses were employed to identify factors contributing to postoperative Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ II complications. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Overall 383 patients were included in the study. The univariate analysis showed intramural fibroid type (p = .0009), large fibroid size (p = .03), and extended operative times (p = .05) were associated with postoperative complications. Open surgical approach (p <.001) and uterine cavity opening (p = .02) also contributed to complications. Postoperative anemia emerged as the most prevalent complication. In the multivariable analysis, the open surgical approach emerged as the only independent factor associated with an increased risk of grade ≥ II complications (odds ratio 7.37; p <.0001). CONCLUSION: In this study we found an increased likelihood of complications in case of open myomectomy. While the presence of potential selection bias may have impacted this finding, it could provide valuable insights for clinicians and surgical teams in the strategic planning of myomectomy procedures.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate pre-operative radiology and histopathology findings in cervical cancer lymphadenopathy detection, allowing targeted frozen section examination (FSE). DESIGN: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 203 early-stage cervical cancer patients between 2010 and 2019 in a tertiary centre. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: All patients had histologically confirmed cervical cancer and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to intraoperative FSE. The primary objectives of the study were: to determine the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative FSE in the identification of lymph node metastases (LNM) in early stage cervical cancer by correlation with final results obtained using standard histopathology techniques, and to examine different preoperative, intraoperative, demographic, radiological, and histopathological factors which could identify those at greatest risk of nodal disease and hence predict those most likely to benefit from FSE, enabling more selective and targeted use. RESULTS: 19 patients were found to have LNM (9.36%) at FSE. Patients were at increased risk of LNM by 6-fold with positive LVSI, 3-fold with MRI lymphadenopathy and 3.5-fold with MRI visible disease. The presence of lymphadenopathy on MRI and positive LVSI in combination increased the risk of LNM by 19-fold. LIMITATIONS: We acknowledge that FSE is expensive and unpredictably time intensive, exposing patients to increased surgery duration and associated risk. We also recognise that it may not be feasible for all patients. Finally, the analysis is limited by retrospective nature of the study. CONCLUSIONS: By application of the preoperative risk stratification algorithm, we may suggest that FSE can be a useful tool in high-risk patients.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate surgical outcomes and complications of hysterectomy for benign conditions other than prolapse in elderly patients and to define predictors of prolonged hospitalization. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTING: This study was conducted in an academic research center. PATIENTS: We utilized our institution surgical database to identify patients aged 60 years or more ("elderly") who underwent hysterectomy for benign conditions other than pelvic organ prolapse during a 20-year period (January 2000-December 2019). METHODS: Length of stay (LOS) of more than 2 days (90th percentile of LOS) was defined as prolonged hospitalization. Patient demographics, comorbid conditions, and surgical approach (vaginal hysterectomy (VH), laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH), and abdominal hysterectomy (AH)) were identified. Patients treated via LH or VH were also grouped as minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with prolonged LOS. RESULTS: Overall, 334 patients were included in this study, 262 (78.4%) of whom underwent LH, 42 (12.6%) VH, and 30 (9.0%) AH. Median LOS was 2 days (1-8), and 63 (18.8%) patients required prolonged LOS. Compared to AH, median hospital stay was shorter in MIS group (2 days vs. 3 days, p < 0.001). No admission variables were associated with prolonged LOS. The only independent predictors of prolonged LOS were AH (odds ratio 24.82, 95% CI 4.84-127.16) and operative time (odds ratio for 30 mins increased 11.34, 95% CI 1.63-78.78). Compared to those who underwent VH, patients having LH had a higher rate of concomitant salpingo-oophorectomy (96.6% vs. 61.9%, p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS: Retrospective single-center study design, number of patients with prolonged hospitalization, and the setting (tertiary minimally invasive gynecology referral center), which might have reduced the generalizability of our results are the limitations of this study. CONCLUSIONS: The abdominal route of hysterectomy was found as the main driver of prolonged hospitalization, reinforcing the benefits of MIS for benign hysterectomy in elderly patients with non-prolapsed uteri; the higher chance of performing concomitant salpingo-oophorectomy supports the laparoscopic approach as the first option for these patients.

OBJECTIVE: Sentinel lymph node mapping (SNM) has gained popularity in managing apparent early-stage endometrial cancer (EC). Here, we evaluated the long-term survival of three different approaches of nodal assessment. METHODS: This is a multi-institutional retrospective study evaluating long-term outcomes of EC patients having nodal assessment between 01/01/2006 and 12/31/2016. In order to reduce possible confounding factors, we applied a propensity-matched algorithm. RESULTS: Overall, 940 patients meeting inclusion criteria were included in the study, of which 174 (18.5%), 187 (19.9%), and 579 (61.6%) underwent SNM, SNM followed by backup lymphadenectomy (LND) and LND alone, respectively. Applying a propensity score matching algorithm (1:1:2) we selected 500 patients, including 125 SNM, 125 SNM/backup LND, and 250 LND. Baseline characteristics of the study population were similar between groups. The prevalence of nodal disease was 14%, 16%, and 12% in patients having SNM, SNM/backup LND and LND, respectively. Overall, 19 (7.6%) patients were diagnosed with low volume nodal disease. The survival analysis comparing the three techniques did not show statistical differences in terms of disease-free (p = 0.750) and overall survival (p = 0.899). Similarly, the type of nodal assessment did not impact survival outcomes after stratification based on uterine risk factors. CONCLUSION: Our study highlighted that SNM provides similar long-term oncologic outcomes than LND.

We present the first case of minilaparoscopic single-site bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) performed as a risk-reducing procedure in a 39-year-old woman presenting with BRCA-1 mutation. Surgery was performed using only minilaparoscopic instruments inserted alternatively through two 3-mm umbilical trocars placed one next to the other. Following the BSO, specimens were retrieved within an endobag through the posterior vaginal fornix. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. The patient was discharged home on the day of surgery. Thirty-day postoperative clinical evaluation was uneventful. In selected patients, the minilaparoscopic single-site approach might represent an alternative technique to minimize surgical trauma and morbidity in patients undergoing risk-reducing BSO.

In high income setting, the massive implementation of screening programs has reduced the incidence of cervical cancer, dramatically. However, cervical cancer still remains a major health concern, being one of the most common cause of death for cancer among women. The adoption of primary prevention through vaccination against HPV aims to reduce the prevalence of HPV-related lesions and cervical cancer. Accumulating data highlighted the cost-effectiveness of introducing HPV vaccination for adolescent and young adults. In the present review, we critically evaluated the role of vaccination against HPV, focusing much more on the role of vaccination in specific cluster of subjects (eg, post-treatment and older adults). Additionally, we evaluated the available evidence on the role of vaccination in HIV-positive subjects and in women receiving solid organs transplantation. We observed that although vaccination might be considered effective in those cluster of subjects; further evidence is needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of vaccination in these settings.

OBJECTIVE: Sentinel node mapping (SLN) has replaced lymphadenectomy for staging surgery in apparent early-stage low and intermediate risk endometrial cancer (EC). Only limited data about the adoption of SNM in high risk EC is still available. Here, we evaluate the outcomes of high-risk EC undergoing SNM (with or without back-up lymphadenectomy). METHODS: This is a multi-institutional international retrospective study, evaluating data of high-risk (FIGO grade 3 endometrioid EC with myometrial invasion >50% and non-endometrioid histology) EC patients undergoing SNM followed by back-up lymphadenectomy and SNM alone. RESULTS: Chart of consecutive 196 patients were evaluated. The study population included 83 and 113 patients with endometrioid and non-endometrioid EC, respectively. SNM alone and SNM followed by back-up lymphadenectomy were performed in 50 and 146 patients, respectively. Among patients having SNM alone, 14 (28%) were diagnosed with nodal disease. In the group of patients undergoing SNM plus back-up lymphadenectomy 34 (23.2%) were diagnosed with nodal disease via SNM. Back-up lymphadenectomy identified 2 (1%) additional patients with nodal disease (in the para-aortic area). Back-up lymphadenectomy allowed to remove adjunctive positive nodes in 16 (11%) patients. After the adoption of propensity-matched algorithm, we observed that patients undergoing SNM plus back-up lymphadenectomy experienced similar disease-free survival (p = 0.416, log-rank test) and overall survival (p = 0.940, log-rank test) than patients undergoing SLN alone. CONCLUSIONS: Although the small sample size, and the retrospective study design this study highlighted that type of nodal assessment did not impact survival outcomes in high-risk EC. Theoretically, back-up lymphadenectomy would be useful in improving the removal of positive nodes, but its therapeutic value remains controversial. Further prospective evidence is needed.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes of high-risk (HR) HPV-positive and -negative women affected by high-grade cervical dysplasia. METHODS: This is a retrospective multi-institutional study. Medical records of consecutive patients with high-grade cervical dysplasia undergoing conization between 2010 and 2014 were retrieved. All patients included had at least 5 years of follow-up. A propensity-score matching was adopted in order to reduce the presence of confounding factors between groups. Kaplan-Meir and Cox hazard models were used to estimate 5-year outcomes. RESULTS: Overall, data of 2966 women, affected by high-grade cervical dysplasia were reviewed. The study population included 1478 (85%) and 260 (15%) women affected by HR-HPV-positive and HR-HPV-negative high-grade cervical dysplasia. The prevalence of CIN2 and CIN3 among the HR-HPV-positive and -negative cohort was similar (p = 0.315). Patients with HR-HPV-positive high-grade cervical dysplasia were at higher risk of 5-year recurrence (after primary conization) that HR-HPV-negative patients (p < 0.001, log-rank test). Via multivariate analysis, HR-HPV-negative women were at low risk of recurrence (HR: 1.69 (95%CI: 1.05, 4.80); p = 0.018, Cox Hazard model). A propensity-score matched comparison was carried out in order to reduce biases that are related to the retrospective study design. In comparison to HR-HPV-negative patients, thosewith HR-HPV-positive CIN3 was associate with a 8-fold increase in the risk of recurrence (p < 0.001, log-rank test). CONCLUSIONS: HR-HPV-negative high-grade cervical dysplasia is not uncommon, accounting for 15% of our study population. Those patients experience more favorable outcomes than patients with documented HR-HPV infection(s). Further prospective studies are needed to corroborate our data.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors associated with poorer oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) for early stage cervical cancer. DESIGN: Multicenter retrospective study. SETTING: Three gynecologic oncology referral centers. PATIENTS: Patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 stage IA (positive lymphovascular space invasion)-IB1 cervical cancer between January 2006 and June 2018. INTERVENTIONS: LRH (Piver type II-III hysterectomies). Lymph-node dissection was accomplished according to the tumor characteristics. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Surgical and oncologic outcomes were analyzed. Overall, 186 patients met the inclusion criteria, 16 (8.6%) experienced a recurrence, and 9 (4.8%) died of the disease (median follow-up period 37.9 months). Surgery-related complications did not influence disease-free survival. All the recurrences (16/16; 100%) occurred in patients with stage IB1 disease (pâ¯=â¯.02), and 15 (93.7%) in cases involving tumors ≥2 cm. No association between positive lymph node and recurrence was detected (p =.82). Patients who had a preoperative diagnosis through conization (93; 50%) had a significantly lower rate of recurrence than those who underwent cervical biopsy (93; 50%): 1/93 (1.1%) vs 15/93 (16.1%); p <.001). The subanalysis of patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IB1 cervical cancer showed that patients undergoing preoperative conization (vs cervical biopsy) were less likely to experience a recurrence (odds ratio 0.09; 95% confidence interval 0.01-0.55). CONCLUSION: We confirmed that LRH was associated with a recurrence rate similar to that reported in the Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial. Tumor size ≥2 cm represents the most important risk factor influencing disease-free survival. However, we found that preoperative conization plays a potentially protective role in patients with an IB1 tumor.

The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in surgically staged stage I clear cell ovarian cancer (OCCC) is unclear. Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to evaluate the role of chemotherapy vs. observation in stage I OCCC. This systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; ID: #129628). A protocol was defined prior to the search include the population criteria, description of interventions, comparisons, and the outcomes of interest, according to the PRIMA guidelines. Overall, the study population included 5073 women. Stage I OCCC experienced a 5-year disease-free survival and a 5-year overall survival of 83.7% and 86.9%, respectively. Pooled data suggested that in the overall population adjuvant chemotherapy did not impact on 5-year disease free survival (test for overall effect, Z = 0.18; p = 0.86) and 5-year overall survival (test for overall effect, Z = 0.62; p = 0.53). Focusing on 2264 stage IC OCCC we observed that adjuvant correlated with an improvement in overall survival (OR: 0.70 (95%CI: 0.52 to 0.93); Z = 2.44; p = 0.01). In conclusion our study underlines that adjuvant chemotherapy could be reserved for patients with stage IC OCCC; while in stage IA and IB it could be safely omitted. Owing to the inherent biases of the studies included in the meta-analysis further prospective evidences are needed.

OBJECTIVE: Conization aims to remove pre-neoplastic lesions of the uterine cervix. Several techniques for conization have been compared, but evidence regarding the most effective therapeutic option is scant. Here, we aimed to compare the recurrence rate following laser conization and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in patients with high-grade cervical dysplasia (HSIL/CIN2+). METHODS: This is a retrospective multi-institutional study. Medical records of consecutive patients with HSIL/CIN2+ undergoing conization between 2010 and 2014 were retrieved. A propensity-score matching (PSM) was applied in order to reduce allocation bias. The risk of developing recurrence was estimated using Kaplan-Meir and Cox hazard models. RESULTS: Overall, 2966 patients had conization over the study period, including 567 (20%) and 2399 (80%) patients having laser conization and LEEP, respectively. Looking at predictors of recurrence, diagnosis of CIN3 (HR:3.80 (95%CI:2.01,7.21); p < 0.001) and HPV persistence (HR:1.81 (95%CI:1.11,2.96); p < 0.001) correlated with an increased risk of recurrence. After applying a PSM we selected 500 patients undergoing laser conization and 1000 undergoing LEEP. Patients undergoing LEEP were at higher risk of having positive surgical margins in comparison to patients undergoing laser conization (11.2% vs. 4.2%). The risk of having persistence of HPV was similar between the two groups (15.0% vs. 11.6%;p = 0.256). Five-year recurrence rate was 8.1% and 4% after LEEP and laser conization, respectively (p = 0.023). HPV persistence was the only factor associated with [5-]year recurrence after both laser conization (p = 0.003) and LEEP (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: HPV persistence is the only factor associated with an increased risk of recurrence after either laser conization or LEEP. Owing to the lack of data regarding obstetrical outcomes, we are not able to assess the best therapeutic option for women with cervical dysplasia.

At the beginning of 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads worldwide. Patients with ovarian cancer should be considered at high-risk of developing severe morbidity related to COVID-19. Most of them are diagnosed in advanced stages of disease, and they are fragile. Here, we evaluated the major impact of COVID-19 on patients with ovarian cancer, discussing the effect of the outbreak on medical and surgical treatment.

We investigated the correlation between glandular cells (GC) detected at preoperative cervical-smear and the histologic findings and oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for endometrial cancer (EC). We retrospectively analyzed data of all consecutive EC patients who underwent surgery between January 1, 1990 and December 31, 2012 with preoperative cervical smear performed within 3 mo from the EC diagnosis. Basic descriptive, logistic regression and artificial neural network analyses were used. Five-year disease-free survival and overall survival were assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox hazard models. The study included 229 (89%) and 29 (11%) patients with normal cytology (control group) and GC (GC group), respectively. A higher proportion of elderly patients with nonendometrioid and FIGO grade 3 EC was observed in the GC group compared with the control group (P<0.05). No differences in 5-yr disease-free survival and overall survival were observed. However, patients in the GC group experienced a higher local recurrence rate (hazard ratio: 7.6; 95% confidence interval: 1.7-34.2; P=0.008). We observed that age, body mass index, cervical stromal invasion, vaginal brachytherapy, and GC influenced the risk for developing local recurrence. However, at the multivariable analysis, only cervical stromal invasion (odds ratio: 1.2; 95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.4; P=0.02) and GC (odds ratio: 1.07; 95% confidence interval: 1.01-1.14; P=0.03) correlated with the increased risk. In addition, the results of an artificial neural network analysis reported that the most critical predictor of local failure was cervical stromal invasion (importance: 0.352) followed by GC (importance: 0.194). These results suggest that cervical stromal invasion and presence of GC at the preoperative cervical smear might predict the occurrence of local recurrence in EC.

OBJECTIVE: Recent evidence has suggested that laparoscopic radical hysterectomy is associated with an increased risk of recurrence in comparison with open abdominal radical hysterectomy. The aim of our study was to identify patterns of recurrence after laparoscopic and open abdominal radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. METHODS: This a retrospective multi-institutional study evaluating patients with recurrent cervical cancer after laparoscopic and open abdominal surgery performed between January 1990 and December 2018. Inclusion criteria were: age ≥18 years old, radical hysterectomy (type B or type C), no recurrent disease, and clinical follow-up >30 days. The primary endpoint was to evaluate patterns of first recurrence following laparoscopic and open abdominal radical hysterectomy. The secondary endpoint was to estimate the effect of the primary surgical approach (laparoscopy and open surgery) in post-recurrence survival outcomes (event-free survival and overall survival). In order to reduce possible confounding factors, we applied a propensity-matching algorithm. Survival outcomes were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier model. RESULTS: A total of 1058 patients were included in the analysis (823 underwent open abdominal radical hysterectomy and 235 patients underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy). The study included 117 (14.2%) and 35 (14.9%) patients who developed recurrent cervical cancer after open or laparoscopic surgery, respectively. Applying a propensity matched comparison (1:2), we reduced the population to 105 patients (35 vs 70 patients with recurrence after laparoscopic and open radical hysterectomy). Median follow-up time was 39.1 (range 4-221) months and 32.3 (range 4-124) months for patients undergoing open and laparoscopic surgery, respectively. Patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy had shorter progression-free survival than patients undergoing open abdominal surgery (HR 1.98, 95% CI 1.32 to 2.97; p=0.005). Patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy were more likely to develop intrapelvic recurrences (74% vs 34%; p<0.001) and peritoneal carcinomatosis (17% vs 1%; p=0.005) than patients undergoing open surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy are at higher risk of developing intrapelvic recurrences and peritoneal carcinomatosis. Further evidence is needed in order to corroborate our findings.

Introduction: In the present study, perioperative outcomes of laparoscopy (LPS) were compared to open surgery (OS) for the treatment of large adnexal masses (AM).Material and methods: Retrospective observational cohort study. Data of consecutive patients who underwent ovarian cystectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy for large AM (diameter ≥10 cm) at a referral minimally invasive gynecologic center were analyzed. Propensity score match (PSM) analysis was used to minimize covariate imbalances between the two groups.Results: Overall 330 patients, 285 (86.4%) LPSs and 45 (13.6%) OSs were included. PSM showed LPS (vs. OS) to be associated with less intraoperative blood loss (mL: 131.1 ± 52.6 vs. 545.5 ± 101.2; p = .007), shorter operative time (min: 84.8 ± 77.9 vs. 123.7 ± 70.1; p < .001), but higher rate of spillage (54.5% vs. 12.1%; p < .001). Among the LPS group, a positive correlation between AM size and both conversion to open surgery and need for mini-laparotomy was found (p < .05).Conclusions: An accurate patient selection, a dedicated workup, and an appropriate counselling are mandatory before LPS for large AM. The increased risks of intraoperative spillage associated with the minimally invasive approach should be acknowledged.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To present a large single-center series of hysterectomies for uteri ≥1 kg and to compare the laparoscopic and open abdominal approach in terms of perioperative outcomes and complications. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: An academic research center. PATIENTS: Consecutive women who underwent hysterectomy for uteri ≥1 kg between January 2000 and December 2016. Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of uterine malignancy or suspected uterine malignancy were excluded. The subjects were divided according to the intended initial surgical approach (i.e., open or laparoscopic). The 2 groups were compared in terms of intraoperative data and postoperative outcomes. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify possible independent predictors of overall complications. A subanalysis including only obese women was accomplished. INTERVENTIONS: Total laparoscopic versus abdominal hysterectomy (±bilateral adnexectomy). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Intra- and postoperative surgical outcomes. A total of 258 patients were included; 55 (21.3%) women were initially approached by open surgery and 203 (78.7%) by laparoscopy. Nine (4.4%) conversions from laparoscopic to open surgery were registered. The median operative time was longer in the laparoscopic group (120 [range, 50-360] vs 85 [range, 35-240] minutes, p = .014). The estimated blood loss (150 [range, 0-1700] vs 200 [50-3000] mL, p = .04), postoperative hemoglobin drop, and hospital stay (1 [range, 1-8] vs 3 [range, 1-8] days, p < .001) were lower among patients operated by laparoscopy. No difference was found between groups in terms of intra- and postoperative complications. However, the overall rate of complications (10.8% vs. 27.2%, p = .015) and the incidence of significant complications (defined as intraoperative adverse events or postoperative Clavien-Dindo ≥2 events, 4.4% vs 10.9%, p = .04) were significantly higher among patients who initially received open surgery. The laparoscopic approach was found to be the only independent predictor of a lower incidence of overall complications (odds ratio = 0.42; 95% confidence interval, 0.19-0.9). The overall morbidity of minimally invasive hysterectomy was lower also in the subanalysis concerning only obese patients. CONCLUSION: In experienced hands and in dedicated centers, laparoscopic hysterectomy for uteri weighing ≥1 kg is feasible and safe. Minimally invasive surgery retains its well-known advantages over open surgery even in patients with extremely enlarged uteri.

UNLABELLED: STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate perioperative outcomes and complications of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) in women with giant uteri (≥1.5 kg) compared with open abdominal hysterectomy (AH), which is considered the reference. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2). SETTING: An academic research center. PATIENTS: All consecutive women who underwent hysterectomy for uteri weighing ≥1500 g (total = 51) between 2000 and 2015 were analyzed. Twenty-seven (53%) patients had been scheduled for the laparoscopic approach (LH), whereas 24 (48%) had been scheduled for AH. INTERVENTIONS: Hysterectomy ± mono/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Perioperative details, incidence, severity, and type of complications were analyzed according to surgical approach (AH vs LH). We also evaluated the trends over time in terms of perioperative outcomes. RESULTS: AH was associated with a shorter operative time (97.5 vs 160 minutes, p = .004) compared with LH. Blood loss (200 vs 225 mL, p = .21) and the decrease in postoperative hemoglobin (-1.2 vs -1.1, p = .89) were similar between AH and LH. Intra- and postoperative complications were similar between the 2 groups; however, hospital stay was significantly shorter in the LH group (median = 3 days vs 1 day, p < .001). A significant trend toward a progressive increase in the use of the minimally invasive approach was registered through the years (p = .001). Parallel to this increase, we observed a significant reduction in terms of length of stay. Moreover, a decrease in the total number of complications, mainly because of a decrease in the rate of early minor events, was observed through the years. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience shows that LH can be considered a feasible procedure, even in cases of uteri ≥1.5 kg, with significant advantages over open surgery in terms of postoperative hospital stay.

We evaluated fertility rates, pregnancy course and maternal/neonatal outcomes following laparoscopic ureterolysis for deep endometriosis. Data about women who underwent laparoscopic excision of ureteral endometriosis were analysed. After exclusion of women who underwent hysterectomy/bilateral adnexectomy at initial surgery, and those lost-to-follow-up or with follow-up <1 year, a total of 61 patients were included. Of them, 36 (59%) wished to conceive after surgery. Twenty women became pregnant: nine (45%) of them after assisted reproductive technologies. Twenty-six pregnancies were observed with four (15.6%) miscarriages. Median gestational week at delivery was 38 weeks + 2 days (range, 33 + 1-41 + 6), with three (13.6%) and two (9%) deliveries before 37 and 34 weeks, respectively. Nine caesarean sections were performed (40.9%). Fertility rates after laparoscopic ureterolysis are comparable to those of other women operated for other forms of deep endometriosis. Apart from a higher risk of caesarean and preterm birth, the course of pregnancy and peripartum outcomes appear encouraging.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the impact on perioperative and medium-term oncologic outcomes of the implementation of laparoscopy into a preexisting oncologic setting. METHODS: Data from consecutive 736 patients undergoing surgery for apparent early stage gynecological malignancies (endometrial, cervical, and adnexal cancers) between 2000 and 2011 were reviewed. Complications were graded per the Accordion classification. Survival outcomes within the first 5 years were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Overall, 493 (67%), 162 (22%), and 81 (11%) had surgery for apparent early stage endometrial, cervical, and adnexal cancer. We assisted at an increase of the number of patients undergoing surgery via laparoscopy through the years (from 10% in the years 2000-2003 to 82% in years 2008-2011; P < 0.001 for trend); while the need to perform open surgery decreased dramatically (from 83% to 10%; P < 0.001). Vaginal approach was nearly stable over the years (from 7% to 8%; P = 0.76). A marked reduction in estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, blood transfusions as well as grade greater than or equal to 3 postoperative complications over the years was observed (P < 0.001). Surgical radicality assessed lymph nodes count was not influenced by the introduction of laparoscopic approach (P > 0.05). The introduction of laparoscopy did not adversely affect medium-term (within 5 years) survival outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for apparent early stage cancers of the endometrium, uterine cervix, and adnexa (P > 0.05 log-rank test). CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of laparoscopy into a preexisting oncologic service allows an improvement of standard of care due to a gain in perioperative results, without detriments of medium-term oncologic outcomes.
