RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To provide a comprehensive, step-by-step presentation of the laparoscopic resolution of ectopic pregnancy within a rudimentary uterine horn. DESIGN: A detailed demonstration of the laparoscopic technique presented through narrated video footage. SETTING: Pregnancy occurring in the rudimentary horn of a unicornuate uterus represents a rare form of ectopic pregnancy [1]. This condition is associated with a high risk of uterine rupture. Early detection is crucial for effective management and prevention of potential complications [2,3]. In this manuscript, we present a case study of a patient diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy in a rudimentary horn, who underwent successful laparoscopic resection. INTERVENTIONS: Ten main steps were identified and described in detail during the laparoscopic resection: Step 1: identification of the anatomy; Step 2: uterine mobilization; Step 3: Open retroperitoneum; Step 4: Coagulation and section of left round ligament; Step 5: Bladder dissection; Step 6: Identification of vessels; Step 7: Coagulation and section of left utero-ovarian vessels; Step 8: Coagulation and section of uterine vessels; Step 9: Section of uterine septum; Step 10: Specimen removed. CONCLUSION: This publication offers a detailed and instructive account of the laparoscopic resection of ectopic pregnancy within a rudimentary uterine horn. The stepwise approach demonstrated in the accompanying video contributes to a deeper understanding of this complex surgical technique. VIDEO ABSTRACT.

Introduction: Endometrial cancer is the second most frequent gynecological tumor in Argentina, representing 6% of all cancers in women. The objective of this study is to evaluate the oncological and perioperative results in patients with high-risk endometrial cancer (HREC) limited to the uterus, treated at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, between January 2010-2018. Methods: Retrospective cohort study that evaluated perioperative results, disease-free survival at 2, 4 years in patients with HREC. Results: Of a total of 123 patients, 74 met the inclusion criteria. Serous tumors were the most frequent histological type, n=38 (51%), while dedifferentiated tumors were the least frequent, n=2 (3%). Of all the patients included, 56 (76%) received at least one adjuvant treatment. Taxol platinum-based chemotherapy was implemented in 28 patients (38%), while 24 (33%) received a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The median follow-up time was 2.9 years. Disease-free survival in patients with stage IA at 2 and 4 years was 71% (95% CI 55-82) and 63% (CI 46-76), respectively, while those with stage IB were 53 (95% CI 33-70) and 38 (95% CI 19-58). Regarding the surgical approach, no significant differences were found in disease-free or overall survival when comparing the laparoscopic with the laparotomy approach (p=0.06). Conclusion: Only the FIGO stage showed an increased probability of death or relapse regardless of the type of adjuvant treatment and the type of surgery approach. Perioperative complications were similar in both approaches.
Introducción: En Argentina el cáncer de endometrio es el segundo tumor ginecológico más frecuente, representando el 6% de todos los cánceres en mujeres. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar los resultados oncológicos y perioperatorios, en pacientes con cáncer de endometrio de alto riesgo (CEAR) limitados al útero tratadas en el Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires entre enero 2010-2018. Métodos: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que evaluó los resultados perioperatorios, la supervivencia libre de enfermedad a los 2, 4 años en pacientes con CEAR. Resultados: 74 pacientes cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Los tumores serosos fueron los más frecuente n=38 (51%), mientras que los desdiferenciados, los de menor frecuencia, n=2 (3%). 56 (76%) pacientes recibieron al menos un tratamiento adyuvante. El tratamiento sistémico fue implementado en 28 pacientes (38%), mientras que 24 (33%) recibieron una combinación de quimioterapia y radioterapia. La mediana de seguimiento fue de 2,9 años. La supervivencia libre de enfermedad, en pacientes con estadio IA a los 2 y 4 años fue de 71% (IC 95% 55-82) y 63 % (IC 46 -76) respectivamente, mientras que aquellas que presentaban un estadio IB fue de 53 (IC 95% 33-70) y 38 (IC 95% 19-58). En cuanto a la vía quirúrgica de abordaje, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en la supervivencia libre de enfermedad ni en las complicaciones perioperatorias. Conclusión: Sólo el estadio FIGO mostró un aumento en la probabilidad de muerte o recaída independientemente del tipo de tratamiento adyuvante realizado y de la vía de abordaje seleccionada.

Objective: To report the surgical, oncological, and obstetrical outcomes of the different surgical techniques used for the fertility-sparing treatment of patients with early-stage cervical cancer. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all fertility-sparing procedures performed between 2004 and 2020. The study included patients desiring to preserve fertility who had squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and adenosquamous carcinoma histology, all grades, and FIGO 2009 stage IA2-IB1 tumors. Results: 48 patients met the inclusion criteria. Eight patients (16.7%) had stage IA2, and 40 (83.3%) had stage IB1 tumors. Conization with pelvic lymph node assessment was performed in 5 (10.4%) patients, an open radical trachelectomy in 21 (43.8%), and a laparoscopic radical trachelectomy in 22 (45.8%). No major intraoperative complications were registered. Two patients required surgery due to an early postoperative complication. Late postoperative complications were seen in 15 patients (31.2%), with cervical stenosis being the most frequent (60%). The rate of DFS at 2 and 5 years was 89% (95% CI, 76-95%), and the 5- year OS was 96% (95% CI, 83-98%). Univariate analysis demonstrated a relationship between tumor size and recurrence, but not for other prognostic tumor factors or surgical approach. One patient (4.8%) developed recurrent disease in the open radical trachelectomy group, and five (22.7%) in the laparoscopic radical trachelectomy group. The pregnancy rate was 41.4%, and the live birth rate 88.2%. Conclusion: Fertility-sparing treatment for patients with early-stage cervical cancer is ever-evolving. This study adds information to the literature about the outcomes of these quite uncommon procedures, and allows a critical analysis of many of the topics which are under discussion.

Ovarian cancer represents the third gynecological cancer in frequency in Argentina. There is a lack of information on this pathology in our country regarding the treatment and evolution of patients who suffer it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perioperative and oncological results in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian tumor. We present a retrospective cohort in which we evaluated disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with epithelial ovarian tumor treated at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires between June 2009 and June 2017. Of 170 patients included in the study, 72 (42.4%) received primary debulking surgery (CCP), while 98 (57.6%) received neoadjuvant therapy and interval surgery (CI). The optimal cyto-reduction rate was 75% and 79% respectively. No differences were found in perioperative outcomes, or in severe complications between the two groups. The median disease-free survival in the CCP group was 2.5 years (95% CI 1.6-3.1) while in the CI group it was 1.4 (95% CI 1.2-1.7) p < 0.001. The median overall survival was 5.8 years in CPP, and 3.5 years in CI. Faced with a meticulous selection by a group of experts, patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with CCP present better oncological results than those who received neoadjuvant therapy and CI.
El cáncer de ovario ocupa el tercer lugar en frecuencia entre los cánceres ginecológicos en Argentina. Existe un déficit de información de esta enfermedad en nuestro país respecto al tratamiento y evolución oncológica de las pacientes. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue evaluar los resultados perioperatorios y oncológicos, en pacientes con tumor epitelial de ovario con estadios avanzados. Presentamos una cohorte retrospectiva en la que se evaluó la supervivencia libre de enfermedad y la supervivencia global en pacientes con tumores epiteliales de ovario tratadas en el Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires entre junio del 2009 a junio del 2017. De 170 pacientes incluidas en el estudio, 72 (42.4%) fueron tratadas con una cirugía de citorreducción primaria (CCP), mientras que 98 (57.6%) recibieron neoadyuvancia y luego cirugía del intervalo (CI). La tasa de citorreducción óptima fue de 75% y de 79% respectivamente. No se encontraron diferencias en los resultados perioperatorios, ni en las complicaciones graves entre ambos grupos. La mediana de SLE en el grupo de CCP fue de 2.5 años (IC 95% 1.6-3.1) mientras que en el grupo de CI fue de 1.4 (IC 95% 1.2-1.7) p < 0.001. La mediana de supervivencia global fue de 5.8 años en CCP, y de 3.5 años en CI. En pacientes adecuadamente seleccionadas la CCP presenta mejores resultados oncológicos a la neoadyuvancia y CI. La selección correcta de las pacientes para tratamiento primario es fundamental para definir la conducta terapéutica.

INTRODUCTION: Recent evidence has shown adverse oncological outcomes when minimally invasive surgery is used in early-stage cervical cancer. The objective of this study was to compare disease-free survival in patients that had undergone radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy, either by laparoscopy or laparotomy. METHODS: We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of patients with cervical cancer stage IA1 with lymph-vascular invasion, IA2, and IB1 (FIGO 2009 classification), between January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2017, at seven cancer centers from six countries. We included squamous, adenocarcinoma, and adenosquamous histologies. We used an inverse probability of treatment weighting based on propensity score to construct a weighted cohort of women, including predictor variables selected a priori with the possibility of confounding the relationship between the surgical approach and survival. We estimated the HR for all-cause mortality after radical hysterectomy with weighted Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS: A total of 1379 patients were included in the final analysis, with 681 (49.4%) operated by laparoscopy and 698 (50.6%) by laparotomy. There were no differences regarding the surgical approach in the rates of positive vaginal margins, deep stromal invasion, and lymphovascular space invasion. Median follow-up was 52.1 months (range, 0.8-201.2) in the laparoscopic group and 52.6 months (range, 0.4-166.6) in the laparotomy group. Women who underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy had a lower rate of disease-free survival compared with the laparotomy group (4-year rate, 88.7% vs 93.0%; HR for recurrence or death from cervical cancer 1.64; 95% CI 1.09-2.46; P=0.02). In sensitivity analyzes, after adjustment for adjuvant treatment, radical hysterectomy by laparoscopy compared with laparotomy was associated with increased hazards of recurrence or death from cervical cancer (HR 1.7; 95% CI 1.13 to 2.57; P=0.01) and death for any cause (HR 2.14; 95% CI 1.05-4.37; P=0.03). CONCLUSION: In this retrospective multicenter study, laparoscopy was associated with worse disease-free survival, compared to laparotomy.

OBJECTIVE: There is significant debate between up-front radical trachelectomy versus neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before fertility-sparing surgery in patients with tumors ≥2 cm. The aim of this study was to report on the oncological and obstetrical outcome of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by fertility-sparing surgery, in patients diagnosed with cervical cancer ≥2 cm. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer measuring ≥2 cm to ≤6 cm, who were scheduled to undergo neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before fertility-sparing surgery, at six institutions from four Latin American countries between February 2009 and February 2019. Data collected included: age, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage, histology, tumor size, pre-treatment imaging work-up, chemotherapy agents and number of cycles, toxicity, clinical and imaging response rate, type of fertility-sparing surgery, pathology results, timing of lymphadenectomy, follow-up time, and obstetrical and oncological outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 25 patients were included, with a median age of 27 years (range 20-37): 17 patients had stage IB1, 7 had stage IB2 cervical cancer, and 1 patient had stage IIA1 (FIGO 2009); 23 patients had squamous cell carcinoma and 2 patients had adenocarcinoma. The median number of chemotherapy cycles was 3 (range 3-6) and no toxicity grade 3-4 was reported. Lymphadenectomy was performed before chemotherapy in 6 (24%) patients. After neo-adjuvant chemotherapy 20 patients were scheduled for radical trachelectomy (11 abdominal and 9 laparoscopic) and 5 patients for conization. After surgery, no residual disease was found in 11 patients (44%). Fertility was preserved in 23 patients (92%) and 10 patients became pregnant (43.5%). After a median follow-up time of 47 months (13-133), 3 patients had recurrent disease (3/23=13%), 2 were alive without disease, and 1 patient had disease at last contact. CONCLUSION: Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by fertility-sparing surgery is feasible in well selected patients with cervical tumors ≥2 cm. Future studies should focus on the timing of lymphadenectomy and type of cervical surgery.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Leiomyomas of the urinary bladder are rare tumors. Submucosal leiomyomas, when small and easily accessible, can be treated with transurethral resection, while unfavorably positioned or larger leiomyomas may be treated through an abdominal approach. In these cases, a laparoscopic approach for intravesical surgery is an alternative that may be considered. We aim to demonstrate a novel transvesical laparoscopic approach to bladder leiomyoma excision with a video. METHODS: A 45-year-old woman with urinary symptoms and a 40-mm submucosal bladder leiomyoma located at the interureteric ridge was referred to our hospital (tertiary referral hospital). Due to the location and size of the leiomyoma, and to increase the probability of complete resection, a transvesical laparoscopic approach was decided. A step-by-step video is presented to describe the surgical technique. RESULTS: There were no intra- or postoperative complications. The patient was discharged 48 h after the surgery. At 60 months' follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS: Transvesical laparoscopy may be considered for excision of bladder leiomyomas. This approach is feasible for trained surgeons as it requires a small working space.

Although the incidence is uncertain, some case reports suggest that COVID 19 infection is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We suggest starting prophylactic anticoagulant therapy for all patients hospitalized with a symptomatic infection with COVID-19, unless contraindicated, with enoxaparin 40 mg SC daily if creatinine clearance is greater than 30 ml/min.
Si bien la incidencia es incierta, algunos reportes de caso sugieren que la infección por COVID 19 se asocia con un aumento del riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso. Sugerimos iniciar tromboprofilaxis a todos los pacientes hospitalizados por síntomas asociados con una infección por COVID-19, a menos que esté contraindicado, con enoxaparina 40 mg SC diariamente si el clearance de creatinina es mayor a 30 ml/min.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the acceptance rate of treatment alternatives for women with either preinvasive conditions or gynecologic cancers during the COVID-19 pandemic among Latin American gynecological cancer specialists. METHODS: Twelve experts in gynecological cancer designed an electronic survey, according to recommendations from international societies, using an online platform. The survey included 22 questions on five topics: consultation care, preinvasive cervical pathology, and cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancer. The questionnaire was distributed to 1052 specialists in 14 Latin American countries. A descriptive analysis was carried out using statistical software. RESULTS: A total of 610 responses were received, for an overall response rate of 58.0%. Respondents favored offering teleconsultation as triage for post-cancer treatment follow-up (94.6%), neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer (95.6%), and total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and defining adjuvant treatment with histopathological features in early stage endometrial cancer (85.4%). Other questions showed agreement rates of over 64%, except for review of pathology results in person and use of upfront concurrent chemoradiation for early stage cervical cancer (disagreement 56.4% and 58.9%, respectively). CONCLUSION: Latin American specialists accepted some alternative management strategies for gynecological cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may reflect the region's particularities. The COVID-19 pandemic led Latin American specialists to accept alternative management strategies for gynecological cancer care, especially regarding surgical decisions.

Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) in hospitalized adults has high morbidity and mortality, is the origin of chronic complications and increased cost for the health system. Since the publication of recommendations for thromboprophylaxis in hospitalized patients in 2013, new alternatives and strategies have emerged, which motivated us to update our recommendations. Although there are different consensus and clinical practice guidelines, adherence to them is suboptimal. The different therapeutic alternatives for hospitalized adult patients (non-surgical, surgical non-orthopedic, with and without cancer, orthopedic an d pregnant) have been updated, paying particular attention to the drugs available in Argentina.

BACKGROUND: The Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer (LACC) trial demonstrated a higher rate of disease recurrence and worse disease-free survival in patients who underwent minimally invasive radical hysterectomy. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate surgical and oncological outcome of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy performed at Hospital Italiano in Buenos Aires, Argentina. METHODS: This retrospective study included all patients with cervical cancer, 2009 FIGO stage IA1, with lymphovascular invasion to IB1 (<4 cm) who underwent a laparoscopic radical hysterectomy between June 2010 and June 2015. Patients were eligible if they had squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma, and no lymph node involvement by imaging. Patients must have undergone a type C1 radical hysterectomy. Only patients who were treated by a laparoscopic approach were included. Patients were excluded if histopathology showed a component of neuroendocrine carcinoma before or after surgery; if they had synchronous primary tumors, history of abdominal or pelvic radiotherapy, or were operated on at an outside institution; and if they had only surgery and no follow-up in our institution. Relapse rate and disease-free survival were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: A total of 108 patients were evaluated. The median age was 41 years (range 27-70). Distribution of histologic sub-types was squamous carcinoma in 77 patients (71%), adenocarcinoma in 27 patients (25%), and adenosquamous carcinoma in four patients (4%). Ninety-nine patients (92%) had stage IB1 tumors and 58 (54%) patients had tumors ≤2 cm. The median surgical time was 240 min (range 190-290), the median estimated blood loss was 140 mL (range 50-500) and the transfusion rate was 3.7%. The median length of hospital stay was 2 days (range 1-11). The median follow-up time was 39 months (range 11-83). The global recurrence rate after laparoscopic radical hysterectomy was 15% (16/108). According to tumor size, the recurrence rate was 12% in patients with tumors ≤2 cm (7/58) and 18% in patients with tumors >2 cm (9/50) (OR=0.76; 95% CI 0.26 to 2.22; p=0.62) The 3- and 5-year relapse rate was 17% (95% CI 11% to 27%). The 3- and 5-year disease-free survival was 81% (95% CI 71% to 88%) and 70% (95% CI 43% to 86%), respectively. Overall survival at 3 years was 87% (95% CI 76% to 93%). CONCLUSION: The recurrence rate after laparoscopic radical hysterectomy was 15%, and in tumors ≤2 cm it was 12%. The 3-year disease-free survival was 81%. Given these results our hospital has changed the approach to open radical hysterectomy.
