[Early postoperative complications in a multidisciplinary surgical center exclusively dedicated to endometriosis: A 491-patients series]. / Complications postopératoires immédiates dans un centre chirurgical multidisciplinaire exclusivement dédié à l'endométriose : une série de 491 patientes.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study is to present the activity volume and postoperative complications in a center exclusively destined to endometriosis surgery. METHODS: Retrospective mono-centric study analyzing data collected prospectively in patients surgically managed for endometriosis from September 2018 to August 2019. RESULTS: Four hundred and ninety-one patients underwent surgery for endometriosis during 12 consecutive months: 268 for colorectal localizations (54.6%), 51 for endometriosis of the urinary tract (10.4%), 17 for nodules of ileum and right colon (3.5%), 43 for nodules of parametriums (8.8%), 12 for nodules of sacral roots and sciatic nerves (2.4%), 7 for diaphragmatic localizations (1.4%). Among 268 patients with colorectal endometrioses, of which 48.1% concerned the low and mid rectum, shaving was performed in 102 cases, disc excision in 96 cases and colorectal resection in 100 cases. Stoma was performed in 13.1% of the cases. Patients could have 2 different procedures for multiple colorectal nodules. One hundred and ninety-nine ovarian endometriomas were managed by plasma energy ablation in 64.8%, sclerotherapy in 11.1%, cystectomy in 13.1%, oophorectomy in 11.1%. Major postoperative complications included 12 rectovaginal fistulas, while 18 other surgical procedures were carried out for various complications. In all, 38.1% of procedures involved a general surgeon and 5.3% an urologist. CONCLUSION: The creation of centers exclusively destined to endometriosis surgery allows the multidisciplinary management of a high number of patients, with an over-representation of severe forms and rare locations of the disease, followed by satisfactory complication rates.

Influence du score de Gleason des marges chirurgicales de prostatectomie totale sur la récidive biologique.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the aggressiveness of cancer cells at the level of positive surgical margins (PSM) on the biochemical recurrence rate (BRR) by studying the Gleason score (GS) at this level. METHODS: We included all radical prostatectomy (RP) procedures performed from January 2007 to November 2011. All of the RP specimens with PSM were reviewed to determine the GS at the level of PSM. We compared the GS at PSM with BRR. RESULTS: A total of 658 RP were analysed, among which 16% had PSM. From the 101 patients with PSM included, 32% had biochemical recurrence (BR) with a median follow-up of 38 months. GS at PSM was significantly associated with earlier BR (P=0.008). Univariate analysis showed that GS at PSM (P=0.013), initial PSA (P<0.0001), pathologic GS (P<0.001), length of PSM (P=0.013), and seminal vesicle invasion (P<0.0001) were predictors of BR. Multivariate analysis confirmed that PSA greater than 10ng/mL and length of PSM greater than 3mm were independent prognostic factors for BR, but GS at the level of PSM was not. CONCLUSION: GS at PSM was not confirmed as an independent risk factor for BR. Initial PSA greater than 10ng/mL and length of PSM greater than 3mm were the sole independent predictors for BR. LEVEL OF PROOF: 4.
