Comparative analyses of postoperative complications and prognosis of different surgical procedures in stage II endometrial carcinoma treatment

Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of surgical resection extent on the postoperative complications and the prognosis in patients with stage II endometrial cancer.MethodsA total of 54 patients were retrospectively reviewed, 35 patients underwent subradical hysterectomy and 19 patients received radical hysterectomy, both with simultaneous bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy.ResultsComparing the surgical outcomes in subradical hysterectomy group vs radical hysterectomy group, there were no significant differences in operative time, estimated blood loss, and hospital stay. After surgery, 37.1% vs 36.8% patients received postoperative radiotherapy in the subradical hysterectomy group vs radical hysterectomy group, without statistically significant difference. As for postoperative complications, the early postoperative complication rate in patients who underwent subradical hysterectomy was 14.3%, significantly lower than that in patients submitted to radical hysterectomy (14.3% vs 42.1%), with P=0.043. However, there was no significant difference in late postoperative complication rate between the two surgical procedures. Regarding the clinical prognosis, patients receiving the subradical hysterectomy showed similar survival to their counterparts undergoing the radical procedures. The relapse rate was 5.71% vs 5.26%, respectively, without significant difference. There were no deaths in both surgical groups.ConclusionFor stage II endometrial carcinoma, subradical hysterectomy presented with less early postoperative complications and similar survival duration and recurrence compared with radical hysterectomy and should be advocated in clinical treatment.

Lymphatic cysts after gynecological cancer surgery: risk factors, diagnosis and treatment

“…Такие лимфатические скопления могут регрессировать самостоятельно [11]. Продолжающийся рост лимфатической кисты способствует формированию ряда осложнений: боли в нижних отделах живота, дизурических явлений, отеков наружных половых органов, мягких тканей лона и нижних конечностей [12]. При сдавлении окружающих анатомических структур могут развиваться тонкокишечная непроходимость, гидронефроз, гидроуретер, тромбозы вен нижних конечностей и тромбоэмболии легочной артерии как их следствие [13].…”
