Abstract

Our findings suggest that EC patients older than 75 years may benefit from minimally invasive surgical operation and should not be denied laparoscopy based on mere chronological age.

Predictors and Patterns of Local, Regional, and Distant Failure in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva

“…Comorbidities level was assessed by Charlson comorbidity index; Charlson comorbidity index predicts the 10-year mortality for a patient who may have a range of comorbidity conditions. 10 The taxonomy proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) was used to designate histologic subtypes. 11 The degree of glandular differentiation and cytologic atypia to determine architectural grade and stage were in accord with the new International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (FIGO) criteria.…”

Obesity and perioperative pulmonary complications in robotic gynecologic surgery

“…31 Although age should not disqualify a patient from undergoing robotic-assisted gynecological surgery, it may be a useful consideration in thorough preoperative counseling, evaluation and informed surgical consent. Additionally, because of the low rate of pulmonary complications in our population, there may be other patient risk factors for pulmonary complications that were undetected in our study.…”

Efficacy of IVF following conservative management of endometrial cancer
