BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with an extremely poor prognosis, and its high postoperative recurrence rate is a major challenge affecting long-term patient survival. Accurately predicting individuali…

BACKGROUND: While chemotherapy is central to gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) management, concerns over toxicity and resistance have renewed interest in hysterectomy. This study evaluated outcomes of patients treated with hysterectom…

BACKGROUND: Colonic involvement due to endometriosis is a rare condition with a nonspecific clinical presentation. In rare instances, it may undergo malignant transformation, mimicking primary colorectal carcinoma and complicating clinical …

OBJECTIVE: With the rising frequency and earlier onset of endometrial cancer (EC), improved surgical skills have emerged as a priority. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness and safety of transumbilical laparoendosc…

BACKGROUND: Robotic Peritoneal Mesometrial Resection and Targeted Compartmental Lymphadenectomy (PMMR + TCL) is a procedure following Cancer Field Surgery concept for endometrial cancer (EC), enabling superior locoregional control without a…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of occult endometrial carcinoma in patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) post-hysterectomy and identify pre-hysterectomy risk factors predictive of occult carcinoma. METHODS: This…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis of the abdominal wall is exceptionally rare, with malignant transformation to clear cell carcinoma being of even greater rarity. In this paper, the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment is emph…

BACKGROUND: The IBS® Tissue Removal Device, as a new technology, currently lacks a systematic evaluation of its effectiveness in treating endometrial polyps. Furthermore, the exact cause of polyps recurrence is not yet clear. The purpose of…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the use of new lithotomy stirrups-2 on the pressure dispersal on lower limbs, which may lead to the prevention of well-leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT…

BACKGROUND/AIM: This study investigated the clinicopathological characteristics and treatment of appendix neuroendocrine neoplasms in appendectomy specimens of our center. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinicopathological data, including age,…

OBJECTIVE: Systematic evaluation of the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) versus laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science database were searched by…

BACKGROUND: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are characterized by their abundant mucin production and malignant potential. IPMNs of the pancreas are mainly managed according to their radiographic indications, but this approa…

BACKGROUND: Malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis is extremely rare. Clear cell carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma are the two most prevalent histological subtypes of malignant endometriosis. To date, approximately, thi…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is one of the most lethal types of ovarian cancer. Early-stage OCCC can be cured by surgery; however, advanced-stage disease shows poor prognosis due to chemoresistance unlike the more common …

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to analyze the clinical and pathological features of extrauterine endometrial stromal sarcoma (EESS) and explore an effective therapeutic regimen to reduce the recurrence rate in low-grade EESS patients. METHOD…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to explore the rate of upstaging after complete surgical staging among patients with apparent FIGO stage I ovarian mucinous carcinoma. METHODS: Ovarian mucinous carcinoma patients with surgical treatmen…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and clinical usefulness of early oral feeding (EOF) after rectosigmoid resection with anastomosis for the treatment of primary ovarian cancer. METHODS: We performed a retrospe…

BACKGROUND: X inactivation-specific transcript (XIST) is the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) related to cancer, which is involved in the development and progression of various types of tumor. However, up to now, the exact role and molecular me…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis can potentially lead to the development of a malignant tumor. Most malignant tumors arising from the endometriosis originate from the ovarian endometrioma, whereas those arising from extragonadal lesions are rare. …

INTRODUCTION: Renal hemangioblastoma (RH) is a very rare benign tumour. Hemangioblastoma most commonly occurs in the central nervous system (CNS), and only few cases of RH have been reported as they occur most commonly as asymptomatic masse…

BACKGROUND: Tubal choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare but highly malignant trophoblastic tumor, which may be either gestational or non-gestational in origin. Due to atypical clinical manifestations and symptoms similar to ectopic pregnancy…

BACKGROUND: Endometrioid ovarian carcinoma and clear cell ovarian carcinoma are both classified as endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs). Despite the high rates of recurrence and mortality of EAOC, only a few prognostic biomarker…

BACKGROUND: Malignant transformation of endometriosis in the rectovaginal septum is rare and usually misdiagnosed as a colorectal or gynecological tumor. We report a rare case of primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septu…

BACKGROUND: Dedifferentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma (DEAC) is rare and is known to be more aggressive than high-grade endometrioid carcinoma. Differentiating between the two is important to provide appropriate treatment for patients. …

BACKGROUND: A distended, mucous-filled appendix is known as an appendiceal mucocele. They are a rare form of an appendiceal mass and develop from both benign and malignant processes. Mucoceles can develop secondarily to an obstruction, such…
