Article Abstract

To identify the role of bilateral internal iliac artery (IIA) ligation on reducing blood loss in abnormally invasive placenta (AIP) undergoing caesarean hysterectomy. In this parallel-randomized control trial, 57 pregnant females with ultrasound features suggestive of AIP were enrolled. They were randomized into two groups; IIA group ( = 29 cases) performed bilateral IIA ligation followed by caesarean hysterectomies, while Control group ( = 28 cases) underwent caesarean hysterectomy only. The main outcome was the difference in the estimated intraoperative blood loss between the two groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the intraoperative estimated blood loss (1632 ± 804 versus 1698 ± 1251, value .83). The operative procedure duration (minutes) (223 ± 66 versus 171 ± 41.4, value .001) varied significantly between the two groups. Bilateral internal iliac artery ligation, in cases of AIP undergoing caesarean hysterectomy, is not recommended for routine practice to minimize blood loss intraoperatively.

Ovarian cancer, particularly high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), remains a leading cause of mortality in gynecologic oncology. Emerging research identifies serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) as a precursor lesion in many HGSC cases, highlighting its role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis and prevention. Management of STIC is challenging, as there is only limited data available to guide clinical decision-making.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies among women aged50-54 and 55-59, to refine risk assessments and inform evidence-based counseling and perinatal management guidelines.

Methods: A nationwide registry maintained by the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology identified pregnancies between January 2013 and December 2022. Analyses included women aged 45-59 years with assisted reproductive technology pregnancies, excluding triplet or higher-order multiple gestations.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), maternal sepsis, and hemorrhagic shock remain significant contributors to maternal morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a 36-year-old female with placenta accreta and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) who developed septic shock and underwent an emergent cesarean hysterectomy at 28 weeks of gestation. Her intraoperative course was complicated by massive hemorrhage with an estimated blood loss of 40 liters, cardiac arrest, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Loma Linda University Medical Center, Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 11175 Campus Street, Coleman Pavilion, Room #11105, Loma Linda, CA 92354, United States.

Objective: The role of appendectomy in gynecologic oncology surgery has primarily been studied in mucinous ovarian pathologies. We sought to assess the safety and potential benefits of performing incidental appendectomy at time of exploratory laparotomy performed by gynecologic oncologists.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients undergoing exploratory laparotomy with the gynecologic oncology division.
