Article Abstract
Objective: This systematic review aims at describing the prevalence of urinary and sexual symptoms among women who underwent a hysterectomy for cervical cancer.
Methods: A systematic search in six electronic databases was performed, in September 2019, by two researchers. The text search was limited to the investigation of prevalence or occurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual dysfunctions in women who underwent a hysterectomy for cervical cancer. For search strategies, specific combinations of terms were used.
Results: A total of 8 studies, published between 2010 and 2018, were included in the sample. The average age of the participants ranged from 40 to 56 years, and the dysfunctions predominantly investigated in the articles were urinary symptoms ( = 8). The rates of urinary incontinence due to radical abdominal hysterectomy ranged from 7 to 31%. The same dysfunction related to laparoscopic radical hysterectomy varied from 25 to 35% and to laparoscopic nerve sparing radical hysterectomy varied from 25 to 47%. Nocturia ranged from 13%, before treatment, to 30%, after radical hysterectomy. The prevalence rates of dyspareunia related to laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and laparoscopic nerve sparing radical hysterectomy ranged from 5 to 16% and 7 to 19% respectively. The difficulty in having orgasm was related to laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (10 to 14%) and laparoscopic nerve sparing radical hysterectomy (9 to 19%).
Conclusion: Urinary and sexual dysfunctions after radical hysterectomy to treat cervical cancer are frequent events. The main reported disorders were urinary incontinence and dyspareunia.

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.

Objective: Cervical cancer is the leading malignancy in terms of both incidence and mortality among cancers of the female reproductive system, and initial surgical treatment is still one of the main treatments. However, for many years, radical hysterectomy based on traditional anatomical principles has failed to substantially improve oncological outcomes for cervical cancer patients or reduce the incidence of perioperative complications. In recent years, radical surgery grounded in the membrane anatomy concept of embryonic development has demonstrated promising oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery.

Objective: Radical hysterectomy with parametrectomy remains the standard treatment for early-stage cervical cancer but is associated with significant morbidity. Identifying patients at low risk for parametrial invasion is critical to support less invasive surgical strategies.

Objective: Chylous ascites (CA) is a rare yet clinically significant complication following gynecologic cancer surgery, with incidence rates of 0.17 % to 9%. We aimed to describe a case of CA with a delayed clinical presentation nearly 100 days postoperatively in a patient with advanced endometrial cancer and to review the management strategies.
