Liposuction-assisted nerve-sparing extended radical hysterectomy: oncologic rationale, surgical anatomy, and feasibility study

Article Abstract:

Liposuction can be used during a hysterectomy to remove fatty tissue in the pelvis of women with cervical or endometrial cancer. This fatty tissue sometimes contains tumor cells that can cause a recurrence of the cancer. Researchers used MRI scans of cadavers to show that a traditional radical hysterectomy does not remove this fatty tissue. Liposuction did, however, and this technique was used on seven women who had a radical hysterectomy for cervical or vaginal cancer. A postoperative MRI scan revealed that the fatty tissue had been removed and tissue from one women contained metastatic cancer.

Vaginoplasty with split skin grafts from the scalp: optimization of the surgical treatment for vaginal agenesis

Article Abstract:

Doctors describe the creation of a vagina in a 16-year-old girl with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome by taking skin from her scalp. The skin is taken at the level above the hair follicles so both skin and hair can grow back. The scalp is a good area to take skin from because it heals quickly and does not leave a visible scar. Girls with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome do not have a vagina.

Laterally extended endopelvic resection: surgical treatment of infrailiac pelvic wall recurrences of gynecologic malignancies

Article Abstract:

A surgeon describes a technique called laterally extended endopelvic resection for treating recurring gynecologic cancer. When gynecological cancer recurs on the inside of the pelvis, it is considered inoperable. Over a three-year period, 18 women with recurring gynecologic cancer were treated with the surgical technique. All or most of the tumor was removed.
