Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Many patients develop bladder symptoms after radical hysterectomy. This study compared urinary outcomes following radical hysterectomy based on trial of void (TOV) timing (pre-discharge TOV versus post-discharge TOV). METHODS A retrospective non-inferiority study of patients at two academic tertiary referral centers who underwent radical hysterectomy between January 2010 and January 2020 was carried out. Patients were stratified according to timing of postoperative TOV: either pre-discharge or post-discharge from the hospital. Short-term urinary outcomes (including passing TOV, representation with retention) and long-term de novo urinary dysfunction (defined as irritative voiding symptoms, urgency, frequency, nocturia, stress or urgency incontinence, neurogenic bladder, and/or urinary retention) were extracted from the medical record. We hypothesized that the proportion of patients who failed pre-discharge TOV would be within a 15% non-inferiority margin of post-discharge TOV. RESULTS A total of 198 patients underwent radical hysterectomy for cervical (118 out of 198; 59.6%), uterine (36 out of 198; 18.2%), and ovarian (29 out of 198; 14.6%) cancer. One hundred and nineteen patients (119 out of 198, 60.1%) underwent pre-discharge TOV, of whom 14 out of 119 (11.8%) failed. Of the post-discharge TOV patients (79 out of 198, 39.9%), 5 out of 79 (6.3%) failed. The proportion of patients who failed a pre-discharge TOV was within the non-inferiority margin (5.4% difference, p = 0.23). A greater proportion of patients in the post-discharge TOV group developed long-term de novo urinary dysfunction (27.2% difference, p = 0.005). Median time to diagnosis of de novo urinary dysfunction was 0.5 years (range 0-9) in the pre-discharge TOV group versus 1.0 year (range 0-6) in the post-discharge TOV group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In this study, pre-discharge TOV had non-inferior short-term outcomes and improved long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urination dysfunction is a common complication after surgery in patients with cervical cancer. Portable bladder ultrasound are commonly utilized in clinical practice for measuring residual urine volume. This study aimed to the effect of bladder function training combined with portable ultrasound monitoring on bladder function recovery in patients with cervical cancer after training. METHODS A total of 40 postoperative patients with cervical cancer were randomly divided into a control group (A) and an experimental group (B) of 20 cases each. Group A was given routine postoperative care, while group B was given bladder function training. Urgent urine bladder volume were taken twice daily after removal of the urinary catheter and monitored for five consecutive days. The difference of urgent urine bladder volume and bladder filling rate were compared by t-test and chi-square test respectively. The 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients before and after intervention, and compared by Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS There was no significant difference in preoperative urgent urine volume between the two groups. After catheter removal, the bladder volume of patients in the B increased, while the bladder volume of patients in the A increased less and fluctuated greatly. The bladder filling rate in the A was significantly lower than that in the B (5/15 vs 17/18, p < 0.05). After intervention, the quality of life of the experimental group was better than that of the control group, including scores of general health, mental health, vitality, and physical role (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Postoperative cervical cancer patients trained to hold urine by portable ultrasound monitoring are able to recover bladder function.

BJOG 2024. [PMID: 39010306 DOI: 10.1111/1471-0528.17910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of endometriosis excision alone to excision plus hysterectomy, with and without bilateral oophorectomy, for endometriosis-related symptoms. DESIGN Multicentre prospective cohort. SETTING Eighty-six specialist endometriosis centres. POPULATION Women undergoing rectovaginal endometriosis surgery between 2009 and 2021. METHODS We performed multivariable regression with random effects for patient and centre, controlling for age, BMI, smoking, laparoscopic versus open approach and type of bowel surgery performed, with sensitivity analysis for loss to follow-up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pain scores, bowel symptoms and quality-of-life measures. RESULTS Compared to endometriosis excision alone, women undergoing hysterectomy with conservation of ovaries had greater improvement in non-cyclical pain (MD: 1.41/10, 95% CI: 1.03-1.78, p < 0.001), dyspareunia (MD: 1.12/10, 95% CI: 0.71-1.53, p < 0.001), back pain (MD: 1.29/10, 95% CI: 0.92-1.67, p < 0.001) and quality-of-life scores (MD: 8.77/100, 95% CI: 5.79-11.75, p < 0.001) at 24 months post-operatively. Women undergoing hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy also had greater improvement in non-cyclical pelvic pain (MD: 2.22/10, 95% CI: 1.80-2.63, p < 0.001), dyspareunia (MD: 1.05/10, 95% CI: 0.59-1.52, p < 0.001), back pain (MD: 1.18/10, 95% CI: 0.77-1.59, p < 0.001) and quality of life (MD: 12.41/100, 95% CI: 9.07-15.74, p < 0.001) at 24 months compared to endometriosis excision alone. Compared to hysterectomy with ovarian conservation, hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy was associated with greater improvement in non-cyclical pelvic pain (MD: 0.81/10, 95% CI: 0.32-1.30, p = 0.001) at 24 months and quality of life (MD: 3.74/100, 95% CI: 0.56-6.92, p = 0.021) at 12 months, although this result was sensitive to loss to follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Patients who undergo endometriosis excision plus hysterectomy experience greater improvement in pain and quality of life compared to those who have endometriosis excision alone. There are additional benefits of bilateral oophorectomy with hysterectomy, although its value is less clear due to loss of follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSES This study investigates the clinical significance of the anterior parametrical invasion in surgically treated patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS We included patients diagnosed with cervical SCC with local lesions classified as T2b, who were treated at our department between January 2006 and December 2020. We evaluated the degree of anterior invasion using pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging and divided patients into three groups: partial, equivocal, and full invasion. The frequency of recurrence within 3 years (early recurrence) and overall prognosis were assessed. RESULTS There were 12, 24, and 46 cases in the partial equivocal, and full invasion groups, respectively. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy was the mainstay of treatment across all groups (7, 17, and 27 cases, respectively). Although the frequency of early recurrence tended to be worse in the full group (partial; 2/7 cases, equivocal; 3/17 cases and full; 9/27 cases), all early local recurrence cases in the full group (four cases) responded well to the subsequent treatment. As for overall survival, the full invasion group had the best prognosis among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS In surgical treatment, although full anterior invasion may increase the risk of early local recurrence, it was considered to have little prognostic impact.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The estimated worldwide incidence of cervical cancer (CC) is half a million cases per year. Surgical treatment is the mainstay approach for this condition. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of hysterectomy due to cervical cancer in urinary symptoms and sexual function and the disorder related impact on the quality of patients life. STUDY DESIGN A cohort study was performed in Fortaleza/CE (Brazil) with 71 patients; of these, 31 were diagnosed with cervical cancer (G-CCU) and 40 with gynecological benign disease (G-PB). Sexual function (FSFI questionnaire), quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire) and urinary symptoms (KHQ instrument) were investigated in both groups at baseline (T0), one month (T1) and four months after surgery (T2). RESULTS Both groups presented at baseline, similar urinary symptoms (p > 0.05), but this frequency doubled for the G-CCU group at T1 and remained unchanged at T2 (p = 0.012). G-PB's frequency of symptoms remained the same for 4 months after surgery. At baseline G-PB had higher risk for sexual dysfunction than G-CCU (82.5 % versus 54.8 %, p = 0.011). However for G-CCU, an increase of this percentage was perceived at T2.Women from the G-CCU group presented worse general and specific quality of life results. CONCLUSION Women underwent to hysterectomy due to cervical cancer presented higher percentages of urinary symptoms, higher risk for sexual dysfunction and worse general and specific quality of life scores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare perioperative morbidity, functional and quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes in patients with partial cystectomy vs radical cystectomy as part of pelvic exenteration. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of pelvic exenteration patients (1998-2021) was conducted in a single centre. Study outcomes included postoperative complications, quality-of-life, functional and stoma-related outcomes. The 36-item Short-Form Health Survey Physical and Mental Health Components, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal questionnaires and Distress Thermometer were available pre- and postoperatively. QoL outcomes were compared at the various time points. Stoma embarrassment and care scores were compared between patients with a colostomy, urostomy, and both. RESULTS Urological complications were similar between both groups, but patients with partial cystectomy experienced less wound-related complications. Overall, 34/81 (42%) partial cystectomy patients reported one or more long-term voiding complication (i.e., incontinence [17 patients], frequency [six], retention [three], high post-voiding residuals [10], permanent suprapubic catheter/indwelling catheter [14], recurrent urinary tract infection [nine], percutaneous nephrostomy [three], progression to urostomy [three]). The QoL improved following surgery in both the partial and radical cystectomy groups, differences between cohorts were not significant. Patients with two stomas reported higher embarrassment scores than patients with one stoma, although this did not result in more difficulties in stoma care. CONCLUSIONS Partial cystectomy patients have fewer postoperative wound-related complications than radical cystectomy patients, but often experience long-term voiding issues. The QoL outcomes are similar for both cohorts, with significant improvement following surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pelvic gynecological surgeries, whether for malignant or benign conditions, frequently result in functional complications due to injuries to the autonomic nervous system. Recognizing the deep uterine vein (DUV) as an essential anatomical reference can aid in preserving these structures. Despite its significance, the DUV is infrequently studied and lacks comprehensive documentation in Terminologia Anatomica. This research endeavors to elucidate a detailed characterization of the DUV. METHODS We undertook a systematic literature review aligning with the "PRISMA" guidelines, sourcing from PUBMED and EMBASE. Our comprehensive anatomical examination encompassed cadaveric dissections and radio-anatomical evaluations utilizing the Anatomage® Table. RESULTS The literary exploration revealed a consensus on the DUV's description based on both anatomical and surgical observations. It arises from the merger of cervical, vesical, and vaginal veins, coursing through the paracervix in a descending and rearward direction before culminating in the internal iliac vein. The hands-on anatomical study further delineated the DUV's associations throughout its course, highlighting its role in bifurcating the uterus's lateral aspect into two distinct zones: a superior vascular zone housing the uterine artery and ureter and an inferior nervous segment below the DUV representing the autonomic nerve pathway. CONCLUSION A profound understanding of the subperitoneal space anatomy is paramount for pelvic surgeons to mitigate postoperative complications. The DUV's intricate neurovascular interplays underscore its significance as an indispensable surgical guide for safeguarding nerves and the ureter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Cervical cancer is the major cause of cancer-related mortalities in women globally. It constitutes one of the life-threatening conditions for women in developing countries. The popularization of cervical cancer screening and the improvement of treatment levels has caused the mortality rate of cervical cancer to decrease gradually, but pelvic floor dysfunction before and after cervical cancer treatment has become prominent and attracted more and more attention. Bibliometric analysis has been carried out in this research. The main goal of this research is to provide a comprehensive insight into the knowledge structure and global research hotspots about pelvic floor dysfunction in cervical cancer. METHODS Literature related to cervical cancer and pelvic floor dysfunction as of May 2023 was searched on the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). The visualization and bibliometric analyses of the number and contents of publications were performed to analyze the temporal trends, spatial distribution, collaborative networks, influential references, keyword co-occurrence, and clustering. RESULTS There were 870 publications from 74 countries or regions, with the U.S. publications in a leading position. Since 2020, the number of publications has rapidly increased with the emphasis on the quality of life of cervical cancer patients. Although pelvic floor dysfunction in cervical cancer mainly occurs in developing countries, developed countries have made great contributions to this disease. However, in developing countries such as China and India, the quality of publications needs to be improved. In this field, the studies focused on the sexual dysfunction or urinary incontinence of cervical cancer patients, and the most cited papers discussed the effect of cervical cancer treatment on the sexual activities of females. The frontier keywords were represented by pelvic radiotherapy and risk factors. CONCLUSION This study provides an objective and comprehensive analysis of the literature available on pelvic floor dysfunction in cervical cancer and identifies future trends and current hotspots. It can provide a valuable reference for researchers in this field.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 14:83. [PMID: 38201392 PMCID: PMC10795748 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14010083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Radical hysterectomy is a central surgical procedure in gynecological oncology. A nerve-sparing approach is essential to minimize complications from iatrogenic injury to the pelvic nerves, resulting in postoperative urinary, anorectal, and sexual dysfunction. The hypogastric plexus (HP), a complex network of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, plays a critical role in pelvic autonomic innervation. This article offers a comprehensive overview of the surgical anatomy of the HP and provides a step-by-step description of HP dissection, with a particular emphasis on preserving the bladder nerve branches of the inferior HP. A thorough understanding and mastery of the anatomical and surgical nuances of HP dissection are crucial for optimizing outcomes in nerve-sparing gynecologic-oncological procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy(NSRH)has the advantage of reducing postoperative complications and improving postoperative quality of life. The separation and protection of the pelvic plexus in NSRH is extremely important and challenging. METHODS 24 female cadaveric hemipelves were dissected. Morphologic patterns and compositions of pelvic plexus as well as relationship of pelvic plexus to the surrounding structures were observed and documented. RESULTS Two patterns of superior hypogastric plexus were observed, including fenestrated and cord-like shape. The origin of bilateral hypogastric nerves were inferiorly to upper margin of promontory about 1.6 ± 0.1 cm and parallel to the ureter in front of the sacrum. Pelvic splanchnic nerves(PSN)from the second sacral nerve, the third sacral nerve and the forth sacral nerve were observed combing with the hypogastric nerves within the lateral rectal ligament. The sacral sympathetic trunk can be identified anteriorly or medially to the anterior sacral foramen. We identified the boundaries of pelvic plexus as following: the upper margin is formed by the PSNs from the third sacral nerve, posterior margin by inferior rectal artery, and anteriorly by vesical venous plexus. The uterine branches from pelvic plexus were observed accompanying with uterine artery, while other branches were inferiorly to the artery. The PSNs were located beneath the deep uterine veins within the cardinal ligament. The upper margin of pelvic plexus was observed directly approach to urinary bladder within the vesico-vaginal ligament as a single trunk accompanying with ureter, between the middle and inferior vesical veins. CONCLUSIONS Our study clarified the intricate arrangement, distribution and relationship of female pelvic plexus and the related structures to provide reference index for NSRH application. The innervation patterns of bladder and uterine were clarified, and by tracing these visceral branches of pelvic plexus, we suggest several new important land markers for NSRH.

Development of a risk nomogram predicting urinary tract infection in patients with indwelling urinary catheter after radical surgery for cervical cancer. Prog Urol 2023; 33:492-502. [PMID: 37634960 DOI: 10.1016/j.purol.2023.08.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer (CC) patients receiving indwelling catheterization after radical hysterectomy (RH) are vulnerable to urinary tract infection (UTI). However, no model or method is available to predict the risk of UTIs. Therefore, our aim was to develop and verify a risk model to predict UTI for patients receiving indwelling catheterization after radical cervical cancer surgery (ICa-RCCS). METHODS We first collected clinical information of 380 patients receiving ICa-RCCS from January 2020 to December 2021 as a training cohort to develop the risk nomogram. UTI was then evaluated using 19 UTI predictor factors. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was utilized for the extraction characteristics. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was then conducted to create the risk model for UTI prediction. The consistency coefficient and calibration curve were utilized to assess the model's fit accuracy. We performed bootstrapping with 1000 random samples for internal validation of the model, and decision curve analysis (DCA) for clinical application. RESULTS Predictors in the risk nomogram included indwelling catheterization duration, whether it is secondary indwelling catheterization, history of UTIs, age, and history of chemotherapy before surgery. The risk nomogram presented good discrimination and calibration (C-index: 0.810, 95% CI: 0.759-0.861). During interval validation, the model reached a high C-index up to 0.7930. DCA revealed the clinical utility of predictive model for UTI. Clinical benefit was initiated at the decision threshold≥3%. CONCLUSION We developed a novel UTI nomogram incorporating the age, history of chemotherapy before surgery, indwelling catheterization duration, whether it is secondary indwelling catheterization, and history of UTI to predict UTI risk for patients receiving ICa-RCCS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE B: 3a.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the pre- and postoperative changes in the recently urodynamic and quality of life (QoL) in nonmenopausal women diagnosed with cervical cancer and treated with radical hysterectomy (RH). PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight nonmenopausal women (28-49 years) with cervical carcinoma (FIGO stage Ia2-IIa) underwent a radical hysterectomy. Urodynamic studies were performed 1 week before (U0) and 3-6 months (U1) after surgery. A self-administered condition-specific QoL questionnaire (PFDI-20, PFIQ-7) was applied at U0 and U1. RESULTS Data from the urodynamics analysis performed at U1 showed that the average first sensation volume (119.39 ± 12.28 ml vs 150.43 ± 31.45 ml, P < 0.001), the residual urine volume (6.39 ± 10.44 ml vs. 42.32 ± 33.72 ml, P < 0.001), and the time of urination (46.10 ± 16.65 s vs. 74.31 ± 23.94 s, P < 0.001) were increased, while the bladder volume at a strong desire to void (448.89 ± 86.62 ml vs. 322.82 ± 50.89 ml, P < 0.001), the bladder compliance (82.63 ± 58.06 ml/cmH2O vs. 37.45 ± 28.66 ml/cmH2O, P < 0.001), the average flow rate (Qave) (23.86 ± 4.25 ml/s vs. 12.57 ± 2.37 ml/s, P < 0.001), the maximum natural flow rate (Qmax) (25.42 ± 6.46 ml/s vs. 14.43 ± 5.32 ml/s, P < 0.001), and the pressure at a peak flow rate (PdetQmax) (36.53 ± 11.20 cmH2O vs. 31.43 ± 10.56 cmH2O, P < 0.05) were decreased. At the same time, functional pelvic problems derived from prolapse (PFDI-20 scores) and their impact on the patients' Qol (PFIQ-7 score) were significantly improved at 3-6 months postoperation. CONCLUSION Radical hysterectomy results in urodynamic changes, and 3-6 months postoperation may be an important period for changes in bladder dysfunction after RH. Urodynamic and QoL analyses may provide methods for assessing symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical hysterectomy is the mainstay of treatment for early-stage cervical cancer. Urinary tract dysfunction is one of the most common complications after radical hysterectomy, and prolonged catheterization has previously been defined as a significant risk factor for catheter-associated urinary tract infections. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infections after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, and to identify additional risk factors for developing catheter-associated urinary tract infections in this population. STUDY DESIGN We reviewed patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer from 2004 to 2020 after institutional review board approval. All patients were identified from institutional Gynecologic Oncology surgical and tumor databases. The inclusion criterion was radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer. Exclusion criteria included inadequate hospital follow-up, insufficient records of catheter use in the electronic medical record, urinary tract injury, and preoperative chemoradiation. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection was defined as an infection diagnosed in a catheterized patient or within 48 hours of catheter removal, with significant bacteriuria (>103 cfu/mL) and symptoms or signs attributable to the urinary tract. Data analysis was performed using comparative analysis and univariate and multivariable logistic regression using Excel, GraphPad Prism, and IBM SPSS Statistics. RESULTS Of the 160 included patients, 12.5% developed catheter-associated urinary tract infections. In univariate analysis, catheter-associated urinary tract infection was significantly associated with current smoking history (odds ratio, 3.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.39-10.08), minimally invasive surgical approach (odds ratio, 5.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.91-16.87), estimated surgical blood loss >500 mL (odds ratio, 0.18; 95% confidence interval, 0.04-0.57), operative time >300 minutes (odds ratio, 2.92; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-9.36), and increased duration of catheterization (odds ratio, 18.46; 95% confidence interval, 3.67-336). After adjusting for interactions and controlling for potential confounders with multivariable analysis, current smoking history and catheterization for >7 days were identified as independent risk factors for development of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (adjusted odds ratio, 3.94; 95% confidence interval, 1.28-12.37; adjusted odds ratio, 19.49; 95% confidence interval, 2.78-427). CONCLUSION Preoperative smoking cessation interventions for current smokers should be implemented to decrease risk for postoperative complications, including catheter-associated urinary tract infections. In addition, catheter removal within 7 postoperative days should be encouraged in all women undergoing radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer in an effort to decrease infection risk.

Abstract
Objective To discuss the possibility of individualizing the para-tumor resection range (PRR) in cervical cancer patients based on three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction. Methods We retrospectively included 374 cervical cancer patients who underwent abdominal radical hysterectomy. Preoperative computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets were collected to get 3D models. Postoperative specimens were measured to evaluate surgical scope. Oncological outcomes of patients with different depths of stromal invasion and PRR were compared. Results A PRR of 32.35 mm was found to be the cut-off point. For the 171 patients with stromal invasion <1/2 depth, patients with a PRR over 32.35 mm had a lower risk of death and higher 5-year overall survival (OS) than that in the ≤32.35 mm group (HR = 0.110, 95% CI: 0.012-0.988, P = 0.046; OS: 98.8% vs. 86.8%, P = 0.012). No significant differences were found in 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) between the two groups (92.2% vs. 84.4%, P = 0.115). For the 178 cases with stromal invasion ≥1/2 depth, no significant differences were found in 5-year OS and DFS between groups (≤32.35 mm group vs. >32.35 mm group, OS: 71.0% vs. 83.0%, P = 0.504; DFS: 65.7% vs. 80.4%, P = 0.305). Conclusion In patients with stromal invasion <1/2 depth, the PRR should reach 32.35 mm to get more survival benefit and in patients with stromal invasion ≥1/2 depth, the PRR should reach 32.35 mm at least to avoid worse prognosis. Cervical cancer patients with different depths of stromal invasion may receive tailoring resection of the cardinal ligament.

Abstract
Background: In transgender men, effects of colpectomy on voiding function are unknown, except for the incidence rates of urinary tract infections and urinary retention. Aims: To provide insight into the effect of colpectomy on Lower Urinary Tract Function (LUTF) in transgender men. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted among transgender men who underwent colpectomy between January 2018 and October 2020. Primary outcomes were objective and subjective changes in voiding. Secondary outcomes were transurethral catheterization length and the need for clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC). Results: Of 132 men, 89 (67%) underwent Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Colpectomy (RaLC) and 43 (33%) Vaginal Colpectomy (VC). Maximum flow rate on uroflowmetry decreased following RaLC (mean of 29.1 vs. 38.3 mL/s, p = 0.002) and VC (mean of 29.2 vs. 40.3 mL/s, p < 0.001) after a median of four months postoperatively. An increase in total International Prostate Symptom Score was seen more frequently following VC compared to RaLC. Subjective changes were indicated by 39%, more often by men who underwent VC, of which the majority improved during the first months postoperatively. Trial without catheter (TWOC) on the first postoperative day was more successful after RaLC (79/89, 89%) than VC (24/43, 56%). Secondary TWOC was successful in 22/132 (17%) patients after a median of eight days postoperatively. In 5/132 (4%) men (three VC and two RaLC), temporary CISC was necessary for a period ranging from 5 to 21 days. The last 2/132 (2%) men after RaLC were still performing CISC at end of follow-up. Eventually, 5% (two VC and four RaLC) had to refrain from genital gender-affirming surgery with urethral lengthening due to voiding dysfunction. Discussion: After colpectomy, most objective and subjective worsening in LUTF is of a temporary nature, however, 5% had to refrain from genital gender-affirming surgery with urethral lengthening due to persistent voiding dysfunction, despite the desire to void while standing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the timing of postoperative urinary catheter removal is associated with voiding dysfunction after radical hysterectomy for early cervical cancer within contemporary surgical practice. METHODS We performed an institutional retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent Piver type II-III open or minimally invasive radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage IA1 with lymphovascular invasion to stage IIA) between January 2006 and December 2019. We compared voiding dysfunction (inability to spontaneously void with a post-void residual <100 mL after catheter removal) and outcomes based on postoperative timing of urinary catheter removal using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions. RESULTS Among 234 patients, 86 (36.8%) underwent open surgery and 112 (47.9%) used enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways. 29 (12.4%) patients had urinary catheter removal between 1-5 days postoperatively (group 1), 141 (60.3%) between 6-10 days (group 2), and 64 (27.3%) between 11-15 days (group 3). The overall rate of voiding dysfunction was 11.5%, with no difference between group 1 (17.2%), group 2 (11.3%), and group 3 (9.4%) (p=0.54). Group 1 had a significantly shorter time from surgery to spontaneous voiding (4 days, IQR 3-5 days) compared with group 2 (8 days, IQR 7-10 days) and group 3 (13 days, IQR 11-15 days) (p<0.01). There was no difference in hospital length of stay, urinary tract infection, or re-admission due to a genitourinary complication within 60 days of surgery based on timing of catheter removal. On multivariate analysis, the odds of voiding dysfunction did not differ by tumor size, type of hysterectomy, cancer stage, surgical approach, ERAS timeframe, or timing of catheter removal group. CONCLUSION There was no difference in voiding dysfunction or postoperative genitourinary complications based on timing of urinary catheter removal after radical hysterectomy. Early catheter removal should be considered in this population.

Objective and subjective assessment of bladder function after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2022; 29:1075-1082. [PMID: 35654357 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2022.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To examine whether objective bladder function following robot-assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH) for early-stage cervical cancer is correlated with subjective patient-reported outcomes as well as quality of life during the first year after RRH. DESIGN Prospective observational study SETTING: Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden PATIENTS: Women with early stage cervical cancer (FIGO stage IA2-IB1) between July 2017 and May 2019 were assessed for eligibility. INTERVENTIONS Robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Subjective bladder function was evaluated with the Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Urinary Incontinence Quality of Life modules of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire. Objective urinary function was characterized with urodynamic tests and the nerves ablated at RRH were quantified by using immunohistochemical staining of biopsies from the resected paracervix, vesico-uterine and sacro-uterine ligaments. Twenty-seven women were included for analysis at baseline, two weeks, three months and 12 months after surgery. RRH caused hypotonia of the urinary bladder (p<.05). Patient reported outcomes of voiding and filling dysfunction were most significant 2 weeks after surgery (p<.05) but for most of the women bladder function recovered within 3 months. No correlations were found with either subjective nor objective urinary function and the number of ablated nerves. CONCLUSION For the majority of women, objective and subjective urinary bladder dysfunction recovered within 3 months after RRH. The absence of correlation between functional outcomes and ablated autonomous nerves suggest that other underlying causes play a significant role. Early detection of bladder overextension after RRH is paramount and the role of postoperative bladder catherization needs further investigation.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the perceptions of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and rehabilitation care amongst women after radical hysterectomy and to explore ways to improve quality of care. Methods Thirty-six women who underwent radical hysterectomy at a hospital in southeast China were enrolled via purposive sampling. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted. The texts were analysed via qualitative content analysis. Results Four themes were obtained: serious lack of knowledge, heavy psychological burden, different coping strategies and great eagerness to receive multiparty support on PFD rehabilitation care. Conclusion The society and professional staff should strengthen health education on PFD. Professionals should offer education before and after surgery and actively provide rehabilitation consultation to promote the availability of rehabilitation to support women with PFD rehabilitation care. In addition, family-centred care is an important way to support women to return to normal life, and women's need for family support should be more actively expressed. Moreover, knowledge of medical insurance should be popularised, especially in rural areas in China.

Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) Protocol for Early Discharge within 12 Hours after Robotic Radical Hysterectomy. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11041122. [PMID: 35207395 PMCID: PMC8874658 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11041122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
To evaluate safety of quick discharge after robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) in a tertiary hospital which has the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. Among 94 consecutive cervical cancer patients who had undergone RRH, operative outcomes and the rate of unexpected visit after surgery were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were categorized as a surgery-to-discharge time of ≤12 h (early discharge [ED]) or >12 h (late discharge [LD]). About 77% (n = 72) of analyzed 94 patients discharged within 12 h after RRH. The ED group had significant correlation with shorter duration for urinary catheter required, less operative blood loss, and less voiding difficulty after long-term follow up compared to the LD group. There was no difference of perioperative complications and unexpected visit between the two groups. Performing nerve sparing (NS) RRH was only independent predictor for ED (p = 0.043, hazard ratio for LD = 0.22, confidence interval = 0.05–0.95). In conclusion, the ED within 12 h after RRH was safe in the setting of ERAS protocol. The NS-RRH could avoid the delay of genitourinary function recovery after surgery which caused LD. It can become the reasonable clinical pathway to discharge early patients who undergo NS-RRH with ERAS protocol.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effects of different hysterectomies—simple hysterectomy (SH) and radical hysterectomy (RH) with or without radiation therapy (RT) on urodynamics and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Materials and Methods Among patients who underwent urodynamic study between 2009 and 2019, those with RH history due to cervical cancer and SH for uterine myoma were included. Clinical parameters were compared after adjusting clinically significant baseline variables with multivariate regression. Results A total of 289 patients (RH-only, n=57; RH+RT, n=72; SH, n=160) were included. Age at hysterectomy, gap between urodynamic study and hysterectomy, body mass index, hypertension and vaginal delivery history were adjusted. Stress urinary incontinence was more likely to occur in SH group (p<0.001), while urgency urinary incontinence was more prevalent in patients with history of RH (odds ratio [OR] 6.4, 95% confidence interval 2.171–18.855; p=0.001). There was no difference in OR of mixed urinary incontinence. Higher proportion of RH patients complained of recurrent urinary tract infection and voiding symptoms requiring intermittent catheterization. On urodynamic study, RH groups had lower maximal flow rate, larger post-void residual, decreased bladder sensation and impaired detrusor contractility (all p<0.001) than SH group. Adjuvant RT resulted in decreased compliance and decrease in volume of the first sense to void. Conclusions Predominant LUTS differed among patients after different types of hysterectomy. RH resulted in inefficient bladder emptying, leading to recurrent urinary tract infection and voiding symptoms requiring intermittent catheterization. Adjuvant RT exacerbated bladder compliance and increased bladder sensation.

Long-Term Effect of Early Post-operative Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation on Voiding Function After Radical Hysterectomy: A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:677029. [PMID: 34660617 PMCID: PMC8514959 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.677029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Post-radical-hysterectomy (RH) patients suffer from a series of problems resulting from neurovascular injury, such as bladder dysfunction, which reduce their quality of life. We have designed this study to evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) on patient rehabilitation after RH for early cervical cancer. Materials and methods: A total of 97 patients were enrolled in a randomized-controlled trial (from January 2015 to December 2019) involving 7 medical centers nationwide. Patients were assigned to either the intervention group (n = 46), or the control group (n = 51). TENS was given to patients in the intervention group from the 7th day after surgery for a total of 14–21 days. The control group received no TENS. Primary outcomes were measured for residual urine volume and recovery of urination function. Secondary outcomes were measures for urodynamics (UDS), pelvic floor electromyography function examination (PFEmF), and quality of life (QoL). Results: Residual urine volume and improvement in the rate of urination were found to show no significant differences on the 14th, 21st, and 28th days after surgery. The maximum flow rate (Qmax) in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group on the 28th day, but there were no significant differences in average flow rate, voiding time, time to Qmax, muscle fiber strength, muscle fiber fatigue, and the abnormal rate of A3 reflection on the 28th day and the 3rd mo., as well as in the QoL at 3rd mo., 6th mo., and 12th mo. after surgery. Conclusion: Our study showed no sufficient evidence to prove that TENS under the trialed parameters could improve the subject's voiding function, PFEmF, and QOL after RH. This has provided valuable data for rehabilitation after RH. Clinical Trial Registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02492542.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of radical hysterectomy for patients with cervical cancer on voiding function remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between radical hysterectomy for patients with cervical cancer and the odds of developing neurogenic bladder by using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan. METHODS We identified 17 936 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer between 2000 and 2013 among inpatients registered in the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database in Taiwan. Of the patients, those diagnosed as having cervical cancer without radical hysterectomy were selected and compared as a matched control group. Patients diagnosed as having cervical cancer before the index date, those with neurogenic bladder dysfunction before tracking, and those aged <20 years were excluded. The hazard ratios (HRs) of neurogenic bladder and other variants of interest were further calculated using a multivariate Cox regression analysis. The cutoff p value of <0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. RESULTS The adjusted HR (aHR) of subsequent neurogenic bladder was higher in the hysterectomy group (aHR = 1.205; 95% CI, 1.086-1.440; p = 0.029) than in the control group during the follow-up period. As to the age subgroups, the patients aged 20 to 44 years (aHR = 3.321, p = 0.001) had a significantly increased risk of developing neurogenic bladder after radical hysterectomy as compared with those aged 45 to 64 years (aHR = 1.193, p = 0.012). CONCLUSION Patients with cervical cancer undergoing radical hysterectomy have an increased risk of neurogenic bladder, which may result from nerve denervation caused by the operation. These patients should be informed of the potential risk of voiding dysfunction during discussion of the subsequent management for cervical cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and pelvic floor function of cervical cancer (CC) patients after treatment. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional observational cohort study. PARTICIPANTS The participants included in this study were CC patients who underwent radical hysterectomy (RH) from 2012 to 2018 at 18 medical centers across China. METHODS The validated versions of the Pelvic floor Distress Inventory-Short Form 20, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score, and Euro Qol Five-Dimension questionnaires were used to evaluate postoperative pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and QoL. RESULTS A total of 689 CC patients were enrolled. The incidence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), incomplete urinary emptying, and constipation were 32.7, 27.7, and 28.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis confirmed that laparoscopic RH (LRH) and vaginal wall resection greater than 3 cm were risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). LRH and chemotherapy were risk factors for SUI. Chemoradiotherapy and LRH were risk factors for overactive bladder (OAB). A high body mass index and LRH were risk factors for more severe defecation symptoms. ARH and large amount of operative blood loss were risk factors for poor QoL. CONCLUSION PFD is common in CC patients after treatment. LRH seems to increase the postoperative distress, including LUTS and defecation symptoms. Postoperative urinary incontinence and OAB are more bothersome for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We recommend evaluating pelvic floor function as a standard assessment during follow-up.

Prediction of lymphovascular space invasion using a combination of tenascin-C, cox-2, and PET/CT radiomics in patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma. BMC Cancer 2021; 21:866. [PMID: 34320931 PMCID: PMC8317359 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-08596-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphovascular space invasion is an independent prognostic factor in early-stage cervical cancer. However, there is a lack of non-invasive methods to detect lymphovascular space invasion. Some researchers found that Tenascin-C and Cyclooxygenase-2 was correlated with lymphovascular space invasion. Radiomics has been studied as an emerging tool for distinguishing tumor pathology stage, evaluating treatment response, and predicting prognosis. This study aimed to establish a machine learning model that combines radiomics based on PET imaging with tenascin-C (TNC) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) for predicting lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS One hundred and twelve patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma who underwent PET/CT examination were retrospectively analyzed. Four hundred one radiomics features based on PET/CT images were extracted and integrated into radiomics score (Rad-score). Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate TNC and COX-2 expression. Mann-Whitney U test was used to distinguish differences in the Rad-score, TNC, and COX-2 between LVSI and non-LVSI groups. The correlations of characteristics were tested by Spearman analysis. Machine learning models including radiomics model, protein model and combined model were established by logistic regression algorithm and evaluated by ROC curve. Pairwise comparisons of ROC curves were tested by DeLong test. RESULTS The Rad-score of patients with LVSI was significantly higher than those without. A significant correlation was shown between LVSI and Rad-score (r = 0.631, p < 0.001). TNC was correlated to both the Rad-score (r = 0.244, p = 0.024) and COX-2 (r = 0.227, p = 0.036). The radiomics model had the best predictive performance among all models in training and external dataset (AUCs: 0.914, 0.806, respectively, p < 0.001). However, in testing dataset, the combined model had better efficiency for predicting LVSI than other models (AUCs: 0.801 vs. 0.756 and 0.801 vs. 0.631, respectively). CONCLUSION The machine learning model of the combination of PET radiomics with COX-2 and TNC provides a new tool for detecting LVSI in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. In the future, multicentric studies on larger sample of patients will be used to test the model. TRIAL REGISTRATION This is a retrospective study and there is no experimental intervention on human participants. The Ethics Committee has confirmed that retrospectively registered is not required.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22136838. [PMID: 34202161 PMCID: PMC8269166 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22136838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 06/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The autonomic nervous system derives from the neural crest (NC) and supplies motor innervation to the smooth muscle of visceral organs, including the lower urinary tract (LUT). During fetal development, sacral NC cells colonize the urogenital sinus to form pelvic ganglia (PG) flanking the bladder neck. The coordinated activity of PG neurons is required for normal urination; however, little is known about the development of PG neuronal diversity. To discover candidate genes involved in PG neurogenesis, the transcriptome profiling of sacral NC and developing PG was performed, and we identified the enrichment of the type 3 serotonin receptor (5-HT3, encoded by Htr3a and Htr3b). We determined that Htr3a is one of the first serotonin receptor genes that is up-regulated in sacral NC progenitors and is maintained in differentiating PG neurons. In vitro cultures showed that the disruption of 5-HT3 signaling alters the differentiation outcomes of sacral NC cells, while the stimulation of 5-HT3 in explanted fetal pelvic ganglia severely diminished neurite arbor outgrowth. Overall, this study provides a valuable resource for the analysis of signaling pathways in PG development, identifies 5-HT3 as a novel regulator of NC lineage diversification and neuronal maturation in the peripheral nervous system, and indicates that the perturbation of 5-HT3 signaling in gestation has the potential to alter bladder function later in life.

Abstract
Radical hysterectomy (RH) may cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) for patients with cervical cancer. Few data are available on the long-term LUTS of these patients and whether the symptoms relate to the route of surgery remain unclear. Here, we assessed the long-term urinary dysfunction in cervical cancer patients after RH based on a self-reported questionnaire. A total of 168 patients after type C2 RH, either by laparoscopy (LRH) or laparotomy (ARH), were analysed. The median length of follow-up was 54 ± 8.35 months. The total incidence of urinary dysfunction was around 40%. Patients with LRH had more intermittent stream and feeling of incomplete emptying than those in ARH group. Our data indicate the irreversible damage of RH to urinary function of cervical cancer patients, who should be informed of the long-term and high incidence of urinary dysfunction after RH when they choose surgical treatment.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Radical hysterectomy (RH) with pelvic lymphadenectomy is standard surgical care for patients with cervical cancer. RH could induce urinary dysfunction, including bladder sensation loss, hypertonic and hypotonic bladder, urinary incontinence, etc. Studies mainly focus on short- or mid-term urinary dysfunction and stated that spontaneous recovery of urinary function is to be expected within 6-12 months after surgery.What the results of this study add? The lower urinary tract symptoms last for years after type C2 RH, indicating the irreversible damage of RH to urinary function of cervical cancer patients. The incidence of bladder dysfunction is increased in patients submitted to laparoscopic RH compared to abdominal RH.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Cervical cancer patients should be informed of the long-term and high incidence of urinary dysfunction after RH when they choose surgical treatment.

Abstract
Purpose Despite the establishment of radical surgery for therapy of cervical cancer, data on quality of life and patient-reported outcomes are scarce. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate bladder, bowel and sexual function in women who underwent minimally invasive surgery for early-stage cervical cancer. Methods From 2007–2013, 261 women underwent laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy (LARVH = 45), vaginally assisted laparoscopic or robotic radical hysterectomy (VALRRH = 61) or laparoscopic total mesometrial resection (TMMR = 25) and 131 of them completed the validated German version of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (PFQ). Results were compared with controls recruited from gynecological clinics (n = 24) and with urogynecological patients (n = 63). Results Groups were similar regarding age, BMI and parity. The TMMR group had significantly shorter median follow-up (16 months versus 70 and 36 months). Postoperatively, deterioration of bladder function was reported by 70%, 57% and 44% in the LARVH, VARRVH and TMMR groups, respectively (p = 0.734). Bowel function was significantly worse after TMMR with a higher deterioration rate in 72 versus 43% (LARVH) and 47% (VARRVH) with a correspondingly higher bowel dysfunction score of 2.9 versus 1.5 and 1.8, respectively and 1.8 in urogynaecological patients. Sexual dysfunction was common in all surgical groups. 38% considered their vagina too short which was significantly associated with deep dyspareunia. Compared with controls, surgical groups had significantly increased PFQ scores. Conclusion Pelvic floor dysfunction commonly deteriorates and negatively impacts on quality of life after minimally invasive radical hysterectomy, especially bowel function after TMMR. Pelvic floor symptoms should routinely be addressed pre- and postoperatively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess a human cadaver model of sacral plexus dissection for learning about deep innervation in the female pelvis, and the latter's relationship with deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHODS This was a prospective, observational study. Eight residents in obstetrics and gynecology were tested before and after a lecture on innervation of the female pelvis and a cadaver dissection class. Standardized cadaver dissection was used to identify the sacral nerve roots S2 to S4, superior and inferior hypogastric plexuses, hypogastric nerve, and splanchnic nerves. RESULTS The residents' level of knowledge improved significantly after a one-hour lecture (p = 0.9.10-5) and after a cadaver dissection class (p = 0.6.10-6). The improvement was significantly greater for the dissection class (p = 0.0003). All the pelvic nerve structures were identified in all but one of the cadavers and had similar measurements. A vascular anatomical variant was observed in one case. CONCLUSION A human cadaver model is of value for learning about deep pelvic innervation and the latter's relationship with deep infiltrating endometriosis. The reproducibility and safety of cadaver dissection might improve surgical skills.

Abstract
This work aimed to assess the influence of oncological combination therapy that was done on endometrial or ovarian cancer and how the urinary system is influenced as well as the quality of life in comparison to a group of female patients after the removal of the uterus with appendages due to endometrial cancer, which did not require the supplementation of therapy after operative treatment. The study included 87 patients with endometrial cancer, where, after the removal of the uterus, there was no need for conducting adjuvant therapy (C), as well as 92 female patients with endometrial cancer or 38 patients with ovarian cancer in whom combination therapy was conducted (group A, B). The assessment of the quality of life was conducted using the questionnaires: Satisfaction Life Scale (SWLS), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7), and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) for three, six, nine, and 12 months after the conclusion of oncological treatment. It was observed that there was a statistically significant decrease in the quality of life in female patients who underwent combination therapy in comparison to a group in whose treatment only included surgery (p < 0.05). The risk of developing urinary incontinence increases alongside an increase in the scope of the operation and in the case of supplementing treatment with brachytherapy in comparison to chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder dysfunction is a common complication following radical hysterectomy, caused by the damage to pelvic autonomic nerves that innervate the muscles of the bladder, urethral sphincter, and pelvic floor fasciae. Bladder dysfunction increases the rates of urinary tract infection, hospital visits or admission, and patient dissatisfaction. In addition, bladder dysfunction can also negatively impact patient quality of life (QoL). Several postoperative interventions have been proposed to prevent bladder dysfunction following radical hysterectomy. To our knowledge, there has been no systematic review evaluating the effectiveness and safety of these interventions for preventing bladder dysfunction following radical hysterectomy in women with cervical cancer. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of postoperative interventions for preventing bladder dysfunction following radical hysterectomy in women with early-stage cervical cancer (stage IA2 to IIA2). SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2020, Issue 4) in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE via Ovid (1946 to April week 2, 2020), and Embase via Ovid (1980 to 2020, week 16). We also checked registers of clinical trials, grey literature, conference reports, and citation lists of included studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effectiveness and safety of any type of postoperative interventions for preventing bladder dysfunction following a radical hysterectomy in women with stage IA2 to IIA2 cervical cancer. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently selected potentially relevant RCTs, extracted data, assessed risk of bias, compared results, and made judgments on the quality and certainty of the evidence. We resolved any disagreements through discussion or consultation with a third review author. Outcomes of interest consisted of spontaneous voiding recovery one week after the operation, quality of life (QoL), adverse events, post-void residual urine volume one month after the operation, urinary tract infection over the one month following the operation, and subjective urinary symptoms. MAIN RESULTS We identified 1464 records as a result of the search (excluding duplicates). Of the 20 records that potentially met the review criteria, we included five reports of four studies. Most of the studies had unclear risks of selection and reporting biases. Of the four studies, one compared bethanechol versus placebo and three studies compared suprapubic catheterisation with intermittent self-catheterisation. We identified two ongoing studies. Bethanechol versus placebo The study reported no information on the rate of spontaneous voiding recovery at one week following the operation, QoL, adverse events, urinary tract infection in the first month after surgery, and subjective urinary symptoms for this comparison. The volume of post-void residual urine, assessed at one month after surgery, among women receiving bethanechol was lower than those in the placebo group (mean difference (MD) -37.4 mL, 95% confidence interval (CI) -60.35 to -14.45; one study, 39 participants; very-low certainty evidence). Suprapubic catheterisation versus intermittent self-catheterisation The studies reported no information on the rate of spontaneous voiding recovery at one week and post-void residual urine volume at one month following the operation for this comparison. There was no difference in risks of acute complication (risk ratio (RR) 0.77, 95% CI 0.24 to 2.49; one study, 71 participants; very low certainty evidence) and urinary tract infections during the first month after surgery (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.13; two studies, 95 participants; very- low certainty evidence) between participants who underwent suprapubic catheterisation and those who underwent intermittent self-catheterisation. Available data were insufficient to calculate the relative measures of the effect of interventions on QoL and subjective urinary symptoms. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS None of the included studies reported rate of spontaneous voiding recovery one week after surgery, time to a post-void residual volume of urine of 50 mL or less, or post-void residual urine volume at 6 and 12 months after surgery, all of which are important outcomes for assessing postoperative bladder dysfunction. Limited evidence suggested that bethanechol may minimise the risk of bladder dysfunction after radical hysterectomy by lowering post-void residual urine volume. The certainty of this evidence, however, was very low. The effectiveness of different types of postoperative urinary catheterisation (suprapubic and intermittent self-catheterisation) remain unproven.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this work was to analyze the long-term prevalence of urinary and fecal incontinence and their impact on quality of life in patients with advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC). METHODS This cross-sectional study included a series of patients with advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer treated by CRS + HIPEC, with a disease-free period of at least 12 months after the procedure. Urinary incontinence was evaluated using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), fecal incontinence using the Wexner test and the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life (FIQL) questionnaire and global quality of life using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) survey. RESULTS A total of 64 patients were included in the study, with a median age of 55 years (range 28-78). The urinary incontinence rate was 45% and the fecal incontinence rate was 20%. Up to 14% of the patients presented both types of incontinence. The presence of urinary or fecal incontinence generated a significant negative impact on quality of life in relation to patients without incontinence. DISCUSSION Urinary and fecal incontinence is frequent in the follow-up of ovarian cancer patients treated with CRS + HIPEC. Reconsidering the approach to the pelvis without peritoneal metastases in the peritoneum could modify the incidence of these pelvic floor dysfunctions.

Abstract
Objective Total laparoscopic nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (TL-NSRH) has been considered a promising approach, however, surgical, clinical, oncological and functional outcomes have not been systematically addressed. We present a large retrospective multi-center experience comparing TL-NSRH vs. open abdominal NSRH (OA-NSRH) for early and locally-advanced cervical cancer, with particular emphasis on post-surgical pelvic function. Methods All consecutive patients who underwent class C1-NSRH plus bilateral pelvic + para-aortic lymphadenectomy for stage IA2–IIB cervical cancer at 4 Italian gynecologic oncologic centers (Negrar, Varese, Bologna, Avellino) were enrolled. Patients were divided into TL-NSRH and OA-NSRH groups and were investigated with preoperative questionnaires on urinary, rectal and sexual function. Postoperatively, patients filled a questionnaire assessing quality of life, taking into account sexual function and psychological status. Oncological outcomes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meyer method. Results 301 consecutive patients were included in this study: 170 in the TL-NSRH group and 131 in the OA-NSRH group. Patients in the OA-NSRH group were more likely to experience urinary incontinence and (after 12-months follow-up) urinary retention. No patient in the TL-NSRH group vs. 5 (5.5%) in the OA-NSRH group had complete urinary retention (at the >24-month follow-up [p=0.02]). A total of 20 (11.8%) in the TL-NSRH and 11 (8.4%) patients in the OA-NSRH had recurrence of disease (p=0.44) and 14 (8.2%) and 9 (6.9%) died of disease during follow-up, respectively (p=0.83). Conclusion Our study shows that TL-NSRH is feasible, safe and effective and conjugates adequate radicality and improvement in post-operative functional outcomes. Oncological outcomes of laparoscopic procedures deserve further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, the most common complication is lower urinary tract symptoms. Post-operatively, bladder capacity can alter bladder function for a prolonged period. This study aimed to identify factors affecting bladder storage function. METHODS A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted. Information of patients with stages IA2 to IIB cervical cancer with urodynamic study results were retrospectively collected from nine hospitals between June 2013 and June 2018 according to the inclusion criteria. Demographic, surgical, and oncological data were collected. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify clinical factors associated with bladder storage function. RESULTS Two hundred and three patients with cervical cancer had urodynamic testing post-operatively. Ninety-five (46.8%) patients were diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The incidence of low bladder compliance (LBC) was 23.2%. Twenty-seven (13.3%) patients showed detrusor overactivity (DO). Fifty-seven patients (28.1%) presented with a decreased maximum cystometric capacity (DMCC). The probability of composite bladder storage dysfunction was 68.0%. Multivariate analysis confirmed that laparoscopy represents a protective factor for SUI with an odds ratio of 0.498 (P = 0.034). Patients who underwent a nerve-sparing procedure were less odds to experience SUI (P = 0.014). A significant positive correlation between LBC and DO was observed (P < 0.001). A greater length of the resected vagina and chemoradiotherapy were common risk factors for LBC and DO, while radiotherapy exerted a stronger effect than chemotherapy. Additionally, patients who received chemoradiotherapy frequently developed a DMCC. The follow-up time was not correlated with bladder storage function. CONCLUSION A nerve-sparing procedure without longer resected vagina is recommended for protecting the bladder storage function.

Abstract
AIMS We investigated the quality of life (QOL) of a homogenous group of ambulant patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction without significant comorbidities to elucidate the impact of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) on QOL. METHODS The subjects were 71 female patients who underwent radical hysterectomy (RH) without recurrent disease. QOL was cross-sectionally measured with the Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). We divided urinary management into spontaneous voiding (SV) and CIC as well as postoperative elapsed time into the entire period, less than 24 months (<24 months) and 24 months or more (≥24 months). RESULTS Patients with CIC showed significantly poorer QOL than patients with SV in some subscale/domain scores on SF-36 and KHQ for the entire period as well as <24 months after RH. In contrast, significant differences were not revealed between scores on both measures of patients with CIC and SV ≥24 months after RH. Moreover, in patients with CIC ≥24 months, some subscale/domain scores on both measures were significantly better than in those with <24 months. Norm-based scoring of SF-36 revealed that all subscales of patients with CIC <24 months were below the average score of healthy Japanese people, while only four subscales of those ≥24 months remained below the average. CONCLUSIONS QOL in patients with CIC was worse than in patients with SV in the short term, but similar in the long term, which suggests that QOL probably might improve with time in patients with CIC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The impact of a hysterectomy on urinary incontinence is a controversial subject in the literature. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence and incidence of urinary incontinence after a hysterectomy as well as associated risk factors such as the type of hysterectomy, the surgical approach, urodynamic criteria and uterine disease. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a systematic review in Pubmed database with the following keywords and MeSH term: hysterectomy, urinary incontinence. RESULTS A total of 1340 articles were retrieved, 42 articles were selected for the final text analysis. The results of the different studies were heterogeneous. Hysterectomy seemed to increase the rate of sphincter deficiency (VLPP<60mmH2O for 20% of cases versus 1,7% without hysterectomy, P=0.003). The vaginal route could increase the incidence of UI with OR of 2.3 (95%CI 1.0-5.2). Subtotal hysterectomy appears to increase UI with a 0,74 RR for total hysterectomy (95%CI 0.58-0.94). A radical hysterectomy with nerve conservation would preserve urinary functions, unlike pelvic radiotherapy, which is responsible for irreversible nerve damage by demyelination and bladder fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the benefits of clean intermittent self-catheterization in women who have late bladder dysfunction caused by radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer. METHODS Thirty women who underwent radical hysterectomy with late bladder dysfunction were recruited. A nursing intervention program focusing on clean intermittent self-catheterization and a drinking plan was implemented. We recorded urinary times during the day and night, post-voiding residual urine volume, positive catheter specimen of urine rate, and quality of life instruments for patients with cervical cancer . RESULTS All patients were able to satisfactorily manage clean intermittent self-catheterization following video-based operational training. Bladder function was significantly increased after 3-month intervention compared with before the intervention. Urinary times during the day and night, and post-voiding residual urine volume were greatly decreased post-intervention compared with pre-intervention. The rate of a positive catheter specimen of urine test significantly decreased over time. There was significant improvement in quality of life in five dimensions between weeks 1 and 12 following the intervention. CONCLUSIONS Patients are able to learn the technique of clean intermittent self-catheterization without any difficulty. This technique is effective together with a drinking plan to decrease late bladder dysfunction caused by radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG4 has been shown to be associated with the development of a variety of cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of SNHG4 on cervical cancer (CC) and the corresponding mechanism. The qRT-PCR was used to determine the expressions of SNHG4 and miR-148a-3p in CC cell lines and tissues. Cell apoptosis and proliferation were measured by flow cytometry and MTT assay, respectively. The interaction between SNHG4, miR-148a-3p and c-Met was verified by bioinformatics, dual-luciferase reporter gene and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and the effect of SNHG4 on the growth of CC tumor in vivo was explored. The expression of SNHG4 was increased in both CC cell lines and tissues, while the expression of miR-148a-3p was down-regulated. Meanwhile, silencing SNHG4 remarkably inhibited CC cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. In addition, miR-148a-3p was a direct target gene of SNHG4, and down-regulation of miR-148a-3p could observably reverse the effect of silencing SNHG4 on the proliferation and apoptosis of CC cells. More importantly, SNHG4 could up-regulate the expression of c-Met by targeting and interacting with miR-148a-3p. Finally, in vivo experiments confirmed that silence SNHG4 down-regulated the expression of c-Met by promoting miR-148a-3p, and ultimately suppressed the growth of CC tumor in vivo. In conclusion, SNHG4 could be used as a competitive endogenous RNA to bind to miR-148a-3p, thereby up-regulating the expression of c-Met and ultimately promoting the progression of CC, which provided a potential therapeutic target for the targeted treatment of CC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging in detecting parametrial invasion (PMI) in cervical stromal ring focally disrupted stage IB-IIA cervical cancers. METHODS Eighty-one patients with cervical stromal ring focally disrupted stage IB-IIA cervical cancers (PMI positive, n = 35; PMI negative, n = 46) who underwent preoperative MRI and radical hysterectomy were included in this study. Preoperative clinical variables and MRI variables were analyzed and compared. RESULTS The Ktrans (min, mean, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%), Kep (min, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%), and Ve (min, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%) values of patients with PMI were significantly higher than patients without PMI. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value did not show statistical difference between the two groups (1.01 ± 0.21 vs. 0.97 ± 0.20 10-3 mm2/s, p = 0.360). Tumor craniocaudal planes were higher in PMI-positive group than PMI-negative group (35.84 ± 15.39 vs. 29.70 ± 11.78 mm, p = 0.048). Tumor craniocaudal planes combined with Kepmin value showed the highest area under the curve (AUCs) of 0.775, with a sensitivity of 72.7% and a specificity of 71.1% (p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS DCE parameters combined tumor craniocaudal planes may represent a prognostic indicator for PMI in cervical stromal ring focally disrupted IB-IIA cervical cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical significance of low-frequency electrical stimulation in preventing urinary retention after radical hysterectomy. METHODS A total of 91 women with stage IA2-IB2 cervical cancer, who were treated with radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy from January 2009 to December 2012, were enrolled into this study and were randomly divided into two groups: trail group (48 cases) and control group (43 cases). Traditional bladder function training and low-frequency electrical stimulation were conducted in the trail group, while patients in the control group were only treated by traditional bladder training. The general condition, rate of urinary retention, and muscle strength grades of pelvic floor muscle in the perioperative period were compared between these two groups. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative urinary retention in the electrical stimulation group was 10.41%, significantly lower than that in the control group (44.18%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The duration of postoperative fever and use of antibiotics were almost the same between these two groups. Eleven days after surgery, the difference in grades of the pelvic floor muscle between these two groups was not statistically significant. However, 14 days after the operation, grades of the pelvic floor muscle were significantly higher in the trail group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). In addition, although there was no significant difference between the two groups with different parameters (P = 0.782), the incidence of urinary retention was lower in the endorphins analgesia program group than in the neuromuscular repair program group (9.09% < 11.54%). CONCLUSION Low-frequency electrical stimulation is more effective than conventional intervention in preventing urinary retention after radical hysterectomy. It also intensifies the recovery of pelvic muscle strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the return of bladder function and genitourinary complications after type C1 robotic nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (C1-RRH) to type C2 robotic radical hysterectomy (C2-RRH) in gynecologic cancers. METHODS A retrospective analysis between C1-RRH (n = 42) and C2-RRH (n = 43) was performed. Operative outcomes and perioperative genitourinary complications between the two groups were analyzed. RESULTS The C1-RRH group had shorter hospitalization (0.7 vs. 1.7 days, p < 0.001) and shorter DUC (1 vs. 28 days, p < 0.001). About 76% of C1-RRH group required a catheter for less than 1 week while 84% of the C2-RRH group did for more than 1 week (54% for 1-6 weeks; 30% > 6 weeks). In spite of the short stay after surgery (95% of C1-RRH ≤ 1 day), only two patients (4.8%) in C1-RRH group were admitted again because of urinary tract infection. C1-RRH was only independent predictor for early bladder function return within 1 week after surgery. CONCLUSION The C1-RRH showed early bladder function return and feasible outcomes in spite of early discharge. It can be considered as the first surgical option in gynecologic cancer patients who need RH to preserve their bladder function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical hysterectomy is one of the standard treatments for stage Ia2 to IIa cervical cancer. Bladder dysfunction caused by disruption of the pelvic autonomic nerves is a common complication following standard radical hysterectomy and can affect quality of life significantly. Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy is a modified radical hysterectomy, developed to permit resection of oncologically relevant tissues surrounding the cervical lesion, while preserving the pelvic autonomic nerves. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits and harms of nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy in women with stage Ia2 to IIa cervical cancer. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2018, Issue 4), MEDLINE via Ovid (1946 to May week 2, 2018), and Embase via Ovid (1980 to 2018, week 21). We also checked registers of clinical trials, grey literature, reports of conferences, citation lists of included studies, and key textbooks for potentially relevant studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy and safety of nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy compared to standard radical hysterectomy for women with early stage cervical cancer (stage Ia2 to IIa). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We applied standard Cochrane methodology for data collection and analysis. Two review authors independently selected potentially relevant RCTs, extracted data, evaluated risk of bias of the included studies, compared results and resolved disagreements by discussion or consultation with a third review author, and assessed the certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS We identified 1332 records as a result of the search (excluding duplicates). Of the 26 studies that potentially met the review criteria, we included four studies involving 205 women; most of the trials had unclear risks of bias. We identified one ongoing trial.The analysis of overall survival was not feasible, as there were no deaths reported among women allocated to standard radical hysterectomy. However, there were two deaths in among women allocated to the nerve-sparing technique. None of the included studies reported rates of intermittent self-catheterisation over one month following surgery. We could not analyse the relative effect of the two surgical techniques on quality of life due to inconsistent data reported. Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy reduced postoperative bladder dysfunctions in terms of a shorter time to postvoid residual volume of urine ≤ 50 mL (mean difference (MD) -13.21 days; 95% confidence interval (CI) -24.02 to -2.41; 111 women; 2 studies; low-certainty evidence) and lower volume of postvoid residual urine measured one month following operation (MD -9.59 days; 95% CI -16.28 to -2.90; 58 women; 2 study; low-certainty evidence). There were no clear differences in terms of perioperative complications (RR 0.55; 95% CI 0.24 to 1.26; 180 women; 3 studies; low-certainty evidence) and disease-free survival (HR 0.63; 95% CI 0.00 to 106.95; 86 women; one study; very low-certainty evidence) between the comparison groups. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy may lessen the risk of postoperative bladder dysfunction compared to the standard technique, but the certainty of this evidence is low. The very low-certainty evidence for disease-free survival and lack of information for overall survival indicate that the oncological safety of nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for women with early stage cervical cancer remains unclear. Further large, high-quality RCTs are required to determine, if clinically meaningful differences of survival exist between these two surgical treatments.

Abstract
We aimed to identify factors predicting parametrial invasion in early-stage cervical cancer patients undergoing radical hysterectomy. We recruited women with invasive cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy at a single medical institute from 2000–2011. The clinical and pathological characteristics and outcomes were retrospectively recorded, and the risk factors for parametrial invasion were analyzed. We enrolled 339 patients, including 7 with stage IA1 carcinomas, 10 with stage IA2, 266 with stage IB1, 39 with stage IB2, 14 with stage IIA1, and 3 with stage IIA2. The majority (237/339, 69.9%) had squamous cell carcinoma, while 32 (12.4%) had parametrial invasion. The 16 patients with stage IB1 tumors and parametrial invasion were older (55.9±9.5vs. 49.0±9.9 years, p = 0.005, Mann-Whitney U test), and had deeper cervical stromal invasion (9.59±4.87 vs. 7.47±5.48 mm, p = 0.048, Mann-Whitney U test), larger tumor size (2.32±1.15 vs. 1.74±1.14cm, p = 0.043, Mann-Whitney U test), higher incidences of lymphovascular space invasion (87.5% vs. 28.8%, p<0.001, chi-square test), and greater lymph node metastasis (68.8% vs. 10.8%, p<0.001, chi-square test) than the 260 patients without parametrial invasion. Among the patients with stage IB1 tumor size >2 cm,10% had parametrial invasion and 24.2% had lymph node metastasis compared with only 4% and 9.4% of stage IB1 patients with a tumor size <2 cm, respectively. Only one (0.9%) of the 109 patients aged less than 50 years had parametrial invasion compared with 6 (9.7%) of the 62 patients aged over 50 years. Patients with stage IA2 and IB1 tumors <2 cm may not need radical hysterectomy owing to the low incidence of parametrial invasion.

Predictive factors of severe perioperative morbidity of radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy in early-stage cervical cancer: A French prospective multicentric cohort of 248 patients. Eur J Surg Oncol 2018; 45:650-658. [PMID: 30910053 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2018.10.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2018] [Revised: 10/05/2018] [Accepted: 10/13/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the postoperative morbidity after radical hysterectomy (RH) for early-stage cervical cancer and to determine risk factors of severe perioperative morbidity. METHODS Data of two prospective trials on sentinel node biopsy for cervical cancer (SENTICOL I & II) were analysed. Patients having a radical hysterectomy were included between 2005 and 2012 from 25 French oncologic centers. Postoperative complications were prospectively recorded in a pre-specified analysis. RESULTS 248 patients met the inclusion criteria. The median age was 44.5 years [25-85]. 88.7% of patients had a stage IB1 disease. There were 71.4% epidermoid carcinomas and 25% adenocarcinomas. 125 patients (50.4%) had a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal RH, 88 patients (35.5%) had a total laparoscopic RH, 26 patients (10.5%) had an open RH and 9 patients (3.6%) had a robotic-assisted RH. Sixteen patients (6.4%) had intraoperative complications. On a multivariate analysis, intraoperative complications were significantly associated with BMI >30 kg/m2. The urinary, lymphovascular and neurologic complications rates were respectively 34.3%, 20.6% and 19.8%. 31 patients (12.5%) had severe postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3 or CTCAE ≥ 3). On multivariate analysis, severe postoperative complications were associated with parametrial involvement, preoperative brachytherapy and inclusion in low surgical skills center. CONCLUSIONS This study based on prospective data showed that RH has low severe postoperative complications. The main complications were urinary infections and lower limb lymphedema. Patients with early-stage cervical cancer should be referred to expert center to ensure best surgical outcomes.

Am J Obstet Gynecol 2018; 218:419.e1-419.e14. [PMID: 29305254 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2017.12.233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2017] [Revised: 12/15/2017] [Accepted: 12/27/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic floor functioning is an important concern for women requiring a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. The incidence of pelvic floor symptoms has not been reported in women who have undergone a hysterectomy for early-stage endometrial cancer. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate pelvic floor function in women who have had surgical treatment for early-stage endometrial cancer as part of the multinational Laparoscopic Approach to Cancer of the Endometrium trial and to compare patients' outcomes who had total abdominal vs total laparoscopic hysterectomy. STUDY DESIGN A multinational, phase III, randomized noninferiority trial compared disease-free survival of patients who had total abdominal hysterectomy vs total laparoscopic hysterectomy. This substudy analyzes the results from a self-administered validated questionnaire on pelvic floor symptoms (Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory) administered preoperatively, and at follow-up visits 6, 18, 30, 42, and 54 months postoperatively. RESULTS Overall, 381 patients with endometrial cancer were included in the analysis (total abdominal hysterectomy, n = 195; total laparoscopic hysterectomy, n = 186). At 6 months postsurgery both groups experienced an improvement in Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory scores compared to presurgical pelvic floor well-being (total abdominal hysterectomy: mean change -11.17; 95% confidence interval, -17.11 to -5.24; total laparoscopic hysterectomy: mean change -10.25; 95% confidence interval, -16.31 to -4.19). The magnitude of change from baseline in pelvic floor symptoms did not differ between both treatment groups up to 54 months postsurgery. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that pelvic floor function in terms of urinary, bowel, and prolapse symptoms are unlikely to deteriorate following abdominal or laparoscopic hysterectomy and are reassuring for women undergoing hysterectomy for early-stage endometrial cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To propose a geometrical margin for definition of the vaginal cuff PTV using only CT images of the full bladder (CTfull) in postoperative cervical cancer patients. METHODS Twenty-nine operated cervical cancer patients underwent volumetric arc therapy with a bladder filling protocol. This study assessed bladder filling using a portable bladder scanner and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) during the entire treatment period. The measured bladder volumes with a BladderScan® were compared with the delineated volume on CBCT. Titanium clips in the vaginal cuff were analysed to assess geometrical uncertainty and the influence of rectal and bladder volume changes. RESULTS BladderScan® showed good agreement with the delineated volume (R = 0.80). The volume changes in the bladder have a greater influence on the clip displacements than in the rectum. The 95th percentile of uncertainty of the clips in reference to CTfull in the right-left (RL), the superoinferior (SI), and the anteroposterior (AP) was 0.32, 0.65, and 1.15 cm, respectively. From this result and intra-fractional movements of the vaginal cuff reported by Haripotepornkul, a new geometrical margin was proposed for definition of the vaginal cuff planning target volume (PTV): 0.5, 0.9, and 1.4 cm in the RL, SI, and AP directions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A new geometrical margin was proposed for definition of the vaginal cuff PTV based on CTfull, which will be needless of empty bladder at the planning CT scan. This method allows patients to reduce the burden and efficient routine CT scans can be improved.
