Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present a novel totally enclosed protective device for tumor isolation in laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted of 16 patients with unilateral ovarian teratoma in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital. Laparoscopic surgery was performed with a totally enclosed protective device for tumor isolation, followed by a case series retrospective study. The indexes measured included size of cyst, rate of intraoperative rupture, duration of operation, amount of intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative length of stay in the hospital. An intact cyst resected in the device with no spillage seen indicated a successful surgery. RESULTS A total of 16 operations were performed successfully. The mean diameter of the cysts was 7.2 ± 1.4 cm. Of them, 12 (75%) had an intraoperative cyst rupture without spillage. The mean duration of surgery was 1.3 ± 0.1 h and the mean amount of intraoperative blood loss was 12.5 ± 3.2 ml. All postoperative histology tests showed benign cysts. The mean length of stay after surgery was 2.4 ± 0.5 days. No peritonitis-related symptoms or complaints were reported. CONCLUSION Laparoscopically assisted ovarian cystectomy with a totally enclosed protective device for tumor isolation was confirmed safe and feasible.

Abstract
Although a wealth of data has been published regarding fertility preservation (FP) in women with malignant diseases who receive gonadotoxic treatment, the role of FP in non-malignant conditions has been studied to a much lesser extent. These include benign haematological, autoimmune, and genetic disorders, as well as a multitude of benign gynaecological conditions (BGCs) that may compromise ovarian reserve and/or reproductive potential due to pathogenic mechanisms or as a result of medical or surgical treatments. Alongside accumulating data that document the reproductive potential of cryopreserved oocytes and ovarian tissue, there is potential interest in FP for women with BGCs at risk of infertility; however, there are currently insufficient data about FP in women with BGCs to develop guidelines for clinical practice. The purpose of this article is to appraise the available evidence regarding FP for BGC and discuss potential strategies for FP based on estimated ovarian impairment and on short-term and long-term reproductive goals of patients. Cost-effectiveness considerations and patients' perspectives will also be discussed.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumours (BOTs) commonly affect young nulliparous women, thus making fertility-preserving approaches more desirable. Women who opt for conservative management should be counselled about disease recurrence. In this retrospective study, the medical records of 57 women with BOT treated at the American University of Beirut Medical Centre between January 1986 and May 2018 were reviewed. Clinical, pathologic, and demographic data were collected and analysed to identify variables associated with poor clinical outcomes including advanced disease and risk of recurrence. Younger and nulliparous women were more likely to undergo fertility-sparing surgery. The open approach was adopted for women with larger adnexal masses and was associated with more blood loss with a mean difference of 172 mL (95% CI [110-235], p-value < .001) but no significant difference in operative time and length of hospital stay compared to the laparoscopic approach. CA-125 correlated with an advanced International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (p = .004). The recurrence rate was found to be 7% with a median recurrence time of 41.5 months.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? BOTs are common in young nulliparous women who often desire fertility-sparing procedures. Prognostic factors associated with disease severity and recurrence remain controversial.What do the results of this study add? This study presents an opportunity to understand the disease behaviour and compare local practices and outcomes to what was reported in the literature. CA-125 appears to be a useful marker in predicting the stage of BOT.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Future research should focus on exploring whether BOTs with micropapillary features represent an aggressive histologic subtype more prone to recurrence.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic surgery for large ovarian masses with benign features. Materials and Methods Women who underwent laparoscopic surgery for an ovarian mass with benign features between 2017 and 2019 at a tertiary referral center were included in the retrospective study. Based on the size of the ovarian mass, the women were divided into the case and control groups of ≥10 cm and <10 cm, respectively. Clinical characteristics, operative findings, histopathological results, and complication rates of the groups were compared. Results A total of 260 women, 64 women with large masses and 196 with small masses were included in the study. The operation time, intraoperative cyst rupture rate, complication rate, and hospital stay were similar in the case and control groups (P > 0.05). The cyst aspiration rate (29.7% vs. 5.1%, P < 0.001) and the unexpected malignancy rate (7.8% vs. 0.0% P = 0.001) were significantly higher in the case group than in the control group. Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery was found feasible for the treatment of women with large ovarian masses. However, a higher unexpected malignancy rate requires the careful patient selection and appropriate counseling preoperatively in these cases.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) account for approximately 15% of all epithelial ovarian cancers. In 80% of cases the diagnosis of BOTs is done at stage I and more than a third of BOTs occurs in women younger than 40 years of age wishing to preserve their childbearing potential; the issue of conservative surgical management (fertility-sparing treatment) is thus becoming of paramount importance. At early stages, the modalities of conservative treatment could range from mono-lateral cystectomy to bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Although cystectomy is the preferred method to promote fertility it can lead to an elevated risk of recurrence; therefore, an appropriate counseling about the risk of relapse is mandatory before opting for this treatment. Nevertheless, relapses are often benign and can be treated by repeated conservative surgery. Besides the stage of the disease, histological subtype is another essential factor when considering the proper procedure: as most mucinous BOTs (mBOTs) are more commonly unilateral, the risk of an invasive recurrence seems to be higher, compared to serous histotype, therefore unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended. In the appraisal of current literature, this review aims to gain better insight on the current recommendations to identify the right balance between an accurate staging and an optimal fertility outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant epithelioid neoplasm with ACTB-GLI1 fusion are considered different from the more common pericytic lesions, such myopericytoma, because they have a spectrum of different genetic abnormalities. They appear to pursue a benign clinical course in young adults, although in sporadic cases lymph node metastasis were described. The categorization of this new type of tumor may also lead to new therapeutic strategies, because they might be sensitive to SHH pathway inhibitors. CASE PRESENTATION The case involves a 72-years-old multiparous woman who accessed our department after an incidental finding of a right adnexal mass of 43 mm with contrast-enhancement on a control computed tomography scan made for suspected diverticulitis. Our intervention was a detailed ultrasound description of the suspected neoplasm; a diagnostic laparoscopy and the contextual laparotomic removal of abdominal mass; its histological and immunohistochemical analysis. Our main outcome measure is the definition and future recognition of new pathologic entity called malignant epithelioid neoplasm with ACTB-GLI1 fusion. CONCLUSIONS We described for the first time the ultrasound characteristic of this type of lesion using standardized terminology and we believe that it may be the first step to improve the acknowledgement of this novel pathologic entity defined as malignant epithelioid neoplasm with GLI-1 fusions.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of our study was to determine the main surgical factors associated with postoperative pains in patients undergoing adnexectomy.Material and Methods: Patients that underwent adnexectomy in two French Gynecological centers between July, 2018 and March, 2020 were prospectively included and retrospectively analyzed. The main pre and per operative surgical factors were analyzed to assess their impact on immediate postoperative pain. Analgesic consumption was recorded for each patient and pain was evaluated using the validated numeric rating scale (ranging between 0 and 10).Results: One hundred and seventeen patients underwent laparoscopic adnexectomy. Eighty-four patients (72%) experienced either no or minor postoperative pain (NRS ≤ 2). Seventeen patients (14.5%) required strong opioids (subcutaneous morphine injection) in the immediate postoperative period. The only two parameters that had a significant impact on immediate postoperative pain were the realization of a fascia closure and the duration of pneumoperitoneum longer than 60 minutes. Pneumoperitoneum pressure and size of ports were not significantly correlated with postoperative pain.Conclusion: Fascia closure and increased surgical time were significantly associated with immediate postoperative pain and the need for strong opioids consumption. Surgical training to limit prolonged surgeries should be strongly emphasized to lower postoperative pain and limit opioids consumption.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the characteristics of endobags present in the market, the weight of specimen removed, complications of the operations and time required for in-bag morcellation in women undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a systematic review, including prospective and retrospective studies, with or without randomized allocation of the patients, using endobags in laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries. We extracted data about study design, type and price of bag used, type of surgical procedure, specimen weight, mean time for morcellation and for total surgical procedure, complications. RESULTS We included 11 studies, including a total of 1160 patients, in which the investigators used MorSafe, Endocatch II autosuture, More-Cell-Safe, Endocatch, EcoSac and LapBag. A wide range of specimens were morcellated with the largest successfully morcellated specimen weighing 2314 gr. Only half of the studies comparing uncontained and contained morcellation found a significant increase of total operative time. Finally, the number of complications was not increased when endobag was used. CONCLUSION According to our systematic review, in-bag (contained) morcellation can be considered as a safe and unexpensive option, associated with a very low number of complications, even with large specimens.

Abstract
We aim to assess the additional value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for the risk stratification of sonographically indeterminate ovarian neoplasms. A total of 21 patients with diagnosed adnexal masses between 2014 and 2017 were divided into malignant (four serous cystadenocarcinomas, four endometrioid carcinomas, three clear cell carcinomas, and one carcinosarcoma) and benign (four cystadenomas, two teratomas, one fibroma, one endometrioma, and one corpus luteal cyst) groups. An apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of 1.27 × 10-3 mm2/s was considered as the optimal threshold in distinguishing malignant from benign ovarian tumors (sensitivity and specificity: 100% and 77.8%, respectively). Choline peaks were detected in six of seven O-RADS (Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging-Reporting Data System) 4 lesions and corrected all of the DWI false-negative clear cell carcinoma. Based on the presence of the choline peaks, the diagnostic performance of MRS showed a sensitivity of 77.8%, a specificity of 100%, and an accuracy of 85.7%, respectively. In conclusion, MRS could potentially play a complementary role for DWI in tumor characterization, particularly for O-RADS 4 tumors or clear cell carcinomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The last procedure performed by the surgeon in laparoscopic surgery is to extract the specimen through the smallest incision possible. This experiment aimed to explore the maximum diameter of specimens that can be extracted through auxiliary incisions of different lengths and shapes by in vitro physical experiments. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the abdominal wall with the muscle layer, fixed on a square wooden frame, to simulate the human abdominal wall. Then, specimen extraction ports were made with circular, inverted Y-shaped and straight-line incisions of different sizes and lengths, and specimens of different sizes were made from tissues of different species. These specimens were extracted from different incisions with a force gauge. The tension value (N) was measured, and records were made of the length or diameter of the smallest auxiliary incision through which a given specimen could pass, as well as the largest specimen diameter that could pass through an incision of a given size. This experiment provides us with preliminary experience-based knowledge of how to choose the appropriate auxiliary incision for surgical specimen extraction according to the diameter of the specimen. RESULTS The maximum diameters of specimens that could be extracted with circular ostomy diameters of 2.4, 2.7 and 3.3 cm were 4.0, 4.5 and 6.0 cm, respectively. Specimens with diameters of 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 cm could be extracted through inverted Y-shaped incisions with a length around the umbilicus of 1 cm and an extension length of 1.0, 3.0, and 4.0 cm, respectively. Moreover, these same specimens could be extracted through inverted Y-shaped incisions with a length around the umbilicus of 2 cm and extension lengths of 0.0, 1.0 and 2.0 cm. Tough tissue specimens (made from chicken gizzards) with diameters of 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 cm, respectively, could be removed through straight-line incisions measuring 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 cm in length. CONCLUSION Along with preoperative imaging, surgical planning and trocar position, the shape and length of auxiliary incisions can be used to improve the extraction of specimens via laparoscopic surgery.

Short- and Long-Term Complications of Intraoperative Benign Ovarian Cyst Spillage: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2020; 28:957-970. [PMID: 33279627 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2020.11.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review short- and long-term complications associated with intraoperative rupture of benign ovarian cysts. DATA SOURCES The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, BIOSIS, Medline (Ovid), Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar were searched using the following terms and their combinations: "spillage," "rupture," "leakage," "ovarian cyst," "teratoma," "dermoid," "operative," "surgery," "outcome." METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Randomized controlled and observational studies evaluating the operative outcomes of surgical treatment of ovarian cysts with intraoperative spillage compared with those of surgical treatment of ovarian cysts without spillage were included. A systematic review and meta-analysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was performed. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS A total of 28 studies were included in the qualitative analysis and 12 in the quantitative analysis. Ovarian cyst diameter was not found to be associated with the risk for spillage (relative risk [RR] 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.33 to 1.82). Intraoperative benign ovarian cyst rupture was not associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes such as reoperation (RR 1.16; 95% CI, 0.39-3.48), infertility (RR 0.73; 95% CI, 0.15-3.63), transient fever (RR 3.22; 95% CI, 0.83-12.51), and readmission (RR 1.00; 95% CI, 0.33-2.98). However, intraoperative spillage was found to be associated with increased risk for benign recurrence (RR 3.1; 95% CI, 1.05-9.14). A subgroup analysis of the studies that included only dermoid cysts showed an association between intraoperative cyst rupture and postoperative chemical peritonitis (RR 9.36; 95% CI, 1.20-73.28). CONCLUSION Intraoperative ovarian cyst spillage of a benign cyst is associated with limited adverse clinical outcomes. Although the surgical approach (minimally invasive vs open) should not be affected by the concern regarding an intraoperative cyst rupture, maximal efforts should be made to prevent intra-abdominal spillage.

Feasibility of Single-Port Access (SPA) Laparoscopy for Large Ovarian Tumor Suspected to Be Borderline Ovarian Tumor. Front Oncol 2020; 10:583515. [PMID: 33042851 PMCID: PMC7526335 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.583515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To compare the surgical, pathological and oncological outcomes of single-port access (SPA) laparoscopy against laparotomy for large ovarian tumor (>15 cm) suspected to be a borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) on preoperative imaging. Methods A retrospective review of the patients who underwent SPA laparoscopy (SPA Group) or laparotomy (Laparotomy Group) for suspected BOT was performed. Surgical outcomes, including the rates of iatrogenic spillage of tumor contents, and oncological outcomes, such as recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), were compared between the two groups. Correlation between intraoperative frozen section analysis and permanent pathology results was also assessed. Results A total of 178 patients underwent surgical treatment for suspected large BOT. Among them, 105 patients with a mean tumor diameter of 20.9 ± 6.5 cm underwent SPA laparoscopy, and the other 73 patients, with a mean tumor diameter 20.2 ± 5.9 cm, underwent laparotomy. The mean operation time did not differ between the two groups (99.1 ± 41.9 min for SPA Group vs. 107.3 ± 35.7 min for Laparotomy Group, p = 0.085). There was no difference in the occurrence of iatrogenic spillage of tumor contents between the groups either (11.4% in the SPA Group vs. 6.8% in the Laparotomy Group, p = 0.381). However, the postoperative complication rates were significantly higher in the Laparotomy Group compared with SPA Group (16.4% vs. 5.7%, p = 0.025). The surgical approach was not associated with the misdiagnosis rates of frozen section analysis (19% in the SPA Group vs. 26% in the Laparotomy Group, p = 0.484). The most common histologic type of the tumors was mucinous in both groups. Conclusion SPA laparoscopy is feasible, safe, and not inferior to laparotomy for surgical treatment of large ovarian tumors that suspected to be BOT on preoperative imaging.

Abstract
We describe a novel technique of intraperitoneal ultrasound scan by culdotomy before laparoscopic ovarian resection. To preserve the ovarian parenchyma in a recurrence of serous borderline ovarian tumor, a usual transvaginal ultrasound probe was introduced into the abdominal cavity, covered by a sterile bag, through posterior colpotomy. The pelvis was filled with saline solution and the ultrasound imaging was performed allowing the identification of tumor margins. After precise cystectomy, the tumor was delivered within the endo bag, through the posterior colpotomy. This new approach may be a feasible, effective and cheap technique to guide laparoscopic surgery for complex and/or small ovarian tumors.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer with complete clinical response recurs with a high rate. Recurrence is observed in almost 25% of cases with early-stage diseases and in more than 80% with more advance stages. Based on a platinum-free interval cut-off of 6 months, the first recurrence is usually classified in platinum-sensitive versus platinum-resistant, reflecting the biological characteristics underlying the clinical behavior. After this first recurrence, the patients are rarely cured, but second-line therapy can provide significant clinical responses, particularly in first platinum-sensitive recurrence. The approach to secondary and tertiary recurrence follows the same general principles applied in the first recurrence. Platinum-sensitivity based on the treatment-free interval defines the available chemotherapeutic regimens, whit less therapeutic options and a generally worse prognosis in platinum-resistant recurrent disease. Nevertheless, in this scenario, the introduction of new targeted therapies changed the prognosis of patients with both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrence. The first introduced antiangiogenic therapy resulted able to improve prognosis in recurrent disease both as a single-agent and combined therapy, although the growing adoption in the first line therapy requires further investigation to prove their efficacy after repeated use. More recently, the approach to secondary, tertiary, and later recurrence has been changed by the introduction of PARP inhibitors, which resulted effective as maintenance monotherapy in both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant recurrence when the genetic background of the tumor allows their application with a significant improvement of oncological outcomes. Overall, although the growing body of promising therapeutic options to approach recurrent ovarian cancer, all the available evidence suggests that the best unique management of secondary and tertiary recurrence does not exist but should be personalized based on the disease characteristics, previous treatments, patient characteristics, and patient preference. On that basis, in this review, we report a general and complete overview of the approach at the secondary and tertiary ovarian cancer recurrence with the aim to provide a wide vision on the multiple available therapeutic options.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumours (BOTs) are ovarian neoplasms characterised by epithelial proliferation, variable nuclear atypia and no evidence of destructive stromal invasion. BOTs account for approximately 15% of all epithelial ovarian cancers. Due to the fact that the majority of BOTs occur in women under 40 years of age, their surgical management often has to consider fertility-sparing approaches. The aim of this mini-review is to discuss the state of the art of fertility-sparing surgery for BOTs with a specific focus on the extent of surgery, post-operative management and fertility.
