Intrauterine device is the most widely used method of reversible contraception. It may cause various complications including perforation of uterus. In this case, 44-year-old woman was presented with lower urinary tract symptoms after six years of insertion. Patient has no remarkable physical or laboratory finding but abdominal ultrasound revealed a 27 mm hyperechogenicity, suggestive of foreign body or calculus on the posterior bladder wall which was removed endoscopically. This case highlights the need of immediate and periodic evaluation of women with intrauterine device to avoid missing serious complications.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to analyze overall survival in endometrial cancer patients’ FIGO stages I-III in relation to surgical approach; minimally invasive (MIS) or open surgery (laparotomy). Methods A population-based retrospective study of 7275 endometrial cancer patients included in the Swedish Quality Registry for Gynecologic Cancer diagnosed from 2010 to 2018. Cox proportional hazard models were used in univariable and multivariable survival analyses. Results In univariable analysis open surgery was associated with worse overall survival compared with MIS hazard ratio, HR, 1.39 (95% CI 1.18–1.63) while in the multivariable analysis, surgical approach (MIS vs open surgery) was not associated with overall survival after adjustment for known risk factors (HR 1.12, 95% CI 0.95–1.32). Higher FIGO stage, non-endometrioid histology, non-diploid tumors, lymphovascular space invasion and increasing age were independent risk factors for overall survival. Conclusion The minimal invasive or open surgical approach did not show any impact on survival for patients with endometrial cancer stages I-III when known prognostic risk factors were included in the multivariable analyses.

Despite there already being many studies on robotic surgery as a minimally invasive approach for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, the use of this technique for stage III disease is still poorly described. These are the preliminary results of our prospective study on the safety and effectiveness of robotic approaches in patients with locally advanced NSCLC in terms of postoperative complications and oncological outcomes. Since 2016, we prospectively investigated 19 consecutive patients with NSCLC stage IIIA-pN2 (diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA) who underwent lobectomy and radical lymph node dissection with robotic approaches after induction treatment. Furthermore, we matched a case-control study with 46 patients treated with open surgery during the same period of time, with similar age, comorbidities, clinical stage and tumor size. The individual matched population was composed of 16 robot-assisted thoracic surgeries and 16 patients who underwent open surgery. The median time range of resection was inferior in the open group compared to robotic lobectomy (243 vs. 161 min; p < 0.001). Lymph node resection and positivity were not significantly different (p = 0.96 and p = 0.57, respectively). Moreover, no difference was observed for PFS (p = 0.16) or OS (p = 0.41). In conclusion, we demonstrated that the early outcomes and oncological results of N2-patients after robotic lobectomy were similar to those who had open surgery. Considering the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, robot-assisted lobectomy appears to be a safe approach to patients with locally advanced diseases.

We report a case of a 41-year-old man with a solitary functioningleft kidney and history of chronic pelvic discomfort associatedwith lower urinary tract symptoms. Imaging revealed a largecystic structure in the pelvis attached to a dilated tortuous ureteron the right with congenital absence of the right kidney. The patientunderwent laparoscopic removal of the pelvic cyst and dilatedright ureter. Pathological assessment revealed mesonephric remnantsrepresenting dysplastic renal tissue attached to a dilated andobstructed megaureter, extending into the bladder wall and forminga large pelvic cyst. The patient’s symptoms resolved. A laparoscopicapproach represents an excellent surgical option for pelvicpathology.Nous décrivons le cas d’un homme de 41 ans porteur d’un seulrein fonctionnel (gauche) et ayant des antécédents de douleurspelviennes chroniques liées à des symptômes affectant les voiesurinaires inférieures. Les épreuves d’imagerie ont révélé une massekystique volumineuse au niveau du pelvis, une dilatation et unesinuosité urétérales du côté droit et l’absence congénitale derein droit. Le patient a subi une ablation par laparoscopie du kystepelvien et de la section dilatée de l’uretère droit. L’évaluationpathologique a révélé des vestiges mésonéphriques constituésde tissu rénal dysplasique lié à un méga-uretère obstrué avec dilatationkystique se prolongeant dans la paroi vésicale et formant ainsiun kyste pelvien volumineux. Les symptômes du patient ont disparu.Une approche laparoscopique représente une excellenteoption chirurgicale en présence de pathologie pelvienne.

Safety Considerations

Laparoscopy or minimally invasive surgery requires surgeons to attain proficiency in skills that are fundamentally different to those required for open surgery. As a result, it both challenges junior trainees and surgeons who are experienced in open surgery. Not surprisingly, the initial learning phase of laparoscopy has been associated with an increased incidence of serious complications. Owing to time constraints and the ethical and safety considerations of allowing novices to perform laparoscopic surgery on patients, alternative methods have been sought to train junior surgeons on the basics of laparoscopic surgery.
