Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, a rare Mullerian duct anomaly, includes a triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed haemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 58-year-old woman with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, reported of recurrent genital bleeding for 9 years, was finally diagnosed with endometrial cancer. She had a history of vaginal septum resection and nephrectomy of atrophic right kidney. MRI demonstrated uterine didelphys, a tumour filling the left uterus and a cyst on the right lateral side of the uterus. Robot-assisted hysterectomy, including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy, was performed. As the cyst communicated with the right cervix, but not with the urinary tract, a Gartner duct cyst was diagnosed. Uncertain diagnosis and delay of treatment in endometrial cancer may occur in patients with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome. We should preoperatively fully evaluate the anatomy of the uterus and surrounding tissues and plan surgical procedures, especially in patients with urogenital malformations.

The Oncology Grand Rounds series is designed to place original reports published in the Journal into clinical context. A case presentation is followed by a description of diagnostic and management challenges, a review of the relevant literature, and a summary of the authors’ suggested management approaches. The goal of this series is to help readers better understand how to apply the results of key studies, including those published in Journal of Clinical Oncology, to patients seen in their own clinical practice. A 54-year-old postmenopausal female with a history of stroke and carotid endarterectomy presented with 3 weeks of vaginal bleeding with passage of clots. Gynecologic exam revealed a 3-cm barrel-shaped cervix with friability at the os and no appreciable parametrial involvement. Cervical biopsy showed high-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 9.9-cm × 4.5-cm × 6.2-cm mass extending from the uterus to the cervix with greater than 50% myometrial invasion (MMI; Fig 1 ). Total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and pelvic lymphadenectomy revealed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage II endometrial cancer: a 12-cm grade 3 endometrioid adenocarcinoma with 80% MMI and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) involving the outer half of the cervical stroma ( Fig 1 ), and without pelvic lymph node involvement.

Background: the aim of this study was to compare the operative, post-operative, and the oncological short-term outcomes of laparoscopic hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy and open abdominal hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy for early-stage endometrial cancer.Methods: 80 patients with clinical stage I endometrial cancer were enrolled in this trial; they were divided according to their selection of the method of intervention after counselling into two groups: total laparoscopic hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy group and total abdominal hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy group.Results: The mean operative time in the TLH group was 140.85± 10.033 minutes and was 118.45±12.713 minutes in the TAH group (p<0.001). The mean blood loss in the TLH group was 127.5±42.9 ml and 220.5± 84.82 ml in TAH group (p<0.001). The mean duration of postoperative ileus was 12.8±5.022 hours in the TLH group, and it was 22.3±5.573 hours in the TAH group (p<0.001). The mean time of hospital stay in the TLH group was 26.7±5.667 hours and in the TAH group was 116.4± 17.31 hours (p<0.001).Conclusions: Complete surgical staging of endometrial cancer can be performed using laparoscopy as an alternative to routine open method with similar efficacy about nodal retrieval and complication rate, and better operative and postoperative compliance in means of blood loss, ileus and hospital stay which may have an implication on cost saving in the medical service. Lymphadenectomy can be omitted in low-risk cases of endometrial cancer.

Background: Aim was to study the feasibility of total laparoscopic pan hysterectomy in patients with early stage endometrial cancer.Methods: Retrospective and prospective study of 100 patients with clinical early stage endometrial cancer was done in Bombay Hospital & Research Center over 3 years. 44 patients underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy while 56 patients underwent abdominal pain hysterectomy. Pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed in patients with myometrium invasion greater than 50%, size of tumor >2 cm, non-endometroid pathology, Grade 3.Results: The mean operating time was 2 hours in the abdominal hysterectomy group and 2.5 hrs. In the laparoscopic group. Average blood loss was 350 ml in the abdominal (Abd) group & 250 ml in the laparoscopic (lap) group. Which was comparable. The abdominal hysterectomy group experienced more postoperative pain than the laparoscopy group. However, cost wise laparoscopy group incurred more expenditure than the abdominal group. Among the post-operative complications, nausea vomiting, paralytic ileus and wound dehiscence were significantly more in the abdominal group as compared to the laparoscopy group.Conclusions: Morbidity is much less in laparoscopy route compare to open abdominal hysterectomy with equivalent survival.

ObjectivesTo evaluate the current patterns of use of minimally invasive surgical procedures, including traditional, robotic-assisted, and single-port laparoscopy, by Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) members and to compare the results to those of our 2004 and 2007 surveys.MethodsThe Society of Gynecologic Oncology members were surveyed through an online or mailed-paper survey. Data were analyzed and compared with results of our prior surveys.ResultsFour hundred six (32%) of 1279 SGO members responded. Eighty-three percent of respondents (n = 337) performed traditional laparoscopic surgery (compared with 84% in 2004 and 91% in 2007). Ninety-seven percent of respondents performed robotic surgery (compared with 27% in 2007). When respondents were asked to indicate procedures that they performed with the robot but not with traditional laparoscopy, 75% indicated radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer. Overall, 70% of respondents indicated that hysterectomy and staging for uterine cancer was the procedure they most commonly performed with a minimally invasive approach. Only 17% of respondents who performed minimally invasive surgery performed single-port laparoscopy, and only 5% of respondents indicated that single-port laparoscopy has an important or very important role in the field.ConclusionsSince our prior surveys, we found a significant increase in the overall use and indications for robotic surgery. Radical hysterectomy or trachelectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer and total hysterectomy and staging for endometrial cancer were procedures found to be significantly more appropriate for the robotic platform in comparison to traditional laparoscopy. The indications for laparoscopy have expanded beyond endometrial cancer staging to include surgical management of early-stage cervical and ovarian cancers, but the use of single-port laparoscopy remains limited.
