Assessment Tool Quantifies Risk for Ovarian Cancer
June 13th 2011More than half of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed in the 1900s involved bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and it has been estimated that many of those were performed solely to reduce the risk for ovarian cancer. While there has been increased knowledge in the risk in women with familial history, a knowledge gap still exists for other women, which could lead them down the path of potentially unnecessary surgery

Short-Term Versus Long-Term Catheterization After Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: Which Is Better?
April 13th 2011To prevent over-distention of the bladder, clinicians rely on indwelling catheters for several days. However, little is know about the ideal length of time for catheter use. Although short-term catheterization can reduce hospital stays and urinary tract infections, it can also lead to increased postoperative voiding problems such as obstructive voiding and large residual volumes; these in turn can result in urinary tract infections and bladder dysfunction.

Gynecologic Oncology: Is Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery a Valid, Safe Option?
April 11th 2011Performing surgeries laparoscopically offers patients faster recovery, decreased blood loss and transfusion rates, and less postoperative pain, but laparoscopic procedures in gynecologic oncology can be very challenging and requires significant technical expertise and experience. It is believed that the integration of robotics into these surgeries might offer a significant advantage in the learning curve, thus allowing more surgeons to offer this procedure to their patients. . . but is this an effective and safe alternative?
