https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bay-2666605.html Background Treatment of obese female patients represents a real challenge. Indeed, obesity among women has reached epidemic levels not only elevating the cardiovascular and endocrinological risks, but also increasing the incidence of various gynecological pathologies (e.g. endometrial cancer and hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, genital prolapse) which commonly require hysterectomy as a surgical solution. In the last decade, minimally invasive surgery has emerged as an approach reducing the invasiveness of the standard laparoscopic surgical procedures while maintaining efficacy and feasibility. As such, in this study we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of percutaneous hysterectomy (PSS-H) approach in obese patients by reporting the first prospective comparison between the PSS-H to laparoscopic hysterectomy (LPS-H). Methods In this multicentric comparative prospective study, 45 patients affected by benign and malignant gynecological conditions were considered eligible for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Fiftee a prospective comparison between PSS and LPS approaches, that PSS-H may represent a valid alternative to performing total hysterectomy in obese patients.

Infrequently, some pelvic tumours are found in the retroperitoneal space presenting with similar symptoms. Our objective is to present our experience and review of pertinent literature on miscellaneous retroperitoneal tumours. Methods Four women with retroperitoneal tumours (one schwannoma, one granulosa cell tumour and two hindgut (tail gut) cysts)) were encountered during routine laparoscopy (3 cases) and laparotomy (one case). Following multidisciplinary consultation and additional imaging, all tumours were removed by laparotomy with one case prov
