RESUMEN

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer ranks fourth globally among women's cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma constitutes 70% of cervical cancer cases, often metastasizing to lungs and paraaortic nodes. Uncommon sites include the brain, skin, spleen, and muscle, while pericardial fluid metastasis is highly rare. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix that was metastatic to the pericardium and was detected on cytologic evaluation of pericardial fluid. CASE REPORT A 42-year-old woman who was previously treated for stage III squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix presented with symptoms of cough, fever, and shortness of breath for 8 days, and chest pain for 3 days. Clinical workup revealed pericardial effusion, with spread to the lungs and mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. Cytological analysis of the fluid showed malignant cells, consistent with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated cells positive for p63 and p40, while negative for GATA-3, D2-40, calretinin, and WT1. These findings in conjunction with patient's known history of cervical squamous cell carcinoma was consistent with a cytologic diagnosis of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma to pericardial fluid. CONCLUSIONS History and clinical correlation plays a vital role in determining the primary site causing malignant pericardial effusions. While the occurrence of cervical cancer metastasizing to the pericardium is uncommon, it should be considered, particularly in cases involving high-grade, invasive tumors, recurrences, or distant metastases. This possibility should be included in the list of potential diagnoses when encountering pericardial effusions with squamous cells in female patients.

RESUMEN

AIM: Cervical cancer patients with post-operative chemotherapy experience anxiety, depression, and cancer-related fatigue, leading to a decline in their quality of life and posing challenges to the rehabilitation of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to explore effective nursing methods. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a web-based positive psychological nursing model on negative emotions, cancer-related fatigue, self-management efficacy, treatment compliance, and quality of life among cervical cancer patients with post-operative chemotherapy. METHODS: This retrospective study included 101 cervical cancer patients who underwent surgical intervention at our hospital between January 2019 and December 2023. Patients who received the usual mode of care were included in the control group (n = 48), while those who received the web-based positive psychological care mode were included in the study group (n = 53). For all study subjects, various assessment indices were evaluated, including baseline characteristics, treatment adherence, and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (RPFS), the Chinese version of the Strategies Used by Patients to Promote Health (C-SUPPH), and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life questionnaire -Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Additionally, anxiety/depression, cancer-related fatigue, self-management efficacy, treatment compliance, and quality of life were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After the intervention, the HAMA score, HAMD score, and RPFS score were significantly decreased for both groups compared to before intervention (p < 0.05). However, the C-SUPPH score was significantly increased than before intervention (p < 0.05). We observed that HAMA, HAMD, and RPFS scores were substantially lower in the study group than those in the control group after intervention (p < 0.05). In contrast, C-SUPPH scores were significantly higher (p < 0.05). After the intervention, treatment compliance was significantly better in the study group compared to the control group. Furthermore, the EORTC QLQ-C30 score was substantially higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The network-based positive psychological nursing model can effectively alleviate negative emotions and cancer-related fatigue in cervical cancer patients who have undergone post-operative chemotherapy, thereby improving their quality of life. Additionally, this model improves patients' self-management effectiveness and treatment compliance. These findings provide novel insights into the nursing of cervical cancer patients with post-operative chemotherapy, underscoring its clinical significance.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is characterized by the presence of hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and mucocutaneous pigmentation on the lips, oral mucosa, nose, fingers, and toes. Synchronous mucinous metaplasia and neoplasia of the female genital tract (SMMN-FGT) refers to the occurrence of multifocal mucinous lesions in at least two sites, including the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, in the female genital tract. SMMN-FGT and PJS are rare diseases with a very low incidence, especially when occurring simultaneously. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case in which a woman with a large mass on the left ovary underwent a gynecological surgery and was diagnosed with cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma and mucinous lesions in the endometrium, bilateral fallopian tubes, and ovary, i.e., SMMN-FGT, by postoperative paraffin pathology. The patient sought medical attention for abdominal distension and enlargement. A gynecological ultrasound revealed a multilocular cystic mass in the pelvis, while serum tumor markers were within normal limits, with mildly elevated carbohydrate antigen 199 and carbohydrate antigen 125 levels. Cervical thin-prep cytology test result was negative. The patient had a family history of PJS with black spots on her skin and mucous membranes since the age of 8 years. She underwent multiple partial small bowel resections and gastrointestinal polypectomy owing to intestinal obstruction and intussusception. She underwent left adnexectomy, hysterectomy, right salpingectomy, greater omental resection, appendectomy and right ovary biopsy, and received six courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with Lopressor plus Carboplatin. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous serine threonine kinase 11 germline mutation and there were no signs of recurrence during the 18-month follow-up period after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: This is a rare case in which PJS was complicated by SMMN-FGT. Owing to its extreme rarity, there are no guidelines, but reported cases appear to indicate a poor prognosis. We retrospectively reviewed all cases of collisions between PJS and SMMN-FGT and explored the clinical features, pathological characteristics, diagnosis, treatment methods, and prognosis when the two diseases coexisted. The aim is to deepen the clinicians' understanding of this disease for early detection, diagnosis and treatment.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To compare the female sexual function between cervical cancer survivors and healthy women or with benign gynecological diseases. STUDY DESIGN: From January 1, 2010 to January 31, 2019, a case-control study was conducted to compare the female sexual function of 106 cervical cancer survivors from a tertiary hospital and 185 women admitted to a gynecological outpatient clinic from the same health area for a routine gynecological examination (n=46) or for a benign gynecological disorder (symptomatic, n=113; asymptomatic, n=26). We prospectively assessed the female sexual function using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). For the contrastive analysis hypothesis, we employed R statistical software. RESULTS: Cervical cancer survivors reported lower sexual activity rates than controls, in general, did (47.12% vs. 88.65%, p=0.0001), and, particularly, compared with healthy and symptomatic controls (47.12% vs. 82.61%, p=0.003; 47.12% vs. 87.61%, p=0.0001, respectively). Sixty and fifty-eight hundredths percent of the cervical cancer survivors experienced female sexual dysfunction, mainly due to hypoactive sexual desire (93.27%). Female sexual dysfunction was diagnosed in 64.32% of the controls, with sexual arousal disorders being the most common diagnosis (44.86%). Compared with controls, cervical cancer survivors exhibited considerably lower FSFI total scores and in sexual desire and lubrication domains (p <0.000; p <0.0001; p=0.023). CONCLUSIONS: Cervical cancer survivors had worse female sexual function and less sexual activity than controls did, although scores in both groups were in range of FSD. Rates of female sexual dysfunction were similar across cervical cancer survivors and controls, with hypoactive sexual desire and sexual arousal disorders as the most common diagnoses, respectively.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To compare the risk of developing subsequent primary lung cancer among cervical cancer patients and the general population. METHODS: Several databases were searched from inception to April 25, 2023. The standard incidence ratios (SIRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined to identify the risk for second primary lung cancer after cervical carcinoma. Subgroup analyses based on the follow-up period, age, degree of malignancy and source of SIR were conducted. All the statistical analyses were performed with STATA 15.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 22 retrospective studies involving 864,627 participants were included. The pooled results demonstrated that cervical cancer patients had a significantly greater risk for lung cancer than did the general population (SIR = 2.63, 95% CI: 2.37-2.91, P<0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analyses stratified by follow-up period (<5 years and ≥5 years), age (≤50 years and <50 years), and degree of malignancy (invasive and in situ) also revealed an increased risk of developing lung cancer among cervical carcinoma patients. CONCLUSION: Cervical cancer patients are more likely to develop subsequent primary lung cancer than the general population, regardless of age, follow-up time or degree of malignancy. However, more high-quality prospective studies are still needed to verify our findings.

RESUMEN

RATIONALE: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare yet serious medical complication that typically arises following general anesthesia or the administration of specific anesthetics. Due to the infrequency of MH, anesthesiologists often lack sufficient expertise in identifying and managing it, leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. There is an urgent need to enhance the diagnosis and management of MH through the utilization of relevant tools. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this case, a 52-year-old woman underwent radical cervical cancer surgery under general anesthesia, with no family or significant medical history. She experienced a gradual increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) to a maximum of 75 mm Hg and a rise in body temperature from 36.5 to 37.5 °C in a very short period, as well as a blood gas analysis showing a pH of 7.217. DIAGNOSIS: The anesthesiologist immediately used The WeChat applet-based National Remote Emergency System for Malignant Hyperthermia (MH-NRES), and the score was 40, which indicated that the patient was very likely to have MH. INTERVENTIONS: We immediately discontinued sevoflurane and switched total intravenous anesthesia to maintain general anesthesia, with a rapid intravenous infusion of dantrolene sodium. OUTCOMES: The ETCO2 and the temperature quickly dropped to normal, followed by successful completion of the surgery, and the patient was discharged 8 days after surgery. LESSONS: The experience can provide a basis use of MH-NRES and improve the ability of anesthesiologists to deal with intraoperative MH as well as increase the survival probability of patients.

RESUMEN

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening haemostatic disease frequently diagnosed among the cancer population. The Khorana Score is currently the primal risk assessment model to stratify oncological patients according to their susceptibility to VTE, however, it displays a limited performance. Meanwhile, intensive research on VTE pathophysiology in the general population has uncovered a range of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the condition. Nonetheless, their predictive ability concerning cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is controversial. Cervical cancer (CC) patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy often experience VTE, which negatively affects their survival. Thus, aiming for an improvement in thromboprophylaxis, new thrombotic biomarkers, including SNPs, are currently under investigation. In this study, the predictive capability of haemostatic gene SNPs on CC-related VTE and their prognostic value regardless of VTE were explored. Six SNPs in haemostatic genes were evaluated. A total of 401 CC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy were enrolled in a retrospective cohort study. The implications for the time to VTE occurrence and overall survival (OS) were assessed. CAT considerably impacted the CC patients' OS (log-rank test, P < 0.001). SERPINE1 rs2070682 (T > C) showed a significant association with the risk of CC-related VTE (CC/CT vs. TT, log-rank test, P = 0.002; C allele, Cox model, hazard ratio (HR) = 6.99 and P = 0.009), while F2 rs1799963 (G > A) demonstrated an important prognostic value regardless of VTE (AA/AG vs. GG, log-rank test, P = 0.020; A allele, Cox model, HR = 2.76 and P = 0.026). For the remaining SNPs, no significant associations were detected. The polymorphisms SERPINE1 rs2070682 and F2 rs1799963 could be valuable tools in clinical decision-making, aiding in thromboprophylaxis and CC management, respectively.

RESUMEN

Involvement of the cervix with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is extremely rare. In this case report, we discuss an unmarried woman in her early 20s, who presented in the emergency with lower abdominal pain and irregular vaginal bleeding for 1 month. Clinical examination and imaging revealed a large cervical mass probably neoplastic with obstructive uropathy. On evaluation, she was diagnosed incidentally with CALLA-positive precursor B cell ALL in peripheral blood flow cytometry. Involvement of B cell ALL in cervical mass was confirmed by histopathological examination of cervical biopsy and immunohistochemistry markers. Her history was not suggestive of signs and symptoms pertaining to leukaemia. Literature is sparse with only a few cases reporting cervical leukaemic infiltration. The present case report is a rarest case where the primary/initial presentation of precursor B cell ALL was seen with cervical involvement and obstructive uropathy mimicking characteristics of advanced cervical malignancy.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) has been considered the biggest influencing factor for cancer patients after surgery. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for severe cancer-related fatigue (CRF) patients with cervical cancer (CC). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to develop and validate a nomogram (building set = 196; validation set = 88) in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a Class III hospital in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. We adopted the questionnaire method, including the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS), Medical Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Sense of Coherence-13 (SOC-13). Binary logistic regression was used to test the risk factors of CRF. The R4.1.2 software was used to develop and validate the nomogram, including Bootstrap resampling method, the ability of Area Under Curve (AUC), Concordance Index (C-Index), Hosmer Lemeshow goodness of fit test, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, Calibration calibration curve, and Decision Curve Analysis curve (DCA). RESULTS: The regression equation was Logit(P) = 1.276-0.947 Monthly income + 0.989 Long-term passive smoking - 0.952 Physical exercise + 1.512 Diagnosis type + 1.040 Coping style - 0.726 Perceived Social Support - 2.350 Sense of Coherence. The C-Index of the nomogram was 0.921 (95% CI: 0.877∼0.958). The ROC curve showed the sensitivity of the nomogram was 0.821, the specificity was 0.900, and the accuracy was 0.857. AUC was 0.916 (95% CI: 0.876∼0.957). The calibration showed that the predicted probability of the nomogram fitted well with the actual probability. The DCA curve showed when the prediction probability was greater than about 10%, the benefit of the nomogram was positive. The results in the validation group were similar. CONCLUSION: This nomogram had good identifiability, accuracy and clinical practicality, and could be used as a prediction and evaluation tool for severe cases of clinical patients with CC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection and the leading cause of cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent HPV infection. In Zambia, the vaccine is given during Child Health Week to girls aged 14 years who are in and out of school in two doses over two years. The focus of this evaluation was to establish the cost to administer a single dose of the vaccine as well as for full immunisation of two doses. METHODS: This work was part of a broader study on assessing HPV programme implementation in Zambia. For HPV costing aspect of the study, with a healthcare provider perspective and reference year of 2020, both top-down and micro-costing approaches were used for financial costing, depending on the cost data source, and economic costs were gathered as secondary data from Expanded Programme for Immunisation Costing and Financing Project (EPIC), except human resource costs which were gathered as primary data using existing Ministry of Health salary scales and reported time spent by different health cadres on activities related to HPV vaccination. Data was collected from eight districts in four provinces, mainly using a structured questionnaire, document reviews and key informant interviews with staff at national, provincial, district and health facility levels. Administrative coverage rates were obtained for each district. RESULTS: Findings show that schools made up 53.3% of vaccination sites, community outreach sites 30.9% and finally health facilities 15.8%. In terms of coverage for 2020, for the eight districts sampled, schools had the highest coverage at 96.0%. Community outreach sites were at 6.0% of the coverage and health facilities accounted for only 1.0% of the coverage. School based delivery had the lowest economic cost at USD13.2 per dose and USD 28.1 per fully immunised child (FIC). Overall financial costs for school based delivery were US$6.0 per dose and US$12.4 per FIC. Overall economic costs taking all delivery models into account were US$23.0 per dose and US$47.6 per FIC. The main financial cost drivers were microplanning, supplies, service delivery/outreach and vaccine co-financing; while the main economic cost drivers were human resources, building overhead and vehicles. Nurses, environmental health technicians and community-based volunteers spent the most time on HPV related vaccination activities compared to other cadres and represented the greatest human resource costs. CONCLUSIONS: The financial cost of HPV vaccination in Zambia aligns favourably with similar studies conducted in other countries. However, the economic costs appear significantly higher than those observed in most international studies. This discrepancy underscores the substantial strain placed on healthcare resources by the program, a burden that often remains obscured. While the vaccine costs are currently subsidized through the generous support of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, it's crucial to recognize that these expenses pose a considerable threat to long-term sustainability. Consequently, countries such as Zambia must proactively devise strategies to address this challenge.

RESUMEN

Patients with gynecologic vasculitis should be evaluated for systemic disease as prognosis and treatment can vary depending on systemic involvement versus isolated disease. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a rare, immune-mediated small-vessel vasculitis. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis of the uterine cervix with systemic involvement has not previously been reported. A 25-year-old female with abnormal cervical cancer screening presented for colposcopy. Biopsies were notable for dysplasia and concurrent leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The patient later recalled a recurrent rash of her lower extremities, suspicious for systemic disease. Patients with gynecologic vasculitis should be evaluated for systemic involvement because prognosis and treatment differ from that of isolated disease. Additionally, leukocytoclastic vasculitis of the uterine cervix may be associated with both hormonal contraception and infections such as human papillomavirus, and any resulting cervical dysplasia should be monitored for progression and treated accordingly.

RESUMEN

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has a significant negative impact on surgical and tumor patient's safety and quality of life. There was no specific report on the incidence and risk factors of postoperative lower extremity DVT in cervical cancer patients. Analysis of the risk factors of postoperative DVT in patients with cervical cancer is of great clinical significance for prevention and treatment. We retrospectively analyzed 309 cervical cancer patients treated by the Hubei Cervical Cancer Prevention Center and used a logistic regression model to test the risk variables of postoperative lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in cervical cancer patients. By univariate analyses, the results of the study showed that the incidence of postoperative DVT was significantly increased in cervical cancer patients complicated with old age, obesity, high preoperative plasma D-dimer level, increased preoperative triglyceride level, chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease), open surgery, long operation time, intraoperative blood transfusion, advanced tumor stage, and preoperative chemotherapy/radiotherapy. Advanced age, obesity, elevated preoperative D-dimer level, high preoperative triglyceride level, and open surgery were independent risk factors for postoperative lower extremity DVT in patients with cervical cancer by multivariate regression analyses (all P < .05). In gynecologic patients with cervical cancer, there is a high incidence of postoperative lower extremity DVT. Clinicians should develop systematic and comprehensive prevention and treatment measures for the risk factors to lower this morbidity and improve patient prognosis.

RESUMEN

The Korean Association of Urogenital Tract Infection and Inflammation (KAUTII) and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency updated the guidelines for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine against sexually transmitted HPV infections in Korea to respond to changing epidemiologic trends, evolving scientific evidence, and advances in laboratory diagnostics and research. Main purpose and recommendation of vaccination against HPV are as follows: (1) the purpose of HPV vaccine is to reduce the risk of genital warts and HPV-related cancers including cervical and vulvar cancer, head and neck cancer, anal cancer, and penile cancer; (2) in Korea, bivalent (16, 18) vaccines, quadrivalent vaccines (6, 11, 16, 18), and 9-valent vaccines (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58) are used depending on the type of HPV; (3) bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines are national immunizations targeting girls aged 11-12 years and low-income young females aged 18-26 years (age and range of inoculation: routinely administered at 11 or 12 years of age, 2 doses at 0 and 6 months for 12-14 years of age; for females aged 15-26 years, 3 doses depending on the type of vaccine; vaccination can be given to those aged up to 45 years through consultation with a clinician); (4) in the case of administering 2 doses, at least 5 months apart; in the case of administering 3 doses, it is recommended to keep 4 weeks between the 1st and 2nd doses, 12 weeks between the 2nd and 3rd doses, and 5 months between the 1st and 3rd doses; (5) immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV, malignant neoplasms, and autoimmune diseases, and those undergoing transplantation or immunosuppressive therapy should receive 3 doses. HPV vaccine is not recommended during pregnancy.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: Concurrent cervical cancer with advanced pelvic organ prolapse is rare: there are no well-established treatment recommendations. It is hypothesized that chronic irritation, as with long-standing pelvic organ prolapse, may lead to dysplasia and human papillomavirus-independent carcinoma, which represents only 5% of cervical cancers. Two patients with complete uterine procidentia were referred to gynecologic oncology with cervical squamous cell carcinoma; both were clinically staged as International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics IB3. Treatment planning was complicated by procidentia in both cases. Standard definitive treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer is radiation therapy and concurrent chemotherapy; however, the mobility and externalization of the target lesion raised concerns regarding anatomic reproducibility during radiation treatment. After multidisciplinary team discussion (gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, radiation oncology), surgical resection and co-management with gynecologic oncology and urogynecology were successfully performed for definitive management for both patients. Although rare, this case study demonstrates the importance of multidisciplinary coordination in these complex clinical scenarios.

RESUMEN

The purpose was to investigate the safety and advantages of different surgical approaches applied to overweight or obese cervical cancer patients by comparing their surgical and oncological outcomes. This is a retrospective cohort study. 382 patients with a body mass index of at least 24.0 kg/m2 and stage IB-IIA (The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, FIGO 2009) cervical cancer were enrolled, and then were divided into three groups: open radical hysterectomy (ORH) group, laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) group, and robot-assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH) group according to the surgical approach. IBM SPSS version 25.0 was used to analyze data. There were 51 patients in ORH group, 225 patients in LRH group and 106 patients in RRH group. In the comparison of surgical outcomes, compared to LRH and ORH, RRH had the shortest operating time, the least estimated blood loss, the shortest postoperative hospital stay, and the shortest recovery time for bowel function (P < 0.05). In the comparison of postoperative complications, ORH has the highest rate of postoperative infection and wound complication compared to LRH and RRH (P < 0.05), and RRH has the highest proportion of urinary retention. After a median follow-up time of 61 months, there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups in terms of 5-year overall survival (OS) rate and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate, (P = 0.262, P = 0.453). In patients with overweight or obese cervical cancer, the long-term outcomes of the three surgical approaches were comparable, with RRH showing significant advantages over ORH and LRH in terms of surgical outcomes.

RESUMEN

Objective: To explore the causes and therapeutic effects of pelvic pain caused by rectal fistula or bladder fistula after comprehensive treatment of cervical cancer and rectal cancer (radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatments). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data of patients with pelvic tumors admitted to the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan City, Ningxia and the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2016 to June 2022. The causes of persistent pelvic pain in patients after comprehensive treatment was investigated, and the corresponding therapeutic effects after clinical treatment was observed. Results: Thirty-two tumor patients experienced persistent pain after comprehensive treatment, including 22 cases of cervical cancer and 10 cases of rectal cancer. The preoperative pain of the entire group of patients was evaluated using the digital grading method, with a pain score of (7.88±1.31) points. Among the 32 patients, there were 16 cases of rectovaginal fistula or ileovaginal fistula, 9 cases of vesicovaginal fistula, 5 cases of rectoperineal fistula, and 2 cases of vesicovaginorectal fistula. Thirty-two patients were initially treated with medication to relieve pain, and according to the ruptured organs, a fistula was made to the corresponding proximal intestinal canal and renal pelvis to intercept the intestinal contents and urine. However, the pain did not significantly be improved. The pain score of treatment with the above methods for one week was (8.13±1.13) points, and there was no statistically significant difference compared to preoperative treatment (P=0.417). In the later stage, based on a comprehensive evaluation of whether the tumor had recurred, the value of organ preservation, the benefits of surgery, the balance between survival time and improving quality of life, pathological organ resection or repair was performed. The surgical methods included repair of leaks, local debridement combined with irrigation of proximal intestinal fluid, distal closure of the sigmoid colon combined with proximal ostomy, posterior pelvic organ resection, anterior pelvic organ resection, and total pelvic organ resection. One week after surgery, the patients' pain completely relieved or disappeared, with the pain score of (1.72±1.37) points, which was significantly divergent from the preoperative and initial surgical treatments (P＜0.001). Conclusions: Palliative pyelostomy and proximal enterostomy cannot effectively alleviate persistent pelvic floor pain. The fundamental way to alleviate pain is complete blocking of the inflammatory erosion of the intestinal fluid and urine.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a novel technique used to restore cervical patency in a patient with severe iatrogenic cervical stenosis. DESIGN: Surgical video case report. SETTING: A single academic institution. PATIENT(S): We highlight the case of a 35-year-old nulliparous woman with a history of primary infertility. Her past medical history was significant for focal, invasive, well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, for which she underwent a loop electrosurgical excision procedure. During her infertility assessment, she was found to have an extremely stenotic cervix that was refractory to conventional treatment options. INTERVENTIONS: This video highlights our innovative laparoscopic transfundal technique used to restore her cervical patency. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: None, as this is a descriptive case report. RESULTS: Postoperatively, the patient had continued cervical patency for >1 year with successful fertility treatment resulting in pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing a laparoscopic transfundal approach used to reestablish cervical patency. This approach may be considered for patients with cervical stenosis who have not responded to standard conservative therapies.
