Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Postoperative gross residual disease after cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer impacts patient survival negatively. Specifically, unresected enlarged, metastatic supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes (SDLNs) may worsen progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Multiple studies have shown that upper abdominal debulking during primary cytoreductive surgery improves survival outcomes, but the evidence for resection of SDLN metastasis is less definitive. This review focuses on the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of SDLN resection for metastatic disease in advanced-stage ovarian cancer and explores emerging data on survival outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature review from January 2004 to December 2021 identified 4 relevant studies, all published after 2016. Eligible studies included patients with advanced ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer who had undergone SDLN resection using a transdiaphragmatic approach or video-assisted thorascopy, and had evaluated SDLN dissection for diagnoses and treatment or assessed the benefits of SDLN resection as it relates to prognosis. RESULTS: All 4 studies demonstrated the feasibility and safety of SDLN resection. Three of the studies reported a low intrathoracic recurrence rate after intrathoracic debulking. Cowan et al. described an impressive median PFS and OS of 17.2 months and 70.1 months, respectively, in patients who had undergone SDLN resection. CONCLUSIONS: Resection of enlarged SDLNs in carefully selected patients has the potential to confirm intrathoracic disease spread, help achieve maximal cytoreduction without delaying adjuvant treatment, and improve survival. More studies are needed to quantify the survival benefit of SDLN resection. (J GYNECOL SURG 38:202)

Abstract

Objective(s): Traditionally, midline vertical skin incisions have been utilized during surgery for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), as it is considered to maximize exposure and allow for a uterine incision to avoid the placenta. However, literature directly comparing outcomes of vertical versus transverse incisions in PAS is sparse. Our objective was to compare maternal outcomes between patients who underwent a vertical versus a transverse skin incision for PAS., Study Design: Retrospective review of patients with pathologically confirmed PAS undergoing scheduled surgery at our institution between 09/2019 and 11/2023. Starting in 10/2021, select patients were offered a transverse skin approach. Patients were eligible if the surgery was scheduled, and the placenta was not entirely covering the anterior uterine wall. The transverse skin incision was approximately 18-20cm and used the patient's prior scar. Primary outcomes included rate of maternal transfusion >4 units of packed red blood cells (PRBC), the incidence of surgical complications, and the need for conversion to general anesthesia (GETA)., Results: Seventy patients underwent scheduled surgery for PAS. Thirty-three patients had a vertical skin incision, and 37 had a transverse incision. After initiation of the transverse incision approach, 37/43 (86.0%) had a transverse incision and none required conversion to a vertical incision intraoperatively. The two groups were similar with regard to age, BMI, and severity of PAS. There was no difference in the rate of transfusion of >4 units of PRBC (vertical 12% vs transverse 22%, p=0.29), or in the rate of intraoperative complications (i.e., cystotomy; vertical 3% vs transverse 14%, p= 0.20). In patients with a transverse incision, a significantly lower number of patients required conversion to GETA intraoperatively (vertical 70% vs transverse 24%, p<0.001)., Conclusion: In appropriately selected patients, a transverse skin incision was associated with lower conversion to GETA without any difference in intraoperative outcomes., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest., (Thieme.
