Pelvic adhesion: A challenge of all gynecologic surgeries

Organ- or function-preservation surgery is recommended, but who is a candidate?

“…[1][2][3] Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) treatment becomes more and more popular, and MIS has been in place of many traditional surgical approaches for these injured organs in recent decades. [2][3][4] Although life-saving is the most critical issue for any disease treatment, postoperative recovery and quality of life should always be of concerned. 5 Therefore, many advanced technologies, such as regenerative medicine, organ transplantation, and three-dimension-printed custom-made prosthetic reconstructions, etc., are reported to effectively assist in maintaining the basic or alternative function of damaged organs and/ or tissue.…”

Risk-stratification system for pre-operative evaluation

“…With far-advanced development of technology and medical science, the precise and accurate pretherapy evaluation has become more and more reliable in recent decasdes, [1][2][3] although it does not reach a satisfactory frontier. [4][5][6] Preoperative assessment is particularly important, based on the fact the higher chance to achieve better outcomes if the diseases can be removed totally (complete cytoreduction surgery to no residual tumors [R0] status or en block resection of tumor) successfully. 7 The above-mentioned concept nearly fits all surgical illnesses, including rectal cancer (RC), prostate cancer (PC), cervical cancer (CC), endometrial cancer (EC), ovarian cancer (OC), and others.…”

“…7 Their research is a “typical” surgeon-initiated research program, since all surgeons pay their strong concern about the outcomes of patients after surgery, which includes immediate and delayed clinical situations, such as morbidity and mortality. 8 Additionally, for cancer treatment, the complete surgical resection is believed as a curative therapy, although there are still many patients who will still be complicated with recurrence and subsequent recurrence-related mortality during the follow-up period. Based on the aforementioned reasons, all surgeons are enforced to identify any risk factors that may be contributed to the therapeutic failure after surgery.…”
