    Abstract Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery programs have become the gold standard of care in many surgical specialities.
    Objectives: This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate how an ERAS program can impact outcomes across both benign and oncological gynaecological surgery to inform standard surgical practice.
    Search strategy: An electronic search of the SCOPUS, Embase and PubMed Medline databases was performed for relevant studies assessing the use of ERAS in patients undergoing gynaecological surgery compared with those without ERAS.
    Selection criteria: The studies included were all trials using ERAS programs in gynaecological surgery with a clearly outlined protocol which included at least four items from the most recent guidelines and recorded one primary outcome.
    Data collection and analysis: Meta-analysis was performed on two primary endpoints; post-operative length of stay and readmission rate and one secondary endpoint; rates of ileus. Further subgroup analyses was performed to compare benign and oncological surgeries.
    Main results: Forty studies (7885 patients) were included in the meta-analysis; 15 randomised controlled trials and 25 cohort studies. 21 studies (4333 patients) were included in meta-analyses of length of stay. Patients in the ERAS group (2351 patients) had a shortened length of stay by 1.22 days (95% CI: -1.59 - -0.86, P < 0.00001) compared to those in the control group (1982 patients). Evaluation of 27 studies (6051 patients) in meta-analysis of readmission rate demonstrated a 20% reduction in readmission rate (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.65-0.97). Analysis of our secondary outcome, demonstrated a 47% reduction in rate of ileus compared to the control group.
    Conclusions: ERAS pathways significantly reduce length of stay without increasing readmission rates or rates of ileus across benign and oncological gynaecological surgery.

    Abstract Endometrioid carcinoma with histopathologic resemblance to cutaneous pilomatrix carcinoma with mutations in the gene encoding beta-catenin, CTNNB1 are rare. There are minimal numbers of reports of high-grade tumors with this divergent differentiation in the literature. We report the case of a 29-yr-old female with an unusual presentation of endometrial cancer with overall histologic appearance indicative of a recently reported aggressive subtype of Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IVB grade 3 endometrioid carcinoma with features resembling cutaneous pilomatrix carcinoma. She was treated with a primary chemotherapy regimen with an initial significant response to treatment before developing symptomatic brain metastasis for which she underwent whole-brain radiotherapy. We discuss the unusual histologic and radiologic presentation as well as her individual management throughout this case report. The apparent association with morular metaplasia and atypical polypoid adenomyoma suggests that this rare carcinoma is within a spectrum of lesions associated with aberrant beta-catenin expression/beta-catenin mutation. Its aggressive nature highlights the importance of early recognition of this rare lesion.

    Abstract Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy in the western world. The majority of women presenting with the disease are asymptomatic and it has been dubbed the "silent killer". To date there is no effective minimally invasive method of stratifying those with the disease or screening for the disease in the general population. Recent molecular and pathological discoveries, along with the advancement of scientific technology, means there is a real possibility of having disease-specific liquid biopsies available within the clinical environment in the near future. In this review we discuss these discoveries, particularly in relation to the most common and aggressive form of EOC, and their role in making this possibility a reality.

    Abstract Cancers presenting at advanced stages inherently have poor prognosis. High grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the most common and aggressive form of tubo-ovarian cancer. Clinical tests to accurately diagnose and monitor this condition are lacking. Hence, development of disease-specific tests are urgently required. The molecular profile of HGSC during disease progression was investigated in a unique patient cohort. A bespoke data browser was developed to analyse gene expression and DNA methylation datasets for biomarker discovery. The Ovarian Cancer Data Browser (OCDB) is built in C# with a .NET framework using an integrated development environment of Microsoft Visual Studio and fast access files (.faf). The graphical user interface is easy to navigate between four analytical modes (gene expression; methylation; combined gene expression and methylation data; methylation clusters), with a rapid query response time. A user should first define a disease progression trend for prioritising results. Single or multiomics data are then mined to identify probes, genes and methylation clusters that exhibit the desired trend. A unique scoring system based on the percentage change in expression/methylation between disease stages is used. Results are filtered and ranked using weighting and penalties. The OCDB’s utility for biomarker discovery is demonstrated with the identified target OSR2. Trends in OSR2 repression and hypermethylation with HGSC disease progression were confirmed in the browser samples and an independent cohort using bioassays. The OSR2 methylation biomarker could discriminate HGSC with high specificity (95%) and sensitivity (93.18%). The OCDB has been refined and validated to be an integral part of a unique biomarker discovery pipeline. It may also be used independently to aid identification of novel targets. It carries the potential to identify further biomarker assays that can reduce type I and II errors within clinical diagnostics.

    Abstract Despite the advances of medical, endoscopic and radiological therapy over recent years the mortality rates of acute variceal haemorrhage are still 16%-20% and the medium term outcome has not improved in the last 25 years. Early transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt has proved to be an effective therapy for selected groups of patients with a high risk of re-bleeding and moderate liver disease. However, there is an unmet need for a therapy that can be applied in patients with a high risk of re-bleeding and advanced liver disease either as definitive therapy or as a bridge to permanent therapy. Self-expanding metal stents can be placed without the need for endoscopic or fluoroscopic control and, once in place, will provide effective haemostasis and allow a route for oral fluids and nutrition. They can remain in place whilst liver function recovers and secondary prophylaxis is initiated. We review the results of 6 case series including a total of 83 patients and the first randomised controlled trial of self-expanding metal stents vs balloon tamponade (BT) in the management of refractory variceal haemorrhage. We report that self-expanding metal stents provide effective haemostasis and perform better than BT in refractory bleeding, where they are associated with fewer complications. Whilst the most effective place for self-expanding metal stents in the management algorithm needs to be determined by further randomised controlled trials, currently they provide an effective alternative to BT in selected patients.

    Abstract Epithelioid trophoblastic tumours are rare neoplasms showing differentiation towards the chorion leave-type intermediate cytotrophoblast, with only a handful of cases being reported in the literature. These tumours are slow-growing and are typically confined to the uterus for extended periods of time. While the pathogenesis is unclear, they are thought to arise from a remnant intermediate trophoblast originating from prior normal pregnancies or, less frequently, gestational trophoblastic tumours. A protracted time period between the gestational event and tumour development is typical. This case describes a 49-year-old previously healthy female who presented with a completely asymptomatic uterine mass, discovered incidentally during a routine gynaecological assessment. The pathological analysis of the hysterectomy specimen confirmed an epithelioid trophoblastic tumour, involving the uterus and cervix. This is a rare gynaecological tumour. A comparative short tandem repeat analysis revealed genetic similarities to a previous healthy gestation seventeen years prior. She was successful treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab, with no evidence of disease recurrence to date.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between BRCA1 and mitotic arrest deficiency protein 2 (MAD2) protein expression, as determined by immunohistochemistry, and clinical outcomes in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC).
    Methods: A tissue microarray consisting of 94 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded EOC with fully matched clinicopathological data were immunohistochemically stained with anti-BRCA1 and anti-MAD2 antibodies. The cores were scored in a semiquantitative manner evaluating nuclear staining intensity and extent. Coexpression of BRCA1 and MAD2 was evaluated, and patient survival analyses were undertaken.
    Results: Coexpression of BRCA1 and MAD2 was assessed in 94 EOC samples, and survival analysis was performed on 65 high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs). There was a significant positive correlation between BRCA1 and MAD2 expression in this patient cohort (P < 0.0001). Both low BRCA1 and low MAD2 are independently associated with overall survival because of HGSC. Low coexpression of BRCA1 and MAD2 was also significantly associated with overall survival and was driven by BRCA1 expression.
    Conclusion: BRCA1 and MAD2 expressions are strongly correlated in EOC, but BRCA1 expression remains the stronger prognostic factor in HGSC.
