    Abstract Objective: Lymph nodal involvement is a prognostic factor in endometrial cancer. The added value of para-aortic lymphadenectomy compared with pelvic nodal evaluation alone remains a matter of debate in the management of patients with intermediate- and high-risk endometrial cancer. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the prognostic value of para-aortic lymphadenectomy in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival in patients with intermediate- and high-risk endometrial cancer.
    Methods: The study adhered to the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Google Scholar and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from January 2000 to April 2023. Studies on intermediate- and high-risk patients who underwent pelvic versus pelvic and para-aortic dissection were included in the analysis. The Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS) and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 tool (QUADAS-2) were used for quality assessment of the selected articles.
    Results: Fourteen studies were identified, encompassing 9415 patients with a median age of 62 years (IQR 56.5-66.5). The majority had International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I-II disease (76%) and endometrioid histology (89%). The 72% of patients who underwent only pelvic nodal evaluation and the 87% who underwent pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy received adjuvant treatment (p=0.44). Pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy was associated with a significant improvement in 5-year overall survival (RR=0.71, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.88, p<0.01), translating to a 41% reduction in the risk of overall death. However, no significant differences were observed in the 5-year risk of recurrence (RR=1.12, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.34, p=0.15). Additionally, patients undergoing pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy experienced a 26% increased risk of post-operative complications (RR=1.26, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.53, p=0.03) and prolonged operative times (MD=56.27, 95% CI 15.94 to 96.60, p<0.01).
    Conclusion: Pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy appears to confer a prognostic benefit in patients with intermediate- and high-risk endometrial cancer. Robust prospective studies are needed to further validate these findings and elucidate the precise role of para-aortic lymphadenectomy in the optimal management of these patients.

    Abstract Objectives: The surgical management of gynecological malignancies involves the development of spaces and division of structures attaching the genital tract to other pelvic organs and to the pelvic sidewall. Definition, description, and denomination of these components are heterogeneous and may not be consistent with the anatomical nomenclature. The purpose of this article is to propose a simplified nomenclature of surgical anatomy of the female pelvis.
    Methods: We performed dissection of fresh cadavers at the anatomy laboratory of the University of the Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy. Dissections were designed to illustrate surgical concepts developed by the first author. All authors agreed a consensus on the description and denomination of the nomenclature.
    Results: The nomenclature system results in a simplified nomenclature, purely descriptive, avoiding eponyms, designed to be used by surgeons, teachers, staff members, and trainees.
    Conclusions: Simplification of the anatomical description of the female pelvis is crucial to standardize operative reports in clinical practice.

    Abstract Background: Occult endometrial cancer after supracervical hysterectomy is uncommon. Even if optimal management of those rare cases is still unproven, to guide the need for adjuvant treatment, restaging should be recommended in this situation.
    Methods: The study was approved by institutional review board (DIPUSVSP-27-07-20107). We report the case of a 52-year-old woman with occult grade 2 endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma (pT1a) with negative surgical margin and smooth uterine muscle of uncertain malignant potential after supracervical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy performed for pelvic pain and uterine fibroids in a local hospital. Preoperative CT scan of chest-abdomen-pelvis did not show any lymphadenopathy or distant metastasis. Pelvic US scan revealed a normal cervical stump and a hypoechoic 18-mm right parametrial nodule. We describe the feasibility of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node identification with cervical stump injection of indocyanine green.
    Results: The patient underwent laparoscopic radical trachelectomy, left pelvic sentinel lymph node biopsy, right pelvic lymphadenectomy, peritoneal washing. Patient did not report any intraoperative or postoperative complication. At final histology cervix, SLN (ultrastaging) and pelvic lymph nodes were negative, while parametrial nodule was reported as metastasis from endometrial adenocarcinoma. Surgical margins were clear. Patient was staged as FIGO IIIB and underwent adjuvant chemo-radiation. She is now alive and disease-free, 12 months after the surgery.
    Conclusions: This video (Video 1) underlines the fact that SLN mapping with cervical injection is a feasible and safe technique also without the uterine corpus after supracervical hysterectomy. The unilateral mapping could be due to the presence of metastatic parametrium on the right side.
