ESGO/ESHRE/ESGE Guidelines for the fertility-sparing treatment of patients

with endometrial carcinoma

A. RODOLAIKIS, G. SCAMBIA, F. PLANCHAMP, M. ACIEN, A. DI SPIEZIO SARDO, M. FARRUGIA, M. GRYNBERG, M. PAKIŽ, K. PAVLAKIS, N. VERMEULEN, G. ZANNONI, I. ZAPARDIEL, K.L. TRYDE MACKLON

The standard surgical treatment of endometrial carcinoma (EC) consisting of total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy drastically affects the quality of life of patients and creates a challenge for clinicians. Recent evidence-based guidelines of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Society of Pathology (ESP) provide comprehensive guidelines on all relevant issues of diagnosis and treatment in EC in a multidisciplinary setting. While also addressing work-up for fertility preservation treatments and the management and follow-up for fertility preservation, it was considered relevant to further extend the guidance on fertility sparing treatment……..

GET UP is a training designed for young gynaecologists

who are in their last year of residency or first year after specialisation.

In 2023 the GET UP will take place in Rome from April 19 till April 22.

Presented by a distinguished European faculty.

This SIG Urogynecology of the ESGE in collaboration with Facts, Views & Vision in ObGyn has organised a webinar on Alternatives to Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy.

Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy is considered as the gold standard in management of pelvic organ prolapse. The aim of this webinar is to deliver topical lectures on alternatives to this technique with a panel of internationally recognised experts.

This webinar presents indications, technical aspects, tips and tricks and surgical outcomes of alternative management of POP by pectopexy, lateral suspension or laparoscopic native tissue repair. The second part of this session presents alternatives to currently available meshes, the learning aspects as well as the long-term outcomes and nature of recurrences.

Recordings of the ESGE Webinar

Enrol for these recordings to watch this high-level webinar where the panel of internationally recognised experts delivered topical lectures on Controversies in Deep Endometriosis: from Diagnosis to Surgery, an Interdisciplinary Challenge followed by a Questions and Answers session.

No need for septum incision: is it true?

Recordings of the ESGE Webinar

It is generally accepted that septate uterus is related to impaired reproductive outcome. Although septum incision could be applied as a safe and successful treatment option for at least the symptomatic patients (recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility), there is a continuous debate if there is a real indication for treating patients with septate uterus. A recent publication in Human Reproduction opened again the discussion.

Uterine niches: Controversies in diagnosis and management

Recordings of the ESGE Webinar

The European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) and its official journal Facts, Views & Vision host this webinar on Uterine Niches: Controversies in diagnosis and management, organised by the ESGE Niche Working Group. The presentations will be given by leading experts in the field.

Portugal has left a profound cultural, architectural, and linguistic influence across the globe, with a legacy of around 250 million Portuguese speakers, and many Portuguese-based creoles.
