This study used a deidentified nationwide (US-based) high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) clinicogenomic database (CGDB) to enrich our understanding of HGSOC's genomic heterogeneity and assess the utility of comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) in clinical settings. We conducted a retrospective observational analysis on 856 patients with HGSOC profiled with CGP genomic tests, retrieved from CGDB from January 2011 to September 2023. In addition to Overall, our study provides evidence that CGP significantly improves the identification of molecular targets in HGSOC, supporting its importance in the clinical practice to provide patients with more therapeutic options.

Laparoscopic surgery of obese patients still represents a real challenge in clinical practice. High-pressure pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position are the main anesthesiologic indications to laparotomic conversion. The aim of this prospective study was to assess effectiveness and safety of low-pressure laparoscopic (LPL) procedures using a subcutaneous abdominal wall-retraction (LaparoTenser ®). We enrolled obese patients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m A total of 33 patients were included in this study. The median age was 69 (range: 40-83), with a median BMI of 39 kg/m LPL technique using the LaparoTenser ® device is feasible and safe in morbidly obese patients. The wall-lifting device enables adequate viscera exposure creating a large intra-abdominal operative space avoiding the disadvantages of intraperitoneal high-pressure and CO Show less
