Abstract:
Upper abdominal involvement in recurrent cervical cancer usually occurs as part of systemic disease and is most often amenable to palliative chemotherapy. However, in certain cases in which oligometastatic disease is proven, surgery might be considered. We present a case series of six patients submitted to surgery for upper abdominal oligometastases with cervical origin. The main surgical procedures performed included atypical hepatectomy (in five cases) and splenectomy (in one case). In all cases, the cervical origin of the lesions was revealed by histopathological studies. After a median follow-up period of 1 year, there was no evidence of recurrent disease in five cases, while the sixth case was diagnosed with disseminated lesions and is under palliative chemotherapy. In conclusion, upper abdominal resection for oligometastatic disease from cervical cancer can improve the long-term survival in selected cases.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
