Introduction:
The LACC (Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer Trial) study, released in 2018, described oncological findings in favour of open surgery compared to the minimally invasive pathway in the management of early stage cervical cancers. Our aim was to assess the impact of this study on surgical practices in France.
Method:
Online questionnaire, consisting of 13 questions addressed to gynecology oncology french society (SFOG) surgeons.
Results:
Forty questionnaires were collected. The median annual number of radical hysterectomy was 5 (0-20). Prior to the study, 92.5 % of cervical cancer patients had radical hysterectomy by minimally invasive surgery. In case of laparoscopy or robot, the uterine manipulator was used in 67.6 % and the colpotomy was performed intra-abdominally (78.4 %). After the LACC study, 60 % changed their practice. Open surgery was favored by 75 % of those who modified their practice. Among those continuing to perform minimally invasive surgeries, the manipulator and the intracorporeal colpotomy were discontinued. One-third of surgeons have changed their surgical practice for endometrial cancer in parallel.
Conclusion:
The results of the LACC study led to a change in surgical practices with an increase in open surgery and a stop in the use of the uterine manipulator and the laparoscopic/robotic intracorporeal colpotomy in the surgical management of early stage of cervical cancer.

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
