Review Meta Analysis
Surgical lymph node assessment in mucinous ovarian carcinoma staging: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The proportion of women with mucinous ovarian carcinoma in whom nodal metastases are identified during staging remains unclear. ⋯ Surgical lymph node assessment in women with stage I-II mucinous ovarian cancer rarely has staging consequences.

Observational Study
Small lesion size measured by colposcopy may predict absence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in a large loop excision of the transformation zone specimen.
To evaluate whether colposcopic measurement of the lesion size at diagnosis and/or human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping can predict the absence of dysplasia in a large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) specimen in women treated for squamous intraepithelial lesions/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (SIL/CIN). ⋯ Small lesion size in colposcopic evaluation might predict the absence of SIL/CIN in an LLETZ specimen.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Diagnostic workup for postmenopausal bleeding: a randomised controlled trial.
To evaluate the effectiveness of hysteroscopy for the detection and treatment of endometrial polyps versus expectant management in women with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB), a thickened endometrium and benign endometrial sampling. ⋯ In women with PMB, hysteroscopy does not reduce recurrent bleeding but is warranted to detect focal malignancy.
