Familiarity with the normal anatomic findings is essential to distinguish expected post-operative changes from surgical complications or recurrent disease in patients with gynecological cancers.
The major objectives of this exhibit are to:
Summarize the technical advances in gynecologic surgery
To review normal expected radiological findings in patients with gynecological cancers undergone major surgery
To illustrate CT and MRI broad spectrum of postoperative complications in early and late post-operative periods, including mimickers of recurrence
To describe the usefulness of CT and MRI in the diagnosis and follow-up of postoperative complications in patients treated for ovarian, cervical and uterine cancer
Each topic below will be discussed and illustrated:
Basic surgical techniques
Abdominal CT and Pelvic MRI protocols
CT and MR imaging findings in early and late post-operative periods:
- Normal post-surgical findings
- Benign findings
- Postoperative fluid collections, dehiscences, fistulas, anastomotic leakage, vascular complications including hemorrhage and ischemia, and rarer complications including ureteral rupture and stenosis.
- Malignant findings and cancer recurrence
