TEACHING POINTS

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  

TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE

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
