A New Mutation Causing Progressive Familiar Intrahepatic Cholestasis Type 3 in ...

Operação de Wertheim-Meigs: Resultados de 10 anos

Wertheim-Meigs hysterectomy is used in the treatment of cervical cancer, but since 1988 we have also used it to stage and treat endometrial carcinoma. To evaluate the morbidity of Wertheim Meigs hysterectomy as well as node invasion incidence and its correlation with other prognostic factors, the authors made a retrospective study of 112 patients, from October 1986 to March 1996. Among the 112 cases evaluated, ...
