Occult endometrial pathologies diagnosed after sacrocolpopexy with concomitant supracervical hysterectomy for pelvic organ prolapse.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Sacrocolpopexy with concomitant hysterectomy is a common procedure for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. However, occult endometrial pathologies, including malignancies, may be present in some patients, which should be considered when planning the management. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of occult endometrial pathologies, including malignancies, in patients undergoing sacrocolpopexy with concomitant supracervical hysterectomy, and to identify associated risk factors. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study including all patients who underwent sacrocolpopexy with supracervical hysterectomy between November 2010 and December 2023. A total of 226 procedures were analyzed. Results: Among the 226 patients, 15 cases of occult endometrial pathology were identified, representing an incidence of 6.6%. These included 14 cases of endometrial hyperplasia with atypia (6.2%) and 1 case of endometrial carcinoma (0.4%). No oncological recurrence was observed after a mean follow-up period of 26 months. Conclusions: The incidence of occult endometrial pathologies in this cohort was 6.6%. Particular attention should be given to postmenopausal patients and those with risk factors for endometrial malignancy. The use of a containment bag is recommended during specimen extraction to prevent the potential dissemination of occult malignancies. This study highlights the importance of avoiding unprotected morcellation of surgical specimens, particularly in high-risk populations.
