Multidisciplinary panel discussion of a gynecologic oncology patient: preventing wound complications.
At the 39th meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists, a multidisciplinary panel presented and discussed the current management strategies for the treatment of complex wounds. After the presentations, the panel discussed the management options for a morbidly obese endometrial cancer patient with a focus toward the complex wound that may delay discharge, healing, or the start of adjuvant treatment. This article highlights the clinical considerations discussed for these types of patients.
