It is a preventable cancer, and early detection of precancerous conditions through the Papanicolaou cytology screening (Pap smear) is a key aspect of prevention;it is accepted worldwide as an efficient tool for secondary prevention. While the PS test is simple, inexpensive, and relatively reliable as a method of diagnosing cervical cancer, most women do not take the test. Therefore, this study is sought to describe the barriers to pap smear uptake among Sudanese women. Materials and Method: This total coverage observational, analytical and cross sectional, hospital-based study was conducted in Saad Abu El Ella Hospital in April 2022. The study was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire to assess the perceived barriers of 93 participants. All data were computerized using Microsoft Excel’17 and the data were described and analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS23). Results: The findings revealed that the mean age of the participants was 39.5 years and only 3.2% had ever undergone a pap smear test. Identified barriers were lack of information, not knowing where to go, and fear of pain. The majority, 72% are willing to routinely perform a pap smear test if well informed about it. The study also demonstrates that there is a significant correlation between perceived barriers score and willingness to perform the pap smear test (p value = 0.008), and between the perceived barriers score and the sociodemographic factors: Age (p value = 0.006), educational level (p value = 0.028) and occupation (p value = 0.040), but no association with the economic status was found (p value = 0.378). Conclusion: The detection rate is too low compared to the national target of over 70%. Therefore, more work is needed to reduce perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening by providing education/raising for popular awareness;addressing misconceptions and false beliefs;informing women about the necessity and importance of Pap smear;and health promotion using mass media such as national television, social media, radio, billboards, and newspapers and other print media.展开更多

One such flap is the profunda artery perforator(PAP) flap. To date,there is no scientific consensus on whether voluminous free flaps remain dependent on their vascular pedicle throughout their lifespan. Therefore, the pedicle should always be carefully protected during revision surgery.In this article, we review the case of a middle-aged woman who suffered a pedicle transection needing reanastomosis during revision surgery six months after free-flap breast reconstruction. A 52-year-old woman who noticed a firm nodule in her right breast and armpit was referred to our department for surgical management. The Caucasian woman presented with no significant medical history or symptoms at the first consultation. Ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed an invasive grade Ⅲ lobular carcinoma. Following staging,the patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy before a right mastectomy with a complete homolateral axillary lymph node dissection and postoperative radiotherapy. One year after completing radiotherapy, free flap reconstruction with a PAP flap was performed, and six months later, revision surgery was required to enhance the volume of the reconstructed breast with a tissue expander and later an implant. Unfortunately,pedicle transection occurred during revision surgery, causing complete devascularization of the flap, which was confirmed by intraoperative Indocyanine Green imaging. The authors elected to perform salvage reanastomosis during the surgery. In keeping with the author’s 23-year experience with free flaps, the vascular pedicle should always be preserved in voluminous free flaps, as neovascularization alone may not ensure whole flap survival. The authors suggest always attempting re-anastomosis if vessels are compromised during revision surgery.展开更多
