Abstract
The benefits of minimally-invasive surgeries have been documented, and they have been established as the preferred approach for gynecological surgeries. With the development of robotic surgery, many highly complex surgeries can benefit from these advantages. Due to the complexity of aortocaval lymphadenectomy, surgical technique protocols have been described to reduce risks by maximizing benefits.
We describe the technique using five ports (4 robotic arms and an assistant) to work the upper abdominal field, and different instruments recommended in each of their positions to reduce errors and optimize surgical time. After the “step by step” description, we summarize indications of aortocaval lymphadenectomy for every gynecological cancer in different stages.
期刊介绍:
In practical paperback format, each 200 page topic-based issue of Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology will provide a comprehensive review of current clinical practice and thinking within the specialties of obstetrics and gynaecology.
All chapters take the form of practical, evidence-based reviews that seek to address key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. Management will be described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient.
