Surgical Film Library-Laparoscopic Staging For Ovarian Cancer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates laparoscopic staging for ovarian cancer, emphasizing a thorough abdominal cavity exploration and biopsy technique using a single port trocar and three 5 mm trocars in triangulation. Key areas examined include the greater omentum, transverse colon, liver, diaphragm, stomach, spleen, pelvic organs, and intestines to identify tumor involvement. Special attention is given to potential blocking areas affecting debulking surgery feasibility, such as porta-hepatis tumors, mesenteric masses, and bowel involvement. The procedure prioritizes avoiding tumor dissemination by minimizing lateral trocar use and focusing biopsies on the diamantum. Rigorous documentation with photos is essential for therapeutic planning.
