Robotic Hysterectomy With Protective Vaginal Closure for Early-stage Cervical Cancer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video details a surgical procedure involving sentinel lymph node mapping using idosine and green dye, followed by hydro dissection near the cervix. A cervical cuff was created and sutured with anchor threads for later copectomy. Due to inability to use a uterine manipulator, a stitch was placed for support. The surgeon identified and removed sentinel lymph nodes bilaterally, carefully exposing relevant anatomy. A simple hysterectomy then followed, with ligation of uterine vessels and use of gauze to aid cervical exposure. The vaginal cuff was sutured intact to prevent cancer spread, adhering to standard continuous suture techniques.
