Robotic-assisted Pelvic and Para-aortic Lymphadenectomy - is There Still an Indication?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates transpirational robot-assisted pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy for early-stage ovarian cancer staging. Using a minimally invasive, double-docking robotic approach with seven trocars, the procedure involves systematic dissection of lymph node groups from the pelvic region to the left renal vein. Key anatomical landmarks like the aortic bifurcation, ureters, and nerves guide precise node removal. Despite the lack of tactile feedback, enhanced 3D visualization and instrument precision facilitate the complex dissection. The case of a 46-year-old woman with ovarian clear cell carcinoma completed successfully with minimal blood loss and no complications. This approach remains vital for select cancer staging.
