Popis: Eighteen patients undergoing laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy were compared with eighteen patients undergoing lymph node dissection performed via a totally extraperitoneal approach called extraperitoneal endoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection. Operative time, nodal yield, and hospital stays were essentially the same in both groups. However, the laparoscopic approach had a greater incidence of morbidity, leading the authors to adopt a totally extra-peritoneal endoscopic approach to pelvic lymph node dissection. Advantages of using an extraperitoneal approach are presented.
