Abstract

Introduction/Background Recently, surgical staging has been recommended to select a treatment modality for locally advanced cervical cancer. We approached the case by considering studies that talk about clinical outcomes and risk factors for overall survival (OS) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated according to lymph node status.

Methodology Step by step video demonstration of the laparoscopic approach to extraperitoneal lymph node dissection who had locally advanced cervical cancer

Results The operation time was 85 minutes. The bleeding was 50 cc. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. The patient was discharged after 2 days of surgery. The pathology results were squamous cell carcinoma.

Conclusion Metastasis to paraaortic lymph nodes is the primary prognostic factor that affects survival. Surgery would provide information regarding the patient‘s prognosis and treatment options.

Disclosures We approached the case by considering the studies on extraperitoneal lymph node dissection in locally advanced cervical cancer patients.
