Technique des lymphadénectomies pelviennes laparoscopiques

Laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy is an important diagnostic procedure for most pelvic uro-gynaecologic carcinomas. We describe the transperitoneal approach which is designed to remove interiliac nodes, the target area of the lymphatic spread of these carcinomas. Potential extents of the procedure, its variants as well as the management of usual intraoperative complications are addressed.
