Abstract
Laparoscopic management of major vessel lesion is a challenging task during pelvic lymphadenectomy, and conversion is frequently necessary. Robotic surgery overcomes the limits of laparoscopy in vascular suturing. We describe a case of a 79-year-old woman with stage IB G3 endometrial adenocarcinoma, where an external iliac vein injury occurred during pelvic lymphadenectomy. This is the first case report that describes robotic management of a major vascular injury during pelvic lymphadenectomy by use of endoscopic bulldog clamps and robotic intracorporeal vascular sutures.
