Abstract
Laparoscopy has emerged as a valid alternative to open surgery. Surgery assistance is a full part within the learning of laparoscopy. Even more than in open surgery, efficient assistance facilitates the surgeon's work and helps shortening the intervention duration. Basic principles are detailed, such as the number and the position of trocars, or how to adequately manipulate optic and camera or suction devices. Specific gesture of the assistant during a pelvic laparoscopic lymphadenectomy is presented step by step, with the procedure undertaken by intra- or extra-peritoneal approach.
