Perioperative morbidity and rate of upstaging after laparoscopic staging for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer: results of a prospective…
2015
Objective The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging for cervical cancer is based on clinical examination. Previous studies have demonstrated significant upstaging with surgical staging. However, no randomized trial has ever shown a survival benefit when radiation combined with chemoradiation (RCTX) is modified according to surgical staging. The objective of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of surgical staging prior to radical RCTX treatment among patients with locally advanced cervical cancer in the setting of a larger, prospective, randomized study (the Uterus-11 study of the German Gynecologic Oncology Group). Study Design Between 2009 …
Transperitoneal versus extraperitoneal laparoscopic aortic lymph nodal staging for locally advanced cervical cancer: A systematic review and meta-ana…
2021
Abstract Cervical cancer is the fourth most common neoplasm in women. In locally advanced cervical cancers, the international guidelines recommend nodal aortic assessment. Two techniques have been described to perform laparoscopic aortic lymphadenectomy: transperitoneal laparoscopic lymphadenectomy (TLL) and extraperitoneal laparoscopic lymphadenectomy (ELL). This meta-analysis aims to compare the surgical outcomes of TLL and ELL for staging purposes. The systematic review was carried out in agreement with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses statement (PRISMA). Two hundred and twenty studies were analyzed, and 19 studies were included in the review (7 for …
