Robotic pelvic and para-aortic retroperitoneal lymph nodes staging for early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer

The objective of this video is to present a complete pelvic and para- aortic lymph node staging by retroperitoneal robotic- assisted laparoscopy of an early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. 1 We present the case of a 38- year- old patient who was diagnosed with an infiltrative subtype mucinous ovarian cancer stage IA. Fertility sparing surgery was indicated provided there was no lymph node involve-ment. A pelvic and para- aortic lymph node dissection was realized for staging purposes. The video features the following steps to perform the retroperitoneal
