Augmented reality in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery: development, evaluation of accuracy and clinical relevance of a device useful to identify ureters during surgery.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a non-invasive surgical assistance based on augmented reality (AR) in the detection of ureters on animal model.

Method: After an experimental prototyping step on two pigs to determine the optimal conditions for visualization of the ureter in AR, three pigs were operated three times at 1 week intervals. The intervention consisted of an identification of the ureter, with and without the assistance of AR.

Laparoscopic Transperitoneal Para-Aortic Lymphadenectomy in 10 Steps.

Study Objective: Laparoscopic transperitoneal lymphadenectomy has a few advantages. First, it is a minimally invasive approach, and the transperitoneal approach is also the best option when intra-abdominal surgery is indicated. Although the procedure was described more than 2 decades ago, there is a lack of diffusion of the technique.

Type B Laparoscopic Radical Trachelectomy With Pelvic Lymphadenectomy for Early Cervical Cancer.

Study Objective: To demonstrate the technique of laparoscopic radical trachelectomy (LRT) and laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for early cervical cancer.

Design: Case report (Canadian Task Force Classification Study design III).

Setting: Tertiary referral centre in Strasbourg, France.
