43 patients with sigmoid cancer stage I--III were operated on. The mean operative time was 206.2±73.0 min, considering the sceletonization of the lower mesenteric artery together with the paraaortic lymphadenectomy took 28±9 min. The long-term follow-up was performed in all the patients. The median follow-up time was 39.35±13.1 months. 4 patients had died, 3 of them because of the cancer progression. The paraaortic lymphadenectomy with the lower mesenteric artery sceletonization is now considered to be the method of choice in treatment of sigmoid cancer. The operation is reasonably safe considering the rate of intra- and postoperative complication rate.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of para-aortic lymphadenectomy on blood pressure changes in endometrial cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with endometrial cancer treated surgically between 2017 and 2023. Patients undergoing para-aortic lymphadenectomy, up to the renal artery, in a non-nerve-sparing fashion, were compared with those undergoing pelvic lymphadenectomy or sentinel lymph node mapping.

Postoperative lymphatic ascites following lymph node dissection for gynecologic malignancies is not uncommon, although in most cases it resolves spontaneously within two to three weeks, or at most within four months. We present the case of a 73-year-old woman who underwent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection for endometrial cancer. She subsequently developed a large volume of ascites, which was diagnosed as lymphatic ascites based on biochemical analysis of the ascitic fluid, cytological examination, and CT findings.

Histological results of para-aortic lymph node dissection in patients with negative PET-CT for locally advanced cervical cancer in Reunion Island.

J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod

March 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, North University Hospital of Reunion Island, 97400 Saint-Denis, France; Inserm, CIC 1410, Reunion University Hospital, 97448 Saint-Pierre, Réunion; Université de la Réunion, UFR santé, 40 avenue de Soweto Terre Sainte BP 373, 97455 Saint-Pierre cedex, Réunion.

Objectives: In locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), para-aortic staging is required to determine therapeutic strategy and may be performed using PET-CT; if the scan is negative in the para-aortic region, surgical staging is optional. The aim of the study was to evaluate histological results of para-aortic lymph node dissection in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer and negative PET-CT in Reunion Island.

Materiel Et Methods: This is a bicentric retrospective study including patients from January 2014 to December 2023 at Saint-Denis and Saint-Pierre university hospitals.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, severity, and treatment modalities of chylous ascites after laparoscopic/robotic para-aortic lymph node (PALN) dissection for left-sided colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methods: A cohort of 143 patients who underwent laparoscopic PALN dissection for left-sided CRC were included. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify risk factors for the occurrence of chylous ascites.
