The benefits of minimally-invasive surgeries have been documented, and they have been established as the preferred approach for gynecological surgeries. With the development of robotic surgery, many highly complex surgeries can benefit from these advantages. Due to the complexity of aortocaval lymphadenectomy, surgical technique protocols have been described to reduce risks by maximizing benefits. We describe the technique using five ports (4 robotic arms and an assistant) to work the upper abdominal field, and different instruments recommended in each of their positions to reduce errors and optimize surgical time. After the "step by step" description, we summarize indications of aortocaval lymphadenectomy for every gynecological cancer in different stages.

Robotic Radical Cholecystectomy: Demonstrating Technical Equivalence to Open Surgery in Gallbladder Cancer.

Background: Open radical cholecystectomy is the current "gold standard" for the management of gallbladder cancer. In well-selected patients, robotic radical cholecystectomy (RRC) can be a suitable alternative offering immediate postoperative benefits, such as less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and fewer complications, while being oncologically equivalent. However, it requires a longer learning curve.

The aim of this video is to present the procedural details of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with aortocaval (infrarenal aortic bifurcation) lymphadenectomy, partial resection of the pelvic peritoneum (peritoneal carcinomatosis index, 3), and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in a patient who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for stage IVc colorectal cancer. The total operation time was 290 minutes, and the patient was discharged on a postoperative day 13 without any complications. No postoperative complications occurred until postoperative day 60.

Department of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary and Liver Transplant Surgery, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham B15 2GW, United Kingdom.
Background: Para-aortic lymph nodes (PALN) are found in the aortocaval groove and they are staged as metastatic disease if involved by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The data in the literature is conflicting with some studies having associated PALN involvement with poor prognosis, while others not sharing the same results. PALN resection is not included in the standard lymphadenectomy during pancreatic resections as per the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery and there is no consensus on the management of these cases.

Objective: To determine the indications for lymph node dissection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Material And Methods: The study included 105 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent dissection of 8, 9, 12, 13 and 16a2 groups of lymph nodes. Concomitant liver diseases were not a contraindication for lymph node dissection.
