Objectives: The aims of this study are to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic iliac external lymphadenectomy and to define current indications of this technique in pre-treatment staging of cervical carcinoma.
Material And Method: Forty seven patients with FIGO stages IA-IIIB invasive cervical cancer underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic iliac lateral lymphadenectomy prior to initiation of treatment. The mean length of operation was 115 min (35-180). An average of 14 nodes were retrieved from each patient (3-30). Percentage of complete removal was 96% in this study. The rate of complications was 6%, they were always minor. Today's most accepted indications concern: 1) FIGO IA2 stages with lymphovascular involvement or micro-invasion over 3mm, for which a simple resection of lesions can be performed if pN0. 2) Small FIGO IB stages where an exclusive vaginal enlarged colpo-hysterectomy can be performed for pN0. Other indications should not be performed for the moment except for therapeutical trials.

Laparoscopic Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh Repair for Symptomatic Secondary Lumbar Hernia After Retroperitoneoscopic Nephrectomy: A Case Report.

Lumbar hernia (LH) is a rare abdominal wall hernia that occurs within the anatomic boundaries of the 12th rib, iliac crest, external oblique muscles, erector spinae muscles, and vertebral column. Secondary LH after urological surgery is rare, and the limited evidence hinders consensus on optimal surgical treatment. Here, we present a case of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair for a large, symptomatic secondary LH after retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RN) with mid-term postoperative outcomes.

Inguinal-iliac-obturator lymph node dissection is essential in the treatment of patients with cutaneous melanoma exhibiting the clinical or radiological involvement of pelvic lymph nodes. The open procedure is associated with elevated mortality rates. Numerous minimally invasive approaches have been suggested to mitigate the impact of this surgery on the patient's quality of life.
