Pelvic lymphadenectomy with stripping technique in 43 cases

Pelvic lymphadenectomy with stripping technique--Gao's stripping pelvic lymphadenectomy (GSPL) was introduced. From January to December 1989, this operation was performed on 43 patients (36 patients with cervical carcinoma, 5 endometrial carcinoma and 2 ovarian carcinoma). The mean time of the operation was 12.56 minutes for the left side, and 13.33 minutes for the right side. No severe complications were found. The bleeding during operation was minimal. The main advantages of GSPL include high-speed operation, clean and integral lymphnodes stripped, less bleeding and complications, and easy performance of operation.
