Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Genitourinary Cancer Staging

Background:

  • Paraaortic lymph node sampling is crucial for staging genitourinary cancers.
  • Traditional surgical approaches carry significant complication risks.
  • Advancements in endoscopic technology enable minimally invasive alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a porcine model for extraperitoneal endoscopic paraaortic lymph node dissection.
  • To evaluate this technique as a staging procedure for genitourinary cancers.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of the prone extraperitoneal endoscopic approach.

Main Methods:

  • A porcine model was utilized with the animal in a prone position.
  • An extraperitoneal pneumoperitoneum was established.

  • A three-port endoscopic technique was employed for lymph node dissection.

    • Main Results:

    • Nearly 95% of paraaortic lymph nodes were successfully removed laparoscopically.
    • The procedure was performed without any observed complications.
    • The prone position facilitated a clear surgical view, unobstructed by bowel.

    Conclusions:

    • Extraperitoneal endoscopic paraaortic lymph node dissection is a safe and efficient method.
    • The prone positioning enhances surgical safety and visualization.
    • This technique offers a promising minimally invasive option for genitourinary cancer staging.
