Single-port access laparoscopic re-staging with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection for endometrial cancer

Publication date: Available online 10 November 2014 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Xiaohui Ong , Elisa Koh , Timothy Yong Kuei Lim Laparo-endoscopic single site surgery (LESS) is a relatively new technique that has been described in recent medical literature to be feasible in the management of benign gynaecological conditions. However, the use of this technique in the management of gynaecological cancers is still controversial. In this case report, we describe the first single port laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy performed in Singapore. This involved a patient who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer after a vaginal hysterectomy for uterovaginal prolapse.
