Surgical complications comparing extraperitoneal vs transperitoneal laparoscopic aortic staging in early stage ovarian and endometrial cancer

Abstract

The extraperitoneal approach did not show differences regarding surgical and oncological parameters compared with the transperitoneal approach, although the number of aortic nodes retrieved was higher. The decision to use one or another laparoscopic route is a matter of the surgeon preference. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov.identifier: NCT02676726.
