Robotic dual-docking surgery for para-aortic lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer: a prospective feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The standard for robotic para-aortic lymphadenectomy has not been fully established. Para-aortic lymphadenectomy performed by sharing the same ports with pelvic procedures, a procedure known as dual-docking surgery, can be performed using the latest robotic system. We prospectively examined the ability of standardized dual-docking robotic surgery in endometrial cancer patients.

Methods

This study prospectively verified the feasibility and safety of dual-docking robotic surgeries performed between March 2017 and December 2021. The laterally placed ports were aligned with the umbilicus. Primary outcome was the surgical completion rate; secondary outcomes were blood loss, operative time, unexpected port placement, conversion, complications, length of hospital stay, a
