Résumé
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Two validated laparoscopic approaches for para-aortic lymphadenectomy (PAL) exist: the transperitoneal and the extraperitoneal. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of both approaches. DESIGN: A retrospective review of all patients who underwent laparoscopic PAL for a gynecologic malignancy between January 2008 and October 2013. SETTING: University Hospital. PATIENTS: Two patients groups were compared: transperitoneal (n = 51) and extraperitoneal (n = 21). INTERVENTIONS: Paraaortic lymphadenectomy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The chi(2) test, Fisher's exact test, or Student's t-test were used for univariate analysis and a stepwise logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The threshold of statistical significance was set at 0.05. All patient characteristics were similar between the 2 groups (p > .05 for all variables). There was only 1 (1.3%) conversion to laparotomy encountered in the transperitoneal PAL group and 3 conversions from extraperitoneal to transperitoneal PAL (14.2%). In 1 case of extraperitoneal PAL, the procedure was abandoned because of inadequate equipment (body mass index 48 kg/m(2)). The mean duration of surgery was longer in the transperitoneal group: 200 min (35-360) versus 125.6 min (45-180) in the extraperitoneal group (p = .001). The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was higher in the transperitoneal group: 17 (4-37) versus 13 (3-25) in the extraperitoneal group (p = .029). There was no difference in postoperative course and complications between both groups in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: In nonobese patients, the extraperitoneal PAL is associated with shorter surgical duration, whereas the transperitoneal approach was associated with a higher number of harvested lymph nodes. As a result of improved ergonomy, the transperitoneal approach enables laparoscopic management of operative complications.
