Transperineal endoscopic approach with GelPOINT V-path in laparoscopic pelvic exenteration for postirradiated recurrent cervical cancer.
Gynecologic Oncology Reports 2023 December
Pelvic exenteration (PE) is a highly invasive procedure associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Laparoscopy is a promising option to reduce this invasiveness, and laparoscopic PE significantly reduces blood loss and shortens hospital stays. In the case of a large tumor with invasion to the surrounding organs, laparoscopic dissection around the pelvic floor is sometimes problematic owing to restrictions on handling instruments. To overcome these limitations, we performed a transperineal endoscopic approach using the GelPOINT V-path in addition to laparoscopic PE. This approach enabled dissection around the pelvic floor without the abovementioned obstacles under magnified visualization. As a result, we could dissect the pelvic floor precisely with a reduction of the dead pelvic space, which might contribute to reduced rates of postoperative complications while ensuring oncologic outcomes.
