Extraperitoneal Para-aortic Node Dissection Through an Upper Abdominal Incision

HELMUT F. SCHELLHAS. MD. FACOG

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Cincinnati. Ohio.

A surgical technique for para-aortic lymph node evaluation for metastatic tumor by the extraperitoneal approach is described. The procedure is devised to avoid gastrointestinal complications frequently found after transperitoncal evaluation of the para-aortic area followed by extended field irradiation. The surgical procedure was performed in 20 patients. Nine patients treated with 6000 rads extended field irradiation remained without gastrointestinal complications after 3 to 16 months of follow-up.
