Robotic para-aortic lymphadenectomy for isolated colorectal malignancy recurrence: a case report

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: Isolated para-aortic lymph node (PALN) recurrence in colorectal cancer is rare, with a reported incidence of less than 2%. Given this rarity, no consensus exists regarding treatment. Some surgeons elect for resection with the hypothesis that these patients incur an improved overall survival similar to the effect seen in isolated hepatic and lung metastasectomy. PALN dissection has traditionally been performed as an open or laparoscopic procedure. With the advancement of robotic surgical techniques, robotic dissection is now being investigated. While there is increasing literature on robotic PALN dissection in gynecologic malignancy metastasis, the role of robotic surgery for colorectal metastasis is sparsely discussed. The feasibility and adequacy of resection is unknown.
