A propensity score evaluation of single-port or multiport extraperitoneal para-aortic lymphadenectomy and the transperitoneal approach for gynecological cancers

摘要

Introduction > Endoscopic para-aortic lymphadenectomy (PALN) is a crucial step in the management of gynecological cancers. However, some concerns exist on the completeness of PALN according to the route (transperitoneal vs. extraperitoneal single-port or multiport). We compared these three surgical techniques using a propensity score.
