Role of operative laparoscopy in gynecologic oncology

  • Chapter
Gynecologic Oncology

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 95))

Abstract

Modern operative laparoscopy entered the oncologic realm with the advent of laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy. This technique, which was originated in France by Daniell Dargent, was performed on patients with early cervical cancer using a retroperitoneal approach [1,2]. The first transperitoneal pelvic lymphadenectomies were reported in 1991 by Querleu for staging patients with early cervical carcinoma [3].
