Robotic right paraaortic lymphadenectomy using a proposed simple camera maneuver to avoid redocking
In this video of paraaortic lymphadenectomy for ovarian cancer, we show a very simple robotic maneuver, for transitioning from the pelvic to the upper abdominal (ie cephalad) robotic camera orientation. Our proposed maneuver, eliminates the need to undock and re-dock the robot or to work on a perpendicular plain over the aortic nodes in order to continue from pelvic, to para-aortic lymph node dissection.

This is feasible only with the DaVinci Xi model.

With the increasing use of robotic assisted technology, the free camera movement of conventional laparoscopy is significantly limited as the robot has to be undocked to move to the upper abdomen view.
This disadvantage is tackled with our maneuver, the 'Hilaris maneuver' and the use of the DaVinci-Xi.

Fertility & Cancer

Women of reproductive age that may develop gynecologic cancers... also have to cope with the prospect of not being able to bear children.

Laparotomy

Laparotomy is still considered a reliable and trustworthy procedure for a trained surgeon to perform whenever deemed clinically necessary.

Radical Hysterectomy
Radical Hysterectomy

The first total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, with complete pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection, was performed in Greece in 2004 by Dr. G. Hilaris and his team.
