Abstract
Study Objective
To demonstrate several reproducible strategies used to overcome the surgical challenges of laparoscopic trachelectomy.
Design
N/A.
Setting
The patient was placed in dorsal lithotomy position, in steep Trendelenburg to aid in the performance of pelvic laparoscopy. Insufflation was carried out to 15mmHg. A primary 10mm umbilical trocar was used for the camera through the mini lap and three additional 5mm assist ports were placed.
Patients or Participants
The patient is a 41-year-old G1P1001 with history of supracervical hysterectomy who presented with persistent pelvic/back pain and vaginal bleeding. Extensive workup for alternative causes were unrevealing and remaining cervix was suspected source of symptoms. With appropriate options counseling and shared-decision making, patient elected to undergo laparoscopic trachelectomy.
Interventions
Laparoscopic trachelectomy with bilateral ureteral stent placement.
Measurements and Main Results
Uncomplicated surgery with same-day discharge followed by uneventful post-operative recovery.
Conclusion
Laparoscopic trachelectomy poses many challenges to the surgeon. In this video, we present a step-wise approach and several reproducible strategies to overcome these obstacles encountered in laparoscopic trachelectomy.
