Her relatively low BMI was considered technically favorable for transumbilical single-site access and the planned robotic arm configuration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interventions: &lt;/strong&gt;The patient was placed in the dorsal lithotomy position with steep Trendelenburg positioning. A customized port with four independent 10-mm trocars was inserted through a 3.5-cm transumbilical incision. The da Vinci Xi surgical system was docked with caudal camera placement, bipolar fenestrated forceps on the left, monopolar curved scissors on the right, and a cranial assistant channel for laparoscopic countertraction and suction, creating separate triangular working zones. Key operative steps included: 1. Retroperitoneal entry, 2. Identification of the IMA and aortic surface, 3. Ureterolysis and lateralization of the left ureter, 4. Inframesenteric para-aortic nodal dissection along the aortic adventitial plane, 5. En bloc specimen retrieval through the umbilical incision. Particular attention was directed toward continuous identification of vascular landmarks and protection of the left ureter using gauze-assisted displacement during dissection. Assistant-assisted countertraction facilitated stable exposure of the retroperitoneal corridor while minimizing instrument collision within the confined operative workspace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measurements and main results: &lt;/strong&gt;Intraoperative frozen section analysis confirmed lymph node metastasis, prompting completion of hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and resection of suspiciously enlarged bilateral obturator lymph nodes. The total operative time was 187 minutes, and the estimated blood loss was 30 mL. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3 without perioperative complications. Final histopathology confirmed metastasis in 4 of 4 para-aortic lymph nodes, whereas all 19 pelvic lymph nodes were negative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Robot-assisted transumbilical single-site para-aortic lymphadenectomy is feasible in selected patients and may offer ergonomic and minimally invasive advantages for inframesenteric retroperitoneal surgery [1,2].

This video demonstrates extraperitoneal vNOTES pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy in 11 steps, with diagrams that clarify transvaginal entry, retroperitoneal orientation, and para-aortic dissection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Participants: &lt;/strong&gt;A 64-year-old woman with grade 2 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma and suspicious pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes on preoperative positron emission tomography-computed tomography. (Institutional permission was obtained for the publication of this surgical video. The patient provided written informed consent for the surgical procedure and for the use of anonymized clinical and video material for scientific publication. The patient's identity has been protected throughout the manuscript and video. Documentation of institutional permission/IRB exemption is provided in the submission files).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interventions: &lt;/strong&gt;Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and extraperitoneal pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy were performed using vNOTES (Fig. 1). Blue dye was injected into the cervix for sentinel lymph node mapping; however, no stained sentinel lymph nodes were identified. Retroperitoneal access was obtained through the right lateral fornix into the extraperitoneal parametrial space. The paravesical and pararectal spaces were developed, followed by pelvic lymphadenectomy and para-aortic lymphadenectomy up to the renal vein (Figs. 2-3). This route allowed direct caudal-to-cranial access with minimal bowel interference and no abdominal incision, offering improved exposure, reduced abdominal wall trauma, less postoperative pain, and scarless surgery [4]. Potential disadvantages include a steep learning curve, limited working space, instrument collision, and difficulty managing major vascular injuries; therefore, emergency preparedness and appropriate surgical expertise are essential. The procedure was completed without complications, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 2. Pathology showed a 3-cm grade 2 endometrioid carcinoma with less than half myometrial invasion. A total of 12 pelvic and 8 para-aortic lymph nodes were removed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This video illustrates the feasibility of extraperitoneal pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy via vNOTES in selected patients.
