Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Surgical complications
Composite outcome defined by including at least one of the following: * Total estimated blood loss \> 500 mL during surgery * Blood transfusion * Intraoperative complication classified as Dindo grade III or worse, related to the aortic lymphadenectomy * Early postoperative complication (within 30 days after surgery) classified as Dindo grade III or worse, related to the aortic lymphadenectomy * Late postoperative complication (past 30 days after surgery) classified as Dindo grade III or worse, related to the aortic lymphadenectomy * Conversion to laparotomy during the aortic lymphadenectomy * Inability to complete the aortic lymphadenectomy
intraoperatively, within 30 days after surgery, and past 30 days after surgery up to 3 months after surgery
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Number of lymph nodes
Postoperatively (within 1 week), at the moment of histopathologic examination
Operative time
At the time of the surgery
Hospital stay
Measured the day the patient is discharged (up to 100 days)
Overall survival
up to 3 years after surgery
Disease-free survival
up to 3 years after surgery
Study Arms (2)
Extraperitoneal
EXPERIMENTALPatients who where randomized to extraperitoneal laparoscopic aortic lymphadenectomy.
Transperitoneal
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients who where randomized to transperitoneal laparoscopic aortic lymphadenectomy.
Interventions
Aortic/para-aortic lymph nodes dissection and retrieval by extraperitoneal laparoscopy; the intervention may be completed by robotic-assisted or traditional laparoscopy.
Aortic/para-aortic lymph nodes dissection and retrieval by transperitoneal laparoscopy; the intervention may be completed by robotic-assisted or traditional laparoscopy.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of endometrial cancer confirmed by histopathological analysis (endometrial biopsy) requiring surgical staging according to FIGO (the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) recommendations
- Diagnosis of ovarian cancer confirmed by histopathological analysis after an initial cystectomy or oophorectomy without suspicion of neoplasia thus requiring additional surgical staging according to FIGO recommendations
You may not qualify if:
- Diagnosis of advanced endometrial cancer based on findings on imaging techniques (CT, MRI and/or PET)
- Diagnosis of advanced endometrial or ovarian cancer based on intraoperative findings (e.g. peritoneal carcinomatosis at initial laparoscopy)
- Patients who underwent previous aortic lymphadenectomy
- Patients who received previous pelvic and/or aortic radiotherapy
