Résumé
To propose a treatment algorithm, after the LACC trial, of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy with frozen section, followed by immediate open radical hysterectomy in node-negative cases, for early stage cervical cancer. We retrospectively collected all cases of cervical cancer that were surgically treated between 2019-2020. In all cases, surgery began with laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy ± ovarian transposition. Node-negative cases continued with open radical hysterectomy. In node-positive cases, surgery was discontinued, sparing the patient a laparotomy incision. Nine patients with cervical cancer were referred for surgery. Laparoscopic bilateral lymph node identification was achieved in all. In two cases, sentinel lymph nodes were positive for metastatic cancer and surgery was discontinued. For the other seven, node-negative patients, open radical hysterectomy was completed. Four patients had laparoscopic ovarian transposition. There were no cases where nodes were negative on frozen section but positive on final pathology. Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy before open radical hysterectomy may spare a considerable number of laparotomies on the one hand and bi-modal treatment with surgery and radiation on the other, for node-positive patients. The oncological safety of this approach is yet to be determined.
