Résumé
Para-aortic lymphadenectomy is an essential part of gynecologic oncologic surgical treatment. The surgeon should be aware of the complex usual anatomy and its common variants. Between January 2021 and May 2023, 58 women underwent para-aortic lymphadenectomy for gynecologic malignancies. Vascular and urinary tract anatomic variants were retrospectively reviewed from the prospective institutional database and results were compared with preoperative contrast-enhanced abdominal CT. Of these 58 women, 47 women had no vascular or urinary tract variants. One woman had a double inferior vena cava, two patients were found to have a retro-aortic left renal vein, four had accessory renal arteries, two had a double left ureter, one had a ptotic kidney in the iliac fossa, and one patient had bilateral kidney malrotation. Anatomic variants in the preoperative CT were described by a radiologist in only two patients, and additional vascular and urinary tract variants were found incidentally at the time of surgery. Acknowledgment of vascular and urinary tract variants is helpful for the surgeon to establish an appropriate surgical plan and to avoid iatrogenic surgical trauma.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Para-aortic lymphadenectomy is an essential part of gynecologic oncologic surgical treatment. The surgeon should be aware of the complex usual anatomy and its common variants.
METHODS
METHODS
Between January 2021 and May 2023, 58 women underwent para-aortic lymphadenectomy for gynecologic malignancies.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Vascular and urinary tract anatomic variants were retrospectively reviewed from the prospective institutional database and results were compared with preoperative contrast-enhanced abdominal CT. Of these 58 women, 47 women had no vascular or urinary tract variants. One woman had a double inferior vena cava, two patients were found to have a retro-aortic left renal vein, four had accessory renal arteries, two had a double left ureter, one had a ptotic kidney in the iliac fossa, and one patient had bilateral kidney malrotation. Anatomic variants in the preoperative CT were described by a radiologist in only two patients, and additional vascular and urinary tract variants were found incidentally at the time of surgery.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Acknowledgment of vascular and urinary tract variants is helpful for the surgeon to establish an appropriate surgical plan and to avoid iatrogenic surgical trauma.
