Feasibility of the "One-Finger Technique" for Identifying the Upper Left Ureter During Para-Aortic Lymphadenectomy
Sponsor: Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University
Summary
Para-aortic lymphadenectomy plays an important role in the surgical treatment of major gynecological malignancies (ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancer). Identifying bilateral ureters is a crucial step, and dissecting the upper left ureter is particularly challenging with no standardized method. This study introduces an anatomical technique called the "One-Finger Technique" for this purpose. This prospective, single-arm exploratory study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the "One-Finger Technique" during open para-aortic lymphadenectomy.
