[Port-site metastasis after retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for endometrial adenocarcinoma]

Abstract

Port-site metastasis is a rare but serious complication of laparoscopic surgery. The etiologies are poorly identified and multiple. We report the case of port-site metastasis after laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for endometrial adenocarcinoma. In the literature, three cases of port-site metastasis after laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy are reported: two cases concerning cervical cancer and one case concerning a kidney cancer. To our knowledge, this is the only case about port site metastasis after laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for endometrial adenocarcinoma.
