Port Site Metastases after Laparoscopic Lymph Node Staging of Cervical Carcinoma
2001
The literature revealed only six cases of cervical carcinoma metastatic to a port site after laparoscopic lymphadenectomy. A woman with a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix had port site metastases after laparoscopic lymph node staging. The frequency of this event might be higher than expected. Therefore, surgeons should reduce mechanical irritation of port sites and spillage of tumor cells.
