Surgical advantages of laparoscopic pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection using the thermal welding instrument compared with conventional laparotomy for lymph node dissection

Objectives: We sought to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) and para-aortic lymph node dissection (PALND) using a thermal ligating shears (TLS) thermal welding instrument comparing with the conventional laparotomic PLND and PALND in the management of endomet...
