Study ObjectiveTo assess the feasibility and efficacy of minimally invasive pelvic exenteration (MIPE) in a multi-institutional Italian case series of women with gynecologic cancer and a review of the literature.DesignRetrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).SettingThree Italian university/teaching hospitals: “Agostino Gemelli” Foundation University Hospital in Rome, "ARNAS Civico Di Cristina Benfratelli” Hospital in Palermo, and “Maggiore della Carità” Hospital in Novara.PatientsWe reviewed all consecutive cases with gynecologic malignancies in this multi-institutional setting recorded between March 2014 and June 2017. Women with primary or central recurrent/persistent gynecologic cancer considered suitable for exenterative surgery after multidisciplinary tumor board discussion were included. Clinicopathological, perioperative, and survival data were retrieved from the institutional electronic database (STAR center).InterventionsAll patients underwent total or anterior MIPE with a laparoscopic or robotic approach.Measurements and Main ResultsTwenty-three patients underwent MIPE during the study period, including 12 (52.1%) by a laparoscopic approach and 11 (47.9%) by a robotic approach. All but 1 woman underwent MIPE for recurrent disease. The overall median operative time was 540 minutes (range, 310–720 minutes) with laparoscopy, slightly longer than with the robotic approach (p = .04). Median estimated blood loss was 400 mL (range, 200–600 mL). R0 resection was achieved in 17 of 23 patients (73.9%). There were no perioperative deaths. Early major postoperative complications occurred in 2 patients (8.7%). The median duration of hospitalization was 10 days (range, 6–33 days). With a median follow-up of 15 months, 11 patients (47.8%) developed recurrence. The median disease-free survival was 11 months (range, 5–18 months). To date, 155 MIPEs for gynecologic cancers have been reported in the literature. Among these, 12.6% had major postoperative complications, and overall postoperative mortality was 0.6%.ConclusionMIPE is a feasible procedure with low rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Careful patient selection is crucial to balance perioperative risks and potential survival benefits and to achieve complete tumor resection. |
