Overview

Objective: We aim to present a case of a 43-year-old patient diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma in the 15^th week of pregnancy, who underwent robotically-assisted staging in a laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy. Further therapeutic approach was based on the results of subsequent lymph node histopathologic assessment. Conclusion: In pregnant women with cervical cancer, robot-assisted laparoscopic lymphadenectomy is a method of choice for surgical staging.

Keywords:
