title: Retroperitoneal dissemination of cervix cancer following surgical staging.
abstract: Retroperitoneal and cutaneous dissemination of cervical carcinoma occurred following an extraperitoneal surgical staging procedure. This type of event may be rare or merely underreported in surgical staging literature. Extraperitoneal and laparoscopic staging procedures that result in piecemeal removal of tissue should be studied for the incidence of this type of recurrence.
