title: [Laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic malignancy].
abstract: The gynecologic laparoscopic surgery that has developed in the reproductive field is performed for most cases of benign disease. Introduction of laparoscopic surgery for a gynecologic malignancy is relatively late in comparison with other surgical regions and does not qualify for insurance. An operation for a gynecologic malignancy is classified roughly into a surgery of internal pelvic organs and lymph nodes. The techniques which extensive technology is pursued involve radical hysterectomy and paraaortic lymph node excision. In the surgeons who performed many laparoscopic surgeries, it seems that a surgical procedure other than these can be performed at present. The experienced laparoscopic techniques and the particular knowledge of pelvic anatomy were necessary to perform laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic malignancy.
