title: [Left colon necrosis after endoscopic para-aortic lymph node exploration in a cervical carcinoma stage IIB].
abstract: Authors report a left colon ischemia six days after laparoscopic para-aortic lymphadenectomy in the staging of advanced cervical carcinoma. Before surgery, positron emission tomography scanning was performed: there were no para-aortic nodal metastasis. The histologic examination confirmed the radiological staging. Positron emission tomography scanning could avoid surgery in the case of patients with high risks morbidity factors.
