title: [The place of para-aortic lymphadenectomy in gynaecological malignancies. An old debate].
abstract: There is a lack of prospective randomized trial and scientific evidence for the use of para-aortic lymphadenectomy in gynaecological malignancies. This results in variations between countries for its utility. Based on the recommandations of the French Institute of Cancer (INCa), we open the debate of the place of para-aortic lymphadenectomy.
