title: Robotic-assisted resection of isolated paraaortic lymph node recurrence with right lateral decubitus position.
abstract: In this report we describe transperitoneal robotic-assisted paraaortic lymphadenectomy via the right lateral decubitus position to treat solitary recurrence in a patient with cervical carcinoma. This is, to our knowledge, the first report utilizing the right lateral decubitus position rather than the traditional approach with the Trendelenberg position. This approach adds another option for surgical approaches to the paraaortic lymph nodes, particularly in subgroups of patients who have significant cardiopulmonary cormobidities and are unable to tolerate the steep Trendelenburg position.
