ABSTRACT
Background: retrieve the largest number of lymph nodes provides
information to know the patient prognosis with invasive cervical cancer
undergoing radical hysterectomy. The aim was to evaluate the
skill of the attending surgeon to identify and recover lymph nodes.
Methods: pelvic lymphadenectomy specimens obtained from patients
with cervical cancer stages IA2-IIA undergoing radical hysterectomy
were studied. The surgeon or the pathologist assessed
the specimens to determine the number of recovered lymph nodes.
The lymph node classification was: right, left, common and total.
Results: the surgeon evaluated nine pelvic dissection specimens
and pathologist other nine. Right lymph nodes: surgeon 14.8 ± 8,
pathology 7.3 ± 3 (
p ‹ 0.01). Left lymph nodes: surgeon 14.3 ± 6,
pathology 7 ± 2 (
p ‹ 0.01). Common lymph nodes: surgeon 6.6 ± 5,
pathology 5.8 ± 5 (p ns). Total lymph nodes: surgeon 35.7 ± 17,
pathology 20.2 ± 7 (
p ‹ 0.01). Specimens with fewer than 20 lymph
nodes recovered: surgeon 1, pathologist 6 (
p = 0.02). Metastatic
lymph nodes: surgery 4, pathologist 2 (
p = ns).
Conclusions: the surgeon may retrieve a larger number of lymph
nodes of pelvic lymphadenectomy specimens.
