* To determine the feasibility of performing an extraperitoneal laparoscopic lymphadenectomy in patients with stage IB2-IVA cervical carcinoma who are dispositioned to undergo radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy.
* To document intraoperative and postoperative complications in patients undergoing extraperitoneal laparoscopic lymphadenectomy.
* To determine the rate of lymph node metastases in the para-aortic region in patients with stage IB2-IVA cervical cancer.
