Case description

The following video shows a dissection of pelvic lymph node in a robot assist due to prostate cancer. Pelvic lymph node dissection in prostate cancer is the most effective method for detecting lymph node metastases. Pelvic lymph node dissection during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy can be performed effectively and safely. The extended template is technically feasible with minimal morbidity. Pelvic lymph node dissection improves staging and improves prognosis in intermediate- and high-risk patients. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm the long-term benefit of an extended Pelvic lymph node dissection on cancer control.
