Laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy

Abstract

We analyzed our first 41 patients with localized prostate cancer treated with laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) as staging procedure followed either by radical perineal prostatectomy or interstitial radiotherapy. 7/41 patients (17%) had pelvic lymph node metastases and received endocrine therapy. Overall complication rate was low (7.5%) and no major complication occurred. LPLND is minimally invasive and provides staging accuracy in prostate cancer.
