✦ Synopsis

Laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the most commonly performed laparoscopic procedure in urology today. Indications for laparoscopic PLND are being refined to selectively identify patients who are at high risk for lymphatic metastases. From a technical standpoint, the anatomic detail and number of lymph nodes retrieved by the laparoscopic approach are comparable to open PLND. Laparoscopic PLND is associated with a steep learning curve and increased operative time; however, the decreased postoperative discomfort, shortened hospital stay, rapid resumption of normal activities, and enhanced cosmesis are clear advantages over open PLND.

Comparative studies have proven the feasibility as well as reduced morbidity of endoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection when compared to open pelvic lymphadenectomy. Transperitoneal laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy. however, has been associated with complications related to transperitoneal access
