Genitofemoral nerve course and branching variations: what we see during laparoscopic extended pelvic lymph-node dissection in radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, and how to avoid intraoperative lesions: a retrospective analysis
Better understanding of the genitofemoral nerve course and bifurcation points deduced from the extended pelvic lymph node dissection, which are, in any case, applicable to all major pelvic surgery, would prove helpful in avoiding iatrogenic nerve injuries during extended pelvic lymph node dissection.
