Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection for Testicular and Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer—Surgical Technique and Outcomes of a Single-surgeon Series
In this study, we examined the outcomes after robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. We conclude that it is a safe and effective procedure for patients with testicular cancer and cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter when performed by experienced surgeons. Therefore, it can be a suitable choice for certain patients, depending on their individual circumstances. Patients should also be given detailed instructions about what to expect after surgery, including how to take care of themselves at home to promote recovery and stay safe after being discharged from the hospital.
