Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND) In Testicular Cancer

Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Lymph node Dissection (RPLND) seems to offer similar staging accuracy and long term outcomes to Open RPLND. It is also a reasonable option in terms of morbidity. However, solid laparoscopic skills are necessary to safely perform this surgery. In the following article, we assess indications, access, surgical technique, complications and controversies of the laparoscopic RPLND.
