Robotic Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection: Description of A Technique

ABSTRACT

Different surgical approaches have been reported in the management of lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPND) including open, laparoscopic and robotic. Since the introduction of Da Vinci robotic system in the early 2000s. It has been useful for more meticulous dissection of deep and narrow spaces and easier to gain access. In this article we describe our approach using the Da Vinci Xi robotic system in LPND and with a supplementary video.
