pubmed:abstractText
Recent reports have established the feasibility and minimal morbidity of laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection in the staging of prostate and bladder cancer. In addition, a prospective study recently published established the completeness and efficacy of this form of endocavitary surgical lymphadenectomy with respect to the standard modified open procedure. The method's utility prior to definitive radiation therapy or radical perineal prostatectomy is obvious. However, clear indications of its utility in identifying men with positive nodes prior to radical retropubic prostatectomy are less clear. A description of the surgical technique as well as a review of the existing literature, and our present indications for its use are presented. In addition, possible future applications of endocavitary node dissection will be put in context.
