Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection: a combined technique.

Conclusions: The combined technique is both feasible and safe. Performing the most difficult maneuver, removal of the prostate, in the first stage appears to be more comfortable for the operator. The timing of the PLND stage in the combined technique and the number of removed LNs do not differ from the standard lenticular access. PMID: 32117504 [PubMed]
