Oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy in conjunction with template-based lymph node dissection: An extended follow-up study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our observation showed that template-based LND could contribute to precise disease staging and better local disease control probably by eliminating nodal disease, compared with previous studies. The survival impact and ideal management of pNmicro+ disease should be evaluated in a larger cohort.
