Robotic extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in a patient with a biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer
Abstract
Video. Robotic extended bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy is a mini invasive, safe, technically feasible and effective treatment method forn patients with a biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer and detected lymphadenopathy in the regional lymph nodes on diagnostic imaging methods.
Nevertheless, due to the elimination of surgeon's hands tremors, the instrument's seven degrees of movement, the high image resolution, the magnification of the operating field, the possibility of handling three surgical instruments and camera simultaneously, allows the surgeon to perform a faster and more accurate operation with a subsequent faster patient recovery.
