Abstract
Radical retroperitoneal pelvic lymphadenectomy is associated with minimal morbidity but, when combined with radical prostatectomy, the morbidity is increased. The only complication that seemed to be solely owing to the lymphadenectomy was lymphocele formation, which occurred in 10% of patients. This rate is below that reported in gynecologic oncology literature.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
