How RPLND (Open/Laparoscopic) is performed
This procedure targets suspected affected lymph nodes in the retroperitoneum, with open or laparoscopic approaches available. Typically performed under general anesthesia, the retroperitoneum is accessed, and important blood vessels and ureters are identified and protected. Lymphatic tissue is resected according to a predetermined template, with nerve sparing performed as necessary (if applicable). The specimen is sent for pathology. Postoperative monitoring focuses on urine output, bowel movements, and drainage. The goal is to remove residual lesions and obtain staging information. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
