摘要

In the article "extended lymph node dissection in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy:lymph node yield and distribution of metastases" published on Asian Journal of Andrology,Kim et al.1 present their robot-assisted experience for an extended pelvic lymph node dissection (E-PLND) in the management of intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer patients.The reported lymph node yield and positivity is comparable to literature published in robot-assisted and open approaches for radical prostatectomy.2
