Indications, feasibility and outcome of robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for metastatic testicular germ cell tumours
Abstract Data on robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (R-RPLND) for metastatic testicular germ cell tumours (mTGCTs) are scarce and the use of R-RPLND itself is still under debate. The aim of our study was to evaluate the indications, feasibility and outcomes of R-RPLND, with special emphas...

For pR-RPLND versus pcR-RPLND, median time of surgery was 243 min [interquartile range (IQR) 123–303] versus 359 min (IQR 202–440, p = 0.154) and median blood loss 100 mL (IQR 50–200) versus 275 mL (IQR 100–775, p = 0.018).
