Laparoscopic lymphadenectomy is a new surgical modality with increasing usage in the staging and management of prostate carcinoma. Since the presence or absence of metastatic disease in the pelvic lymph nodes must be assessed for proper treatment planning, and preoperative staging studies have a high rate of false negative results, histological evaluation of the pelvic lymph nodes should be performed prior to radical prostatectomy. Laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy is a well tolerated, safe, and accurate alternative to the conventional open surgical procedure.
腹腔镜淋巴结清扫术是一种在前列腺癌分期和治疗中应用日益广泛的新手术方式。由于为了进行恰当的治疗规划必须评估盆腔淋巴结是否存在转移疾病，且术前分期检查有较高的假阴性结果率，因此在根治性前列腺切除术之前应进行盆腔淋巴结的组织学评估。腹腔镜盆腔淋巴结清扫术是传统开放手术耐受性良好、安全且准确的替代方法。
