Article Description

Nerve sparing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection has been the standard diagnostic and therapeutic approach to clinical stage I nonseminoma. However, the application of prognostic risk factors and introduction of laparoscopy have recently called into question the clinical usefulness of nerve sparing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. We assessed the therapeutic efficacy and associated complications of this procedure in patients with clinical stage I nonseminomatous germ cell tumor treated at 7 tertiary referral centers to evaluate its role in the modern management of low stage testis cancer.
