Positive Lymph Nodes

The gradual increase in indications for radical prostatectomy over these last few years has focussed attention on the issue of surgical margin positivity. In terms of prognosis, a positive surgical margin is comparable to lymph node positivity. The routine adoption of the most advanced anatomo-histological methods has increased our 17.5% of positive surgical margins to 30.2% despite surgical indication having become increasingly more rigid. In addition, more precise preoperative staging by echo-guided biopsy of the seminal vesicles and of periprostatic spaces, has allowed patients with positive lymph nodes to be reduced to just over 1%.
