Intraoperative and postoperative complications were assessed in 44 patients undergoing pelvic lymph node dissection for staging of prostatic cancer. In 24 cases an open surgical lymphadenectomy was performed and in the other 20 cases the lymphadenectomy was by laparoscopic approach. Complications in the surgical group were 3 (12%), more or less the same as those of the laparoscopic group (2 cases, 10%). In our opinion with experience of laparoscopic surgical principles, the risk of complications may be minimized so that laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy offers a reliable and minimally invasive alternative to open dissection in selected patients.

Based on a literature review and their own personal experience, the Authors describe the usefulness of pelvic lymph node dissection in the case of bladder, prostate or penis cancer, and its four main aims: staging, cure, prophylaxis and debulking. While in the case of bladder cancer all the afore-mentioned aims may be taken into consideration, in the case of prostatic cancer only staging is of major importance; in the case of penis cancer, lymph node dissection has clearly defined indications.
